Duskruin Battle Vault Will Include Greater Felcur Gauntlets

DUSKRUIN NEWS: GM Xynwen announced Greater Felcour Gauntlets for dueling. They make a private dueling arena (like Festival of the Fallen/Flotilla arenas) and lets onlookers enjoy the duel, too. Hand worn, fluff slot, they will only be available with SimuCoins, purchased in SimuCoin Shop’s Battle Vault during Duskruin Feb 2025. Gauntlets will be character attuned to person who opens the vault. Can BREAK it and find an account-attuned violet exp orb! At the wiki:

[Duskruin] Battle Vault Special Item — Greater Felcour Gauntlets

When February’s battle vault goes up for sale, it will include in it a pair of gauntlets known as the Greater Felcour Gauntlets. These are fashioned after the original Felcour gauntlets, with some special features unique to these!

In addition to THROWing down a gauntlet in front of someone to challenge them to a duel like the original gauntlets, you can WAVE your gauntlets at your opponent. This will set up a magical portal — the challenger and opponent will be taken to a fighting arena if they go through it. Everyone else will be taken to a viewing room.

These arenas work off the same mechanics as the flotilla and Festival of the Fallen arenas. The portal leading in will stay up for 15 minutes — so you and your opponent can go back in as often as you want during those 15 minutes to keep fighting.

You can use this option four (4) times a day. This resets at midnight server time.

With the initial release, you have two themes for your arena — a black sand arena and a shipwreck arena. An upcoming expansion will include a way to get multiple other themes. You can use the WHISPER function to select which look you want for your arena and viewing area.

These gauntlets are handworn, using the fluff slot. You can THROW and WAVE while holding or wearing.

REMINDER At this point, these are only available through the battle vaults for February 2025’s DR run, with no plans to release in other ways. And if they just aren’t your thing, you can BREAK it and get an account-bound EXP orb just like previous vault options
