The confliction gauntlets are the best-in-slot magic hands in Old School RuneScape, an upgraded tormented bracelet that requires 90 Hitpoints to wear. They give +20 magic attack and +7% magic damage, plus a passive that re-rolls accuracy on your next hit after a miss with one-handed magic. You craft them from a Mokhaiotl cloth (a rare drop from the Doom of Mokhaiotl), a tormented bracelet and 10,000 demon tears, and they trade on the GE for roughly 86M.
Equipment bonuses
The confliction gauntlets are built for one job: maximising magic. They offer +20 magic attack and a +7% magic damage bonus — the highest of any hands slot — alongside solid defences (+15 stab, +18 slash, +5 magic defence) and +2 Prayer.

All of this is gated behind 90 Hitpoints, with no other skill requirement to equip them; the +7% magic damage and the accuracy passive are what make them the magic BiS hands.

How to get the confliction gauntlets
The confliction gauntlets are not a direct drop — you make them yourself. The recipe needs level 83 Crafting and level 70 Smithing (both boostable) and must be done while standing in a bank area. Combining the parts is not reversible.
- Tormented bracelet — the base item the gauntlets upgrade from.
- Mokhaiotl cloth — a rare, untradeable drop from the Doom of Mokhaiotl.
- 10,000 demon tears — also gathered from the Doom of Mokhaiotl.
Because the Mokhaiotl cloth and the demon tears both come from the Doom of Mokhaiotl, the gauntlets are really earned by farming that boss. The finished gauntlets are tradeable, so if you'd rather skip the grind you can buy them outright on the Grand Exchange for around 86M.
Passive effect explained
Instead of a special attack, the confliction gauntlets carry a passive effect. When a magic attack misses, your next magic attack from that same weapon or spell against the same enemy rolls accuracy twice — giving you a second chance to land the hit.
Two limits matter:
- It only works with one-handed magic weapons. If you equip a two-handed weapon the passive is disabled — so it does not benefit the Tumeken's shadow.
- On multi-target spells like Ice Barrage, the double roll only applies to the primary target; secondary targets roll once as normal.
The benefit scales with how often you miss: it does almost nothing when your base accuracy is 95%+, but adds roughly +30% hit chance when your base accuracy is under 10%. In practice it shines against high-defence magic targets where misses are common.
Are the confliction gauntlets worth it?
If you cast magic seriously, yes — they are the best magic gloves in the game. Compared to the tormented bracelet they were built from, the gauntlets add +10 magic attack, some defensive bonuses, and a +2% magic damage bonus (bringing the total to +7% magic damage), on top of the accuracy passive.
The catch is the 90 Hitpoints requirement and the ~86M price (or the Doom of Mokhaiotl grind to craft them). For an endgame mage clearing raids and high-level bosses they're a clear upgrade; if you're not yet stacking magic damage gear elsewhere, the tormented bracelet stays a strong, cheaper stand-in. Pair them with the rest of your magic gear and check the boss gear finder to see where they fit your setup.
Confliction gauntlets FAQ
What level do you need for confliction gauntlets?
You need 90 Hitpoints to wear them. There is no other equip requirement. To craft them yourself you also need 83 Crafting and 70 Smithing (both can be boosted).
How do you get confliction gauntlets?
They aren't a direct drop. You combine a tormented bracelet, a Mokhaiotl cloth and 10,000 demon tears at a bank. The Mokhaiotl cloth is a rare untradeable drop from the Doom of Mokhaiotl, and the demon tears come from the same boss. The finished gauntlets are also tradeable on the Grand Exchange.
Are confliction gauntlets best in slot for magic?
Yes. They give the highest hands-slot magic damage bonus in the game at +7%, plus +20 magic attack, making them best-in-slot magic hands.
What is the confliction gauntlets passive effect?
After a magic attack misses, your next magic attack from that weapon or spell against the same target rolls accuracy twice. It only works with one-handed magic weapons (disabled with two-handed weapons like the Tumeken's shadow), and on multi-target spells it only applies to the primary target.
Do confliction gauntlets work with Tumeken's shadow?
No. The accuracy passive is disabled when you use a two-handed weapon, and the Tumeken's shadow is two-handed. You still get the +20 magic attack and +7% magic damage, but not the re-roll.
How much are confliction gauntlets worth?
They trade for roughly 86M on the Grand Exchange. The live price and history are shown above. Their high alch value is 240K.
Are confliction gauntlets better than the tormented bracelet?
Yes. Over the tormented bracelet they add +10 magic attack, extra defensive bonuses, a +2% magic damage bonus, and the accuracy passive — a straight upgrade for magic combat if you can meet the 90 Hitpoints requirement.
