Historian Gauntlets

Historian Gauntlets! +7, 6 AC, blue-glowing, piercing and bashing, ties on pickup, requires level 19 to equip.

There's no real "quest" steps required to acquire the Historian Gauntlets. They randomly drop off The.Historian, and tie on pickup. You must be level 19 to equip them (but you can put them in your belt/bag before level 19 and hang onto them until then).
