They are dropped by the OSRS GP Ice Queen that resides in White Wolf Mountain. Even though she is a part of Heroes Quest you do not require to start or complete it to get to her. You only need to be at an experience level of 50 in the Mining skill to get through some rocks on the mountain. Ice Gloves are very useful for many different situations, especially in quests, but their the most crucial role is at Blast Furnace.

When wearing Ice Gloves, players can take hot bars, without cooling them before using buckets of water. This is a great way to increase rates of gold and exp for Blast Furnace. With additional inventory slots you can carry more bars in the same space and you don't waste time in using buckets. If you ever get rid of Ice Gloves they can be easily retrieved using the same method you acquired them. Ice Queen is a simple enemy to kill and drop chances are always 100%.

I have included it in this list since it's a very useful item but you need 99 smithing to get it. Smithing Cape comes with two valuable benefits. Firstly we have 9 additional slots to a Coal Bag which is an excellent addition to this already useful item. On the other hand we offer the perk of Goldsmithing Gauntlets while you are wearing a cape. This is particularly useful when making gold bars in the Blast Furnace as you will be able to use Ice Gloves and not worry about losing the Goldsmithing perk. It gives you a nice boost to gold made.

Take note that Smithing ability requires lots of buy 2007 runescape gold running. In the course of training, you'll be visiting many places like Port Phasmatys, Ardougne, Lumbridge, Falador, Al Kharid, Wilderness so getting items that aid in the process (eg. Graceful Outfit) may reward you with higher xp/hour.
