54+ Shield?

[Zoren Northwood]

Anyone have a recommendation on a good kite shield in T6?  Is the imbued ironwood kite shield the way to go, for those of us who don't have a fabled shield yet? <div></div>

[RiotActer]

I'm still using my Kite Shield of the King at level 54.  I've read on these boards where Shield Factor isn't playing a part in avoidance. <div></div>

I have a Aegis of Altairenanhk, only one I have seen on my server.  It looks like a tower shield, which is cool.  It is also crusader only.  it is off a named mob that is NOT x2 or x4... so 4 to 6 people can kill the guy.  City Faction in Majdul instance. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://eq2images.station.sony.com/000/000/899/492.jpg"></DIV><p>Message Edited by RobleeS on <span class=date_text>10-17-2005</span> <span class=time_text>04:42 PM</span>

<DIV>I just got this today, pristine imbued ironwood kite shield.   Impressive stats, well suited to the Paladin, nice new look.   That will be my shield until I find one a lot better.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><U><FONT color=#0000ff><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=10&message.id=17648&jump=true" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=10&message.id=17648&jump=true</A></FONT></U></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[KenCoop]

i use the crimson rock targe out of scornfeather roost.  i'm not too good at cropping pics so just click on my link and you can see it.  easy drop in there (1 out of 5 or so for our guild), and way better than ironwood.

[Harbringer Doom]

I have aligned myself to Court of Truth, but I dont understand the instance zone you are talking about.  Can you explain a little more about how to get into the instance to hunt for this shield? Thanks <div></div>

[Sasaki Koji]

<P>Do the Court of Truth quests.</P> <P>I really hope they change the apearance to this to a Kite shield.. dont want to mistaken for some mindless warrior hehe</P>

[Meryddian]

Dang, that's <i>sweet. </i> Anybody know if there is something similar for those on the Coin faction? Although I had planned to <i>eventually</i> change factions, I hate to think that rewards like this kind of force people into going one way or another if they want to aim for specific goals. <div></div>

<P>You can get this one during a PP run..</P> <P><IMG src="http://www.malice-guild.com/images/ScreenShot_00018.JPG"></P> <DIV>and here's the Crimson Rock Targe.. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://zerovortex.net/images/eq2/crimson_rock_targe.jpg"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>These are the only 3x T6 Fabled Crusader Shields I know about..</DIV>

<DIV>Cant link here from work, blasted Websense!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways, and this may be the link Moribund posted that is being blocked, but I currently use:</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#800000 size=5><FONT size=4></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>Aegis of True Defense</DIV> <DIV>Sta:15 Str: 15 Agi: 17 Health:50 Power: 32 Shield Factor: 944</DIV> <DIV>Drops off of the Unique Creature in Poet's Palace</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Looks just like Crimson Rock targe</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For the benefit of those being punished by our companies paranoia, could someone post the stats on Valur's shield so I could see em?

<P>Bah I have websense too and I work at a friking public school. Not enough money to pay teachers but enough to have this service? And no flames about how i should be teaching and all belive me I am (mostly).</P> <P>How much are u finding the shields worthwhile in tradeoff with a nice 2 hander. I solo using a 2 hander and really havent used a shield since the high 30's low 40's. Sold it cuz I needed money and havent looked bak into it since. With the new t6 weapons are the one handers worth the drop in damage and the switch to a shield?</P> <P>Taragor (lvl 50 paly)</P> <p>Message Edited by Tara'sBane on <span class=date_text>11-16-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:12 PM</span>

<DIV>Woot.. Got it.. :smileyvery-happy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://www.malice-guild.com/phpbb/files/aegisofaltairenanhk_139.jpg"></DIV>

[Goejun]

<DIV>I love this shield...a lot. Time to improve my truth faction <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

[Anzak]

Is that a raid instance for Truth or just group? <div></div>

[reaper]

<DIV>Just a 6 man group instance.. It's the final quest after doing the Truth Faction.</DIV> <DIV>The lockout is 3x days.. but I think it was def. worth it.  :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[CycoDelic]

<P>Grats Moribund <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>Out of curiosity, whats the drop rate on that thing? Prolly gotten 10ish Master from that instance with no luck yet, but I am thinking you may have had a few more....</P>

[Anzak]

One more stupid question since I have not gotten that fair in the quest line.  Does everyone have to be truth to get in there? <div></div>

[reaper]

<DIV>Dude.. My luck with metal is bad compared to you.. LOL..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In my guild we decided on the Blades Faction.. but had other members complete</DIV> <DIV>different factions so we could farm the instances.  I started farming around Sept 24</DIV> <DIV>when I hit 60.. and I think I've been in each instance about 18x Times per.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've seen 2x Metals in the Truth instance since then.. One was for a pair of </DIV> <DIV>Brawler pants. and the 2nd droped my Shield.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've seen 4x Metals from Blades.. 1st for 2H Warrior Sword, 2nd for the "Legplates</DIV> <DIV>of Ro" and drop 3 & 4 were for my current HA greaves "Greaves of Paranoia"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've never seen a Metal from Coin as of yet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So in total I've run the 3x instances 54 times = 6 Metals</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not the best odds.. but I've gotten some good items all the same.  :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[Anzak]

Nice thanks for the Info. I'd love to see links on some of the other stuff you got in these instance sounds like a good place to farm. <div></div>
