Been out of the market for a long time, but the last time I checked, I believe Req 9 Com Amethyst Aegis was the most expensive. Don't know if that's still true though.

IronSheik · Aug 13, 2009, 05:53 PM // 17:53

Echovald imo, but seraphim is good with prices, so I'll go with his.

1. magmas shield - no matter what,even if there are insc versions of these,there is just one known shield with these stats in game,and prolly it wont ever be for sale - my guess 3000-3500e+ ,q8 -2/45st is ~2000e
just one known in game with q8(and stats stated above) - that one was was paid 2500-3000e last time

I could be wrong but im pretty sure Akh has two req8 +30-2(stance).

Spil claimed he had one but i dont recall anyone ever having seen it.

Also, a req8 30-2(stance) Crude Shield was amazingly rare back then. Not sure if thats still the case.

Ye,crude.....extremly rare but not so wanted as the others
im not sure that akh has 2 of them,i can confirm just one

Yang Whirlwind · Aug 14, 2009, 09:09 AM // 09:09

I roughly agree with SeraphiM's estimates when we are talking "oldschool"/uninscribable shields - he really knows what he is talking about here!
I also agree that Draconic Aegis (req 9 str.) and of course Tormented Shields are the most expensive in the inscribable category

Raven Wing · Aug 14, 2009, 09:54 AM // 09:54

I can confirm amber aegis is in demand and rare. There are not many req13 shields you can get 100k for. The one i found had perf mods, so the buyer was happy, and maybe i could have got even more for it.

Pleikki · Aug 14, 2009, 12:33 PM // 12:33

Depending on stats, req, and skin, could possibly be any shield. by value. By drop rates. Rarests would be bladed, outcast and GotH/Amber..

But Any other skin with r7 and 30 5/20 would be worth more probably then any of those perf stats r9-10..

Excisting Rarest shields IMO, are r8 stre 30/-2st Bladed, Echovald And Magmas.

but yes, i'd say the faction shields would be the most rare, outcast, plagueborn, ornate, echovald, etc

NO! Please, DONT add single item on zchest anymore..

3.guardian of the hunt - i have never seen any q8 with any matched max stats, it has extremly rare drop rate,just like every other item from echovald forest...i guess it can go 2000e+ at least

ive seen 2-3 GotHs, Theres actually r8 tac 30/10ar blunt on PC right now..

Just to clarify, Draconic Aegis has never been recorded as dropping from the VSF Chest. Currently it's only known drops are at the Isle of the Nameless Chest, and the FoW End Chest.

jeffersons · Aug 14, 2009, 03:33 PM // 15:33

to sum up , in order of rarity, now that gwen and Zchest came out:

the rarest would be factions skins that can't be found as inscribables outside faction
so that means Outcast, echovald, bladed, amber, ornate, stamped, gothic and plagueborn

after that u can add that uninscribables version of eternal shield and guardian of the hunt would be rare also if very good stats.

then u got the inscribables but still uncommon ones , draconic aegis , amethyst, darkwing, enameled, demonic

all the others are semi rare or common ( unless uninscribales q8 or q9 perf or uncommon stats (for example the dual -2ench/-2stance mod is rare)

/Agree with SeraphiM on the original rare shields, can't really add more here.

But the rarest and most expensive of all inscribable shields is a Q8 Darkwing Defender, (q8 Enameled would be 2nd, other top insc skins don't have req8 versions).

Uhh you sure bout that? i havent said single thing bout insriables yet cus im not sure, example havent seen r8 gloom shield, eternal shield or magmas shield being sold in very gold time, you never know what those would fetch

Fallen SeraphiM · Aug 15, 2009, 07:48 AM // 07:48

magmas and eternal are only in blue versions,at least i saw few of them
yep,but there were few gold q8 glooms after release of eotn

Siadena · Aug 17, 2009, 04:37 AM // 04:37

Yup, factions sheilds that are not in the zaishen chests and only still come in uninsc from cantha alone hold the "rare" seat - most the time the most valuable too. Outcast, Ornates, Amber Aegis, Bladeds, etc... the best ons too!

Fallen SeraphiM · Aug 17, 2009, 07:10 AM // 07:10

oh,and ive mistaken about rarest q7 shield....i just remembered that there is q7str +10vs blunt/+30hp shadow shield
