The revenge--or is it profit?--seeking Bathary Boy, StraightEdgedJohn, sent out a server-wide offer about an old version of his "Pugilist's Gloves"; it appears that he still has a pair from the old mold that was later deemed too dangerous, and banned by the Machines. It seems that desire for a quick profit--in the form of some unorthodox items--has inspired John to risk trade sanctions on his Gracy Heights turf.

Competition proved fierce, but after the expiration of his initial time limit, and a boot by the Machines, nobody had yet met his terms, and John took his wheeling and dealing offline. Apparently, if you reside on his server, you can still attempt to win the gloves by mailing him a text list of the six items he requires. Word has it that nobody has yet guessed all six items correctly.

   Sweet.  I wondered when you were going to use gang related collectors, Rarebit.

   Now I'm wondering when you're going to use the "signpost NPCs".  I think that's the term.  You know, the NPCs with the exclamation points over their heads who stand near the original "newbie hardlines".  Character's like Stick, A.J, Kade, Agent Burke, etc.

I've referred to one of the Camon signposts in a mission. I think that's it so far.

I hate those spinny "i" symbols over their heads. :p

   Ooh, cool.  I'll have to look for that.  But my comment was more about using them in a live event than in a mission.  It's cool that you've used one already.

Mhm.. those gloves could be interesting.

((Only available on Vector? That would be too bad you know :-/

The currently available Pugilits Gloves do:
Melee Damage Bonus (2%)
(50% Chance) Ballistic Damage 20pts: 30secs
Min Level 15

I can't see much difference there. May it be that the damage of these "old" gloves is a relative damage like firearms skill? Meaning that not 20 pts will be applied but in addition the bonus from ball dam %, etc.?

And, I figured out 4 of 6.
I can't seem to find any item which is related to the hadron with a zero baryon number (yeah I know these ^^).
Fifth bolt from the blue. No idea.

which version did you try?  the regular or the heavy version, or both? i was thinking it would be the heavy version judging by the clue, but if neither worked than im at a loss on that one too, lol.

Its neat to see LEs included lesser known characters, and be more fun than plot-driving. Perhaps that's why so many of the Effectuator's events were so popular.

Now, the real question is, can I email vector-hostile.StraightEdgedJohn and have a chance at those gloves on Recursion or Syntax? Or would I have been able to during the event?
