Gameplay Tips

Temper them at a workbench with one Refined Moonstone. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
Their 7 armor equals Leather Bracers, one less than Elven Gauntlets.

Smithing Guide

Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Upgrades

An Elven Light Gauntlets is improved at a workbench with one Refined Moonstone per improvement. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
