Is there a way to get a perfect collector gothic shield in the game?

Runner Of Fate · May 30, 2006, 08:15 PM // 20:15

Well, from what I know all collectors shields have the main game skin, like the Tyria one is a Crimson Carapace Shield..I don't think Gothic is the Cantha one. Just trying to help

from what iv seen, cantha collectors are all bronze shields

Batou of Nine · May 30, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Umm, well according to Guildwiki. all the Cantha collectors listed so far have Wooden Bucklers. That crappy Tyrian shield skin. UGH!

So how can i get a perfect gothic shield then? What would be perfect stats and bonuses to have?

DeanBB · May 30, 2006, 10:03 PM // 22:03

Shield bonuses are maxed when "while in stance", "while hexed" and "while enchanted", providing damage absorption and health.

There are other options, like a XX% chance of reduced damage, XX% chance of +1 to a skill, etc.

So "perfect" = the one that best fits your build.

Look them up on guildwiki.

"perfect" is usually:
-2 (In stance or Enchanted)
+30 HP always.

Also popular:
-2 (In Stance)
-2 (Enchanted)

And:
-2 (In stance or Enchanted)
+45 HP (In stance or Enchanted)

Other Sheilds that are specific to the needs:
-3 (While Hexed)
+60HP (While Hexed)

And:
-5 (20% chance)
+30 Always

---------------

A shield is only really worth ANYTHING if its one of those combinations and has a low req. You can pick up a slightly imperfect (like +29 health) version for ALOT less than a perfect version. Also note none of the Condition Duration reducing mods or Skill+1 mods are worth much on the "perfects" market, but there are specific buyers for them.

All in All I can suggest to you that you find someone selling a Gothic Shield that either has these stats and a HUGE req or a low req and almost these stats. This is the only way you won't break your bank buying it.

Any non-crafter/non-collector shield with nice skins and stats cost a lot. Will Guildwars ever have shield mods?
