Tables

How do you edit the tables? I've found several shields sold in stores not listed here, and would like to add them. Nemo 22:13, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

The tables are transcluded from other articles (e.g., Arena:Round Shields). You can edit them there, but you might find it tricky if this is your first time editing tables. You can leave the info here if you'd prefer someone else to edit them. --Legoless 22:21, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Effect of Shields on AR

I would like to be able to compare the effects of different shields not currently in my inventory.

For example, I currently have an Adamantium Kite Shield of Strength that confers -7 to AR for my left shoulder, chest, hands, and thighs, and I found a store that sells an Ebony Round Shield, and I would like to be able to predict exactly what effect that it will have before I purchase it.

I can do this for weapons and armor based on those articles, respectively, but this article does not give quite enough information on that.

UPDATE: The relevant information is contained in the game manual. Each progressive type of shield (buckler, round, kite, and tower) not only covers more parts, but also reduces AR by another point, so the Ebony Round Shield would reduce AR by 7, ((Round: 2) + (Ebony: 5)) the same amount as the Adamantium Kite Shield ((Kite: 3) + (Adamantium: 4)), but for fewer parts, since the round shield does not cover the thighs.

Maybe we could improve this page to include this information, like the way it is in the articles linked above. Agiar2000 (talk) 21:33, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
