Templar shield

In the Templar guild smithy, Aldreda can create a shield for you. The shield is useable once you have 70% righteousness or more. The shield can be upgraded and imbued with bonuses.

You ask Aldreda about shield.

Aldreda says 'I am master shieldsmith of the guild. It is my duty to equip the soldiers of the faith with the shields to match their conviction. I can forge you a shield of unparallelled quality. The 'process' of shield forging can be time consuming but well worth the effort.' Aldreda says 'The shield is gift from our Maker, and as such it can be summoned only by those who has the required faith and high enough virtue of righteousness.'

You ask Aldreda about process.

Aldreda says 'Shield crafting is a time consuming process which includes two different aspects. Firstly one can increase the 'tier' of the shield by incorporating the shield with soul in remorse of certain wicked foes. Secondly one can try to craft 'powers' to shield, empowering it beyond your wildest dreams. I can craft your shield with 'new' power, 'remove' one of the existing ones or 'upgrade' the shields tier if you so wish.'

You ask Aldreda about power.

Aldreda says 'Shields can be empowered with powers via crafting. powers are attributes which the shield can hold and the bearer of the shield gains these attributes to themselves. For example shield can increase bearers wisdom or give bearer better ability to use congregation of virtue. Shield can only hold powers which are at the same tier than the shield. The most powerful and rares of powers can only be obtained with great chance to shields of legendary quality.'

You ask Aldreda about upgrade.

Aldreda says 'I need some materials from you before I can start working on your shield. Upgrading the shield to next tier is time consuming process as well as it is burden to your assets. I need the following materials in order to proceed with forging: Total of 200 mithril to please, ehrm.. Gods. Total of 10000 grams of bronze metal to add to shields structure. And one soul in remorse from tier 1 foe. '

You ask Aldreda about foes.

Aldreda says 'There are number of different foes which helps you progress your shield further and further. Through years of testing I have come to conclusion that at least foes named Listar and Satan has 'soul' powerful enough to be used in upgrading shield to uncommon quality. More powerful souls like of Moreods, Lears and Killusias can be used when upgrading to rare quality. Epic quality shield requires foe named Moratar Cain or Corruptor and final step is to provide soul in remorse of G'naa'Byeh, the fallen demon Emperor of the Twilight.'
