Earth Scroll -- +12 energy, +45 health (when enchanted), -2 received damage (when enchanted)

No need to carry a shield any more.

You still miss out on the 8 armor.

S_Serpent · Nov 24, 2006, 08:57 AM // 08:57

but you get the extra energy instead, so it all depends on you personal likings

I prefer the extra armor option. Helps you live a little longer to keep on casting or spamming heal party.

Francis Crawford · Nov 24, 2006, 11:32 PM // 23:32

I thought the armor was dependent on a Tactics requirement you don't meet anyway.

jesh · Nov 25, 2006, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Notice I said 8. You get half benefit if you don't meet the requirement. Of course a shield won't give you 12 energy, I thought that was obvious enough not to say. ~.~

You actually get half? I guessed it was less. I don't have enough experience as a warrior to have an informed guess ...

half, or equivilent to starter... (the later happens more i think)

The mods are still in effect even though you don't meet the requirement, like the +30 hp or -2 while enchanted. That's why you see a lot of Mo/As running around with shields.

That was never in doubt, from where I sit.

The only question is how much AL you get from the shield if you don't meet the req.

It's 8 armor.

Originally, green and collector shields would give you (I think) 3 armor, while gold shields (I know) gave you 8. They changed it in an update, which is why I have like 3 green shields on my ele (eles can have low energy sets too!)
