First lvl 50 shield?

Hi, I'm sorry if this is addressed somewhere but I could not find it. My good friend is a tank and using a lvl 48 shield and we cant seem to fin a better one. Where isthe first 50 shield dropped/crafted from and any other ones we should try to get? Thank you for your time.

The white lvl 48 kite shield you can buy off the market is good enough till you get your relic honestly. The Scorpion shield will also last you till your relic, I forget which dungeon that drops in, it can also be purchased on the market. But if you want, you can get the Darklight Shield from the Tonberry King in WP.

Thank you for your fast response, he is only a titan kill from his relic but til then might as well run Tonberry for our cap to upgrade his shield thank you very much.

Wish yall the best of luck on Titan!

Scorpion Shield drops from Dzemael Darkhold. I used it till I got my Relic.

But with the amount of people running WP now, it might be a good idea to run that for your tomes, and the Darklight Kite Shield, which is heaps better than the Scorpion Shield.

I used the shield from Aurume Vale (i49) until relic. Naturally I've seen the WP drop 100% of the time since getting the relic, lol.

Really though the white shield mentioned prior is enough.

Bladed Lantern Shield, HQ version. best shield you'll get until titan/relic. Kite shield have high damage reduction but super low block chance. Where as the lantern shield has super high block chance but not as much damage blocked. but overall you will be blocking more often,therefore blocking more damage than with a kite shield.

While a high block rate looks attractive its less desirable than higher block strength. We get a CD that increases our block % dramatically, you get far more mileage out of that CD with a higher block str. In any situation where you need to mitigate enough to require consideration that CD will more than make up for a VERY slight difference in block consistency everywhere else.

Regardless, spending gil on a crafted shield isn't a good idea. Its just not necessary.

I've done WP nearly 50 times trying to get the shield, won't drop for me.

Will be doing titan this week, have no doubt the moment I get my relic the darklight shield will start dropping constantly.

Have 2 as a WAR, one sitting on my retainer the other stuck in my bags.

I have been using the lvl 44 ilvl46 Grand Company Shield its one of the high block rate low strength ones. I hate it and it sucks, but after 25-30 WP runs, no Darklight Kite Shield. But my FC is currently whittling Titan down, this should be our final push to beat him up : D

Keep trying, it will drop.

While doing my relic quest, I kept running WP over and over to hopefully get the shield drop there. Never once saw it by the time I got my relic shield. Now, of course, I see the WP shield drop ALL THE TIME.

To answer your question, I completed my relic quest with my GC shield.

I got the shield for WP thats top rated then its the relic shield.

got wp shield first run.

proceeded to use that until i somehow lolgreeded wall of crags from titan and used that until i got relic.

I've seen wall of crags drop several times oddly enough, lol. I find it silly that Titan drops weapons at all considering that he's "basically" the last step in the relic quest. Imho he should drop a cool helm or something. Perhaps something to supplement the classes that only have one Darklight ring worth buying instead of buying Hero's.
