IIRC, the Kite Shield progression was Canopous Shield from Aurum Vale final boss, Darklight Kite Shield from Wanderer's Palace final boss, and then Titan's Shield (Shield of the Crags? I forget). For someone maining PLD though, no reason to not be getting relic shortly after Titan kill though. IMHO, Titan weapons are meant for someone's alt who does not want to do relic for it.
