Shields

A Shield is a PROTECTIVE piece of equipment that occupies the off-hand slot. A shield adds extensive bonuses that can add to the defensive and prayer stats when wielded. However, shields hinder the ability to use any form of two-handed weaponry. Most shields require at least a specific defence in order to equip them.

Shields come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from Wooden shield shield to Chaotic kiteshield/Blessed Spirit shields. There are two different types of shields that a player can make from smithing metal bars, Kiteshields and Square shields.

Most shields are fairly simple to get, whether it being made or from drops, there is always a way to receive any type of shield.

Shields such as Blessed spirit shields can be obtained by either Voting or doing the skill Dungeoneering.
