Making a second crafting shield

[Leo85]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a second crafting shield, but the quest will not initiate. I have a new craft at expert. Is this by design or am I not doing something correct?

[Leo85]

Can someone please clarify whether making a second crafting shield is possible?

According to BG Wiki, you cannot. The entry under escutcheons reads, emphasis added:

If you started the Escutcheon quest but wish to level a different craft, you must abandon the quest line. This prevents a player from having more than one shield.

"Speak with Mewk Chorosap and tell her you wish to give up. She will ask three times if you truly wish to give up. After confirming, she will tell you to throw away your shield.
Until you do these steps, you are not given the option to renounce your Artisan rank at your current craft. Furthermore, you will only be able to level your new craft to level 100
until these steps are taken."

However, you can create a new shield on mule.

Thanks--I did notice that. I'm wondering if a new shield can be made if the first one is dropped (not just to the recycle bin).

You specifically have to drop it as part of the process of starting over as described above. But don't do it until you're told to.

So can someone from SE answer me about whether I can start a new crafting shield by dropping my current completed one? I'd prefer to know the answer than to be the guinea pig in this case.

What other choice do you have? Lol. Obviously it has to be dropped.

So I served as the guinea pig. Unless I'm missing something blatantly obvious, you cannot start another crafting shield just by dropping your completed one. SE--Please confirm this and if it is true, please create a path for someone wishing to make a second shield.

Still waiting on a reply SE. Do you need a credit card number just to acknowledge my message?

if you want to talk to them you're going to have to go through support. You're not going to get a response here. You can get back the shield you tossed by the one time item restore but you have to contact a GM within a certain time frame of it happening.

But for the record:

""Speak with Mewk Chorosap and tell her you wish to give up. She will ask three times if you truly wish to give up. After confirming, she will tell you to throw away your shield."

An NPC interaction is required before tossing it. Did you do that?
