Just thought it'd be nice for non Chaos/Order guilds to be able to get a r/r shield from the 10000 fame reward. Like a r/r heater shield or something. :/
-edit- NO! an r/r BUCKLER shield with the same or close armor to chaos/order shield. It would be rediculously funny.

I agree. At some point let's get a neutral shield (which can be designed as either Chaos or Order) and make it slightly lower AR class.
Regards.

I know we discussed this in the past, not sure why we didn't get around to scripting it though.
I just added a neutral shield (heater shield).
It has slightly less armor than the chaos/order shield (30 instead of 32) and you must be in a neutral guild to use it. Other than that it has the same requirements, meaning you have to get 10k fame first.
Oh and the server has to be restarted before we can add them.

Q: Does the shield lose durability, and how hard is it to repair if it does?
Q: Do you have to stay at 10,000 fame to use it, or do you just have to hit 10,000 to 'unlock' it, then buy it whenever you want?

Why do order/chaos/neutral shields suck so bad, considering they cost 250k (and not 200k...)? For the pain in the ass to get 10k fame for weak ass armor, shouldn't they cost about 50k? For 250k, it should be colored, renamed, newbied, and 75 AR at GM parry.
Seriously, on IN1 and XUO weren't these shields free, because it's such a pain to get Lord status? ... make them cost 20-50k if they're going to be so weak.
Verite owns neutral shield :/ Shouldn't it be about the same armor class as Oceanic? Lame.

On XUO, you just bought them from a vendor if you were in a chaos/order guild. I think they were like 75k or so. (On sphere XUO)

Wait, it's not R/R/N? I thought that was the whole point of it.

Oh, I meant to emphasize "and", I should've bolded it. For 250k gold, I can make something like 36000 iron shields for ingots bought at 7gp, lol...
But R/R/N is pretty cool... just boost the armor.
Regards.
I think the armor is that way so that you have a penalty for being "safe", not sure though.

I'm not sure how you're safe. If you die in a dungeon... without regs, aids, etc you're basically boned getting out anyway. I think the issue is that normal AR class is boosted and is not supposed to be so high. Like I said before, and I imagine it was the same on XUO, order/chaos shields are supposed to be BAD ASS shields! They're not supposed to be some dinky tin meh armor.
Regards.
As I understood the issue the neutral shield has less armor than the order and chaos shields.
What I meant here by safe is that neutral guilds are relatively safe in towns, compared to order and chaos, that can be attacked at any time by the opposite guild.
