Rune Shield Description

Rune Shield is a tier 8 shield, unlocked by discovering Rune Bar and Black Dragon Leather, crafted at the Blacksmith's Bench with 10 Rune Bar, 4 Black Dragon Leather and 2 Draconic Vis Wax. A rune shield forged to endure punishment that would leave lesser metal in pieces.

Lore

Nobody likes a meeting with their manager, and nowhere is that truer than in Kuldra's Tower. Kuldra would summon her troops to her chamber, and those troops would do their best to look attentive while cowering behind their shields. An onlooker might have enjoyed how the troops would poke their heads above when Kuldra's mouths were closed, and then duck behind when they were open.

Kuldra was too wise to miss this pattern. She would often treat herself, opening her mouths in sequence. She would enjoy how much her troops looked like moles, poking their heads in and out of their holes.

How to Unlock Rune Shield

In order to unlock the Rune Shield, you need to discover Rune Bar and Black Dragon Leather.
