Those are pretty darn nice. Same # of charges as the attuned things from Night at the Academy?

One comment on those non-rechargeable items: they seem to run out of charges pretty quickly, even for those of us who are meticulous about removing our enhancives at the end of every hunt and not putting them back on until immediately prior to the next hunt.

The padding on the helmet is permanent.
The enhancive properties are rather large and are not rechargeable.
The enhancive attunes.

So, once the enhancive runs dry, you've still got a heavily padded helmet.

Sorry guys, my bad :(

Great bonuses, but I think people would rather see something with maybe a ton more charges at the same bonus level, or maybe half the bonus but rechargeable.

I, personally, would never get something that would offer a transient benefit, even if it's a powerful one.

Having taken both the gloves and a runestaff as prizes, the items themselves are rather nice also due to the scripts. Heimer staff and the silver-sigil scripts on gloves (both are the profession based scripts for pures). Unsure if the simucoin purchase allows you to continue to use the enhancives once they're drained or not. I could see that one going either way.

I don't believe so, at least not according to the description. It states specifically that it only works on items that are rechargeable by normal means, i.e. the Adventurer's Guild. Having said that, I haven't actually tried it. But it seems the intent is that once drained, the enhancives are gone forever. I do like the "lockpicking" gloves even without enhancives. Nice scripts and a fun loresong. Sadly, they spoiled me rotten by actually making me a decent locksmith, for a while. Looks like I'll be returning to Black Swan Castle! :)
