A pair of harmonium gauntlets is a type of gloves that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It has a base material of metal, and appears as a red-lacquered hooked gauntlets when unidentified.

Generation

Harmonium gauntlets are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for or found in bones.

Some monsters are generated with harmonium gauntlets when they are created while inside the Law Quest:

  • Captains are always generated with a harmonium pair of gauntlets.
  • Lieutenants are always generated with a pair of harmonium gauntlets.
  • Sergeants are always generated with a pair of harmonium gauntlets.
  • Soldiers are always generated with a pair of harmonium gauntlets.

Oona can be paid to smithing a platinum pair of harmonium gauntlets if she is peaceful, or for free if she is tame. The gauntlets can be attuned to one of three elements — ice, fire, and electricity. The resulting pair of harmonium gauntlets will be blessed, have an enchantment of +0, and grant resistance against the attuned element, as well as obtaining the appropriate minor elemental object property: forge-hot, crystalline and arcing, respectively.

A hero with skill in smithing cannot make harmonium gauntlets.

Description

While worn, a pair of harmonium gauntlets grants 1 base AC, 4 DR, and wearing or removing a pair of harmonium gauntlets takes 2 actions. As harmonium armor, harmonium gauntlets gain +1 DR against attacks made by Neutral monsters and +2 DR against those made by Chaotic monsters. Firing a projectile from a launcher while wearing harmonium gauntlets incurs a -2 to-hit penalty.
