Crestflame Shield is a bulky round shield for a Warrior tank who wins fights by parrying. Two of its enhancements are levels of Power Parry, so every clean parry fills an enemy's stun bar faster. The rest add cutting, piercing and blunt armour. A run of well-timed blocks can then leave a foe stunned and open. It suits the guardian style of the Crestflame Set, the tank armour that stands at the front of a group. The Blacksmith forges it from Flame level 9 with Smithing Tools placed close by. Its recipe has an unusual mix. Celestium Bars and Moonstone Dust sit beside Basalt, Fish Scales and Piscine Ivory Dust. Looted copies also wait in the Ancient stores of the Cinder's Cradle.

Lore

The bulky round shield looks as if a glowing energy core sits at its centre. It is built to make its bearer's defence far stronger. Energy cores powered the constructs of the Ancients, and the Archaic Cores they drop still hum faintly. The shield belongs with the Crestflame Set, the tank armour of the guardians of the Mother Flame. Its perks guard against cutting, piercing and blunt hits.
