Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Goblin (level 2), at 1/128 (about one every 128 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Smithing and gives 15 Smithing XP, using Bronze bar. Making ten takes 10 × Bronze bar and gives 150 Smithing XP. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 5 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Bronze gauntlets is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 50 coins, which is 790 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
