Hey all. Are they're any quests that give you a shield as a reward. Not talking about levequests but side quests.
Thanks in advance!

lol I funny 128 views sorry this makes 129 and no one knows. I guess these quests are still too new for shield rewards. Here's hoping 1.18 adds some proper shield rewards :D

Nop man, nor shield or weapons come from quests...only meds, armor, throwing weapons and ammo.

Aren't there any faction leves that have one as a reward? Tarnished hoplon or something like that. I can't remember for sure.

Some faction leves do indeed give equipment such as shields, though building up the faction points can be a pain, so I'd save them to the point of only using them if the rewards are kick-ass during that guildleve cycle.

Since you're r36, you can also consider getting into a party and killing some of the low level NMs that drop shields. Gluttonous Gertrude drops Shield of the Savage, and Slippery Sikes drops Thalassian Targe.
I can also confirm that some of the faction leves give shields as rewards, but they're usually the "Dented" type that need upgrading to Vintage (like the Notched Buckler).
Gotta admit it's great to see folks setting goals and making challenges for themselves. Have fun! -
07-16-2011, 10:14 PMBurneFinally someone gets it! But thanks dude. I'm logging back in today after a month long hiatus. Get myself reacquainted with the world and ready for hopefully new shield quests with the update lol If not I'll go for some dented equips for a later upgrade.Quote:

I was wondering the same... but if it's a faction leve then I have some researching to do, because I'm in need of an updated shield lol!

07-22-2011, 09:45 AMBurneHold that thought! Might be some new shield reward quests added tonight. I tried reading the patch notes but was too much to take in all at once (thats what she said) will read it again while I wait for this patch to finish dl'ing...Quote:

Well, you certainly can buy a Shield with Flame Seal, which is rewarded from Grand Company quest...

07-25-2011, 08:08 AMBurnehahaha thanks Mariyah! I did The Maelstrom quests up to Devices. I'll see if I have enough seals. Curious if every city has the same item list to buy from...i'm guessing no lolQuote:

a low level nm drops a shield. I think its the sheep looking one. You can find info on NM's and drops on ZAM.com
-
07-26-2011, 01:49 AMCatapultYou're thinking of Downy Dunstan, but he doesn't drop the shield. He drops the Loyalist's Bilaud, the R30 Conj/Thm attire.Quote:
