Shaman's Scallywag Gauntlets of the Flock

Shaman's Scallywag Gauntlets of the Flock slip onto the forearms like a tide-soured gift from the sea itself: weathered leather that remembers every storm, ribbed with copper rivets that catch the sun in a blink, and a backhand carved with raven-wing patterns that seem to move when you’re not looking. The texture carries a salt-kissed grit, a faint brine that lingers in the seams, as if the gloves were forged from the hide of a storm-swept gull and then braided with the husk of whispered legends. Along the cuffs, dry fern-green stitching threads through silver filaments, and tiny barnacles, long dried, cling as if they still owe the wearer a debt of tide and time. In the soft lining lies a quiet warmth, like the harbor after dusk: not a flame, but a memory of one. Lore tells of the Shaman who first wore them, a figure who rode with a caravan known as the Flock, a roving band that followed migratory birds as one might follow a rumor. They say the gauntlets carry a pact with the wind—that every gust that passes through them loosens a tether to the world and hurls it toward the wearer’s will. In practice, the bells and whistles the game offers you through these gloves read like a sea-chanted manuscript. When you stride into the open, the Scallywag Gauntlets seem to pick up a rhythm in your step—an almost birdlike tempo that invites allies to close the distance and enemies to overcommit. They don’t simply boost power; they tilt the battlefield toward mobility and timing. Swing fast, feint with a glance, and let the wind carry the impact where you want it to land. The Flock connection feels less about brute force and more about weathering the board—your own personal squall that unsettles targets long enough for your allies to slip in between the spray and the spray of arrows. Some players report a subtle enhancement to their crit-chains, a knack for weaving evasion into offense, as if the gauntlets are teaching you to read the wind and ride it. I watched a veteran draped in this gear glide through a skirmish like a gull riding a rising swell, the back of her hands flashing with those raven motifs as she danced from cover to cover, guiding a feint that split a squad and left a healer with a clean line to reach the wounded. The Flock, it seems, was never just a piratey flourish; it was a philosophy of moving with, not against, the environment, letting birds and breath and beak-like arrows of timing define the moment. Market whispers, too, tell a story. At Saddlebag Exchange, where traders bartel and barter in quiet voices, the gauntlets catch the eye of those who scout for a mix of style and utility. A price tag flickers, a negotiation thread pulled between eyes and grizzled hands, and the seller’s tone hints at stories of storms survived and bargains forged in candlelight. If you’re tempted by the glint of copper and the promise of a swifter, wittier fight, these gloves are the kind of relic that annotates a chapter you want to live through—one with the sea’s edge at your back and a flock of possibilities gathered at your wrists.
