If the shield stats don't say "Inscription: <name>" or "Inscription: None", then it is not inscribable and you won't be able to change that stat.

Non-white shields and focuses that drop in Nightfall and EotN are inscribable and can be modified with shield handles or focus cores. Shields and focuses in Prophecies and Factions can not be modded and you are stuck with the built-in stats.

No. That shield, is, by definition, noninscribable (since it has two -x damage conditions, it must be a prophecies/factions shield). Items that say... "blah blah blah Inscrpition: "x"" have inscriptions.

If it's a tactics req shield, you might want to go over to the price check forum.

Yeah its non inscriptable and you cant make it that way. but go to PC forum and get a pricecheck on it. That is probably worth alot!
