They are used in Heroes Quest to pick up the Entrana firebird's fire feather, and have uses in other quests, such as the Clock Tower, Desert Treasure, Watchtower Quest, and Recipe for Disaster quests as well as fighting the quest boss Flambeed in the Dominion Tower. The Ice gloves can be re-obtained as many times as the player wishes. In case of mishaps (Death, accidental Alching, and so on), it is suggested that the player obtain more than one pair of Ice gloves. You do not need to start the quest to get Ice Gloves, which is commonly done by pures.
