Improved Bonemold Gauntlets are heavy armor gauntlets from Dragonborn and the upgraded form of Bonemold Gauntlets. They have a base armor rating of 13 and weigh 7. They come only from the forge, once Glover Mallory's Bonemold Formula is recovered.

Armor Enchantment

Any armor enchantment can be placed on an Improved Bonemold Gauntlets at an arcane enchanter.

Every armor enchantment is listed under Enchantment Effects.

Improved Bonemold Gauntlets Location

Any forge makes them. Forging them needs the Bonemold Formula, which is recovered for Glover Mallory during the quest Paid in Full.

Gameplay Tips

Temper them at a workbench with two Bone Meal. The Steel Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
Forge them with the Steel Smithing perk from 4 Bone Meal, 1 Netch Leather, 1 Iron Ingot, 1 Netch Jelly, 1 Stalhrim and 1 Void Salts.
Four Improved Bonemold pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.
