=== Reinforced Round Shield (with plain or coloured leather) === <!--T:8-->
=== Wood Metal Shield === <!--T:8-->
Adding leather to the Reinforced Shield will give it more durability. There is an alternative version using black and orange coloured leather instead of plain leather for a different look, however the stats remain the same.
The appearance and shield stats depend on the type of '''wood''' and '''metal''' used, see [[Shield#Durability_Gains|Durability gains table]] for details.
Disregarding the Blackguard exclusive shield, this is the best option that can be crafted regardless of player [[classes|class]].
