How to Craft

Crafted at Forge, station level 3.
Costs 15x Finewood, 10x Black metal, 7x Chain at quality 1.
Materials can be found in the Plains biome.

When to Use It

Mid game. Black Metal drops from Fuling in the Plains, which is well past Moder.

Upgrades

Upgraded 3 times after crafting, each level wanting the station built one step further up than the last. Every figure quoted elsewhere on this wiki is quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy is somewhere on:

Quality	Crafting Station	Block armor	Durability	Resources
1	Forge (Level 3)	104	200	15x Finewood 10x Black metal 7x Chain
2	Forge (Level 4)	110	250	10x Finewood 4x Black metal 2x Chain
3	Forge (Level 5)	116	300	20x Finewood 8x Black metal 4x Chain
4	Forge (Level 6)	-	-	45x Finewood 22x Black metal 13x Chain

Properties

104 armour and 150 block force. The most block force in the game outside the Ashlands, which means a Fuling Berserker rebounds off you rather than continuing its combo.

A tower shield cannot parry. It costs 10% of your movement speed while drawn and raises the cost of a dodge roll by the same 10%, and in exchange it blocks harder than anything else in its tier. What you give up is the parry, which staggers the attacker into taking double damage.

Notes

The design and colour are chosen with the style button at the crafting bench, and cannot be changed once the shield is made.
