Brawling gloves are members-only drops from Revenants, the Chaos Elemental, and the Wilderness shared loot table. They can also be received by participating in Wilderness Flash Events. They were released on 15 October 2008, along with PvP worlds.
When wearing the gloves, players receive a 50% boost to experience gained in the corresponding skill for a total of 1.5 times the normal experience. Upgrading the Infernal Puzzle Box to tier 4 gives an additional 25% experience boost to all brawling gloves, for a total of 75% additional experience. The gloves are not affected by Double XP events, the Enlightenment aura, or wearing a demonic skull.
Non-combat gloves disintegrate after a set amount of charges have been used. For example, Smithing brawling gloves are destroyed after 434 items made, with other brawling gloves having different amounts of charges. Combat gloves use charges based on experience gained. Multiple brawling gloves of the same type may be combined into a single item, up to a maximum of one million charges.
Casting High Level Alchemy on brawling gloves will give 30,000 coins regardless of remaining charges. Therefore, it is common to do this when the brawling gloves have one charge remaining.
