Items: Spruce Round Shield

[Mayrissa]

Hello,

So I got the lovely WHM Wand from Garuda Hard the other day and I've been at a bit of a loss as to what to use as Shield. Currently I have the lv46 one from Grand Company seals but it's not ideal.

The only alternatives I can find are the ones from The Wanderer's Palace or the crafted Spruce Round Shield. The crafted one seems a bit.. off... in regards to all the other crafted pieces (such as Vanya)

Mostly:

- 9 Coke
- 9 Hardened Sap

That's a grand total of 2,250 Tomes of Philosophy to get compared to the 1,125 most of the other crafted pieces need.

Is this intentional? It seems a bit extreme for something that will eventually get replaced by the Relic staff and the shieldn itself is a very situational item as I believe both Ifrit and Titan drop staves? I actually sort of feel punished for using the wand in lieu of a staff.
