Raise your shields!

[Talad]

[News taken from main site]

Dear Planeshifters, as of today shields  are finally working!

You've been feared by the sticks those Cutthroats tried to hit you with or were afraid being touched by those wiggly legs of a Consumer?
Fear no longer! Learn how to use one of the many shields out there and they'll no longer get through to you.

Hurry up and visit your local crafter today to get one of those great pieces, who knows how long it'll take till they're sold out?

And don't forget to prepare yourself with your favourite training partner for new challenges. Who'll win? The blasting youngster rageing with his pair of axes or the clever master who knows how to block his uncoordinated strikes while still landing critical hits?

The cutthroats are sweethearts, but now I fear them not! Thank you for these shields, now I can totally beat Kull up and it WILL work with a shield this time!

[LigH]

I believe Talad referred to the shady guys on top of the Cutthroats Bane in the middle of BDRoad1 (which, BTW, still has wrong textures) -- the followers of Ukabnu, not of Kull.



Note that hooded fellow at the left top...

Can I buy one with all of my 2 tria?

[bloodedIrishman]

I'm so famous the creator of the game uses me as a reference for fear. Not surprising at all in fact. 

[RlyDontKnow]

it's a reference to the NPCs or generally cutthroats, not to anyone specific

So the efforts my alt made to reach shieldmaking level 59 were not wasted

Now all we need is some more specific display of weapon stats, such that people will know what all those different types of fancy shields are good for and how they differ.

Isn't his guild meant to be a part of the npc cutthroats?

[weltall]

[Vakachehk]

Well there's a few things I am wondering.

Are shields based on the training of Shield Handling or Armor training?
Are shields now repairable, under repair armors or repair shields?

I am soooooo happy I have a 300Q Golden Shield If anyone would like to touch my shield thy would have to speak with a GM first 

I think what Talad was meaning NPCs. In my own opinion, and please take no offence in the matter, I hate ranks or guild names taken after an NPC, it to me sounds like they play to much PS or either cant think of anything else to name it.
Rogue is fine. Dark Rogue isn't, maybe Knights Rogue or something else.

[Caraick]

* Caraick saw a shield in action today, and has never seen so many blocked hits..... 

[weltall]

what's so weird about 300q shields you just need decent crafters

[Earowo]

Shields is great and all, but why does it Max at Level 19?
