Brawling gloves (Thieving) (also known as Thieving brawling gloves) are obtained as a drop from Revenants in the Forinthry Dungeon, the Chaos Elemental, as a drop from the Rare drop table or by thieving Ithell workers in Prifddinas.
The gloves provide 50% bonus while training on the Thieving skill. In addition, the gloves provide up to 300% bonus to experience if players train while in the Wilderness. The gloves will disintegrate after approximately 700 uses.
They provide no Attack or Defence bonuses whatsoever.
In contrast to other skills, there are relatively few ways to get the full 300% bonus experience due to the lack of training methods in the Wilderness. Pickpocketing rogues in the Wilderness will yield around 100,000 experience in the lifetime of the gloves. A much better option would be to pick the locks of the chests up the ladder in the Rogues' Castle (requiring a Lockpick). There are three chests yielding 1,200 xp per pick-lock (900 bonus xp), which can be closed and re-opened without needing to wait. Be aware that failure is extremely common.
Due to the lack of methods in the wilderness, players should consider other methods to optimise use. The optimal method of use is probably Pyramid Plunder, since the experience comes as larger chunks, thus prolonging the life of the gloves; searching an urn in the final room grants 825 experience. Dwarven Traders are likely the next best option, since they grant a base XP of 556.5.
