They no longer appear as applying the boost when hovering over a piece of the equipped blacksmith outfit and confirmed do not give the exp boost when smithing like they used to. Tried switching to other style gauntlets and back, as well as destroying and reclaiming them, but that has not fixed the issue. Wiki still states that they provide this boost.
External link →Isn't it the other way around? Wearing the set gloves gives the smelting boost if you own them? I may be misremembering.
That may be the case if you own the blacksmith gloves, I can’t attest to that as I do not currently own them. But, the smelting gloves did used to give the xp boost of blacksmith gloves without the ownership of blacksmith gloves. I thought maybe I was just misremembering cause it had been a few months since I was doing any smithing, but the wiki does state they “grant the wearer the same 1% experience boost as the blacksmith’s gloves, and also count towards the set bonus even if the blacksmith’s gloves are not owned”, so I was unsure if this had changed in a recent update.
AFAIK no changes have been made to this since the M&S rework.
