Desirability
Obviously, Delatra's gloves[1] are only useful when you have not identified many potions or scrolls. As such, these gloves tend to spawn very early game. Having numerous sources of guaranteed heal wounds can bail you out of many situations in the early game, but that doesn't stop the effects of potentially harmful potions like lignification and mutation. MP recovery is slightly less desirable, though it will still help any casters in need of an MP boost.
Past the very early game, it is generally more useful to have a plethora of identified escape items than to take advantage of these gloves.
