Shield Appraisal

[mjc]

Hello,

What would be the value on a 9x Knights Shield (Medium) Normal weight

And a Adamantine tower shield max light. (Disarm flares and base enchant)

Thanks

No clue what they are worth... but depending on what the estimates come in at I might be interested in the shield.

which shield

[Vorpodu]

guess it might be important to add that adamantine has a chance to break non-magical weapons when they strike it, too. not sure if it works though honestly cause it goes by str/du and that kind of breakage isnt implemented? ive never seen it in action cause of how rare it is. is that the only adamantine tower shield there is?

Nope. I've seen at least 3 released, probably a couple others out.

Having owned two pieces, I can tell you it works. Breakage doesn't need to be implemented for the script to read the breakage numbers that still come with gear.

I'd ballpark in the 30m range for the adamantite and 20-25ish for the other?

Thats good to know on both counts thanks Talman, and yes it does break non magic weapons. My personal favorite is watching ot break arrows, just looks very cool to see but yes it will break any non magical weapon. Most useful in invasions.

Before I post them does anyone have any interest in either?

Realistically, the more important function of using adamantine is for the chance to disarm an attacker (which is also based on clash STR/DUR vs. the adamantine), which occurs a lot more than the breaking of an attackers weapon.

edit: I also think Talman's adamantine appraisal is appropriate.

Oh I agree disarming weapons is more useful, I was just commenting that I liked how it looked when it shattered arrows. Always seemed like a cool image to me.

Yeah, shattering something's weapon is pretty much win. I just pointed out the disarming so anyone unfamiliar with the metal didn't just think shattering was all it did.
