Onion Shield...

The best thing in 2.1

This looks so awesome.

WHERE DO I GET THIS. SERIOUSLY.

I was pretty excited to see that also.

since it's ilevel 90 i'm going to assume it's the counterpart to the extreme mode primal weapon

Wait a second... the DRG is getting the Onion set... whats up with this shield...?

It's actually really good, better than Holy Shield Zenith I think, perhaps even Allagan Round Shield. I'm glad there is finally a shield that doesn't have the same Block Rate and Strength, we need more small shields and tower shields.

This might be the Extreme Primal weapon (where you get Break Blade + this)

If so, this will be my first. I don't even want the sword, just the shield.

It's from the extreme primal fights. Too bad the sword is crap! Although I'm glad they have given WAR a decent axe before Allagan!

It's weird that Onion equipment is LNC/DRG Crystal Tower gear, yet this shield exists. Maybe this heralds a Tank Lancer class! *dodges potential bricks*

judging by the quest rewards, it looks like you'll be able to get 3 weapons when finishing the quest

I'm still sitting around with Curtana + Holy Shield. The way I see it is that I think getting Break Blade + Onion Shield will be a worthwhile upgrade until Allagan Blade.

This shield alone is good enough for me. It's.. just amazing.

Since it's called Onion it makes me think that it will be a drop from Crystal Tower as they were the strongest equipment for the strongest job in FFIII, but it's IL90. Maybe Crystal Tower can drop a some IL90 shields?
What about the mage shields (Ancient Buckler etc)? Maybe from CT as well
