Vambrace

The Vambrace is a Glove-class piece of armor found in  and.

In
In Golden Sun, it is found in a treasure chest in the small, optional dungeon Vault Cave, which is accessible as soon as you pass through Lamakan Desert. When it can first be found, the Vambrace is a good addition to the party's inventory. It is extremely similar to the Battle Gloves which can be found later in the game as a random prize in Tolbi Spring for a Lucky Medal, because the Battle Gloves features 26 defense and 8 additional attack. If the player receives the Battle Gloves after getting the Vambrace, one should be chosen over the other for equipping, with the other being sold for money. Alternatively, the player could retain both and equip them on two different characters. Both of these gloves have a superior, later counterpart in the War Gloves that can be bought in Lalivero.

In
In Dark Dawn, it is found by examining the Warrior Statue that is in the Scorpio Room in Craggy Peak Ruins. In Dark Dawn, the Vambrace is a good addition to any Adept's inventory when first found. The choice of Adept largely depends on player preferences, as all of them benefit in some way from the Attack increase. Later on, however, the Vambrace is outclassed by the War Gloves, which are sold in Saha Town. It is still worth keeping the Vambrace around, however; when Sveta joins the party in the Belinsk Ruins, the Vambrace is an automatic upgrade from the Gauntlets she starts with.

Etymology
A vambrace is a piece of plate armor that was used to protect the forearm and was often connected to gauntlets. They were often made out of boiled leather or steel and originated in early 14th century Europe.
