How is this possible?

This happened a while ago, but I've been too lazy to post it until now. This person traded an interesting shield and was trying to charge me to tell me how to get one. How is this possible? Where did she get it? Is it rare? Any info on this shield would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here's the shield

It's probably a promotional item from a different region. This shield will probably remain relatively secret, like the King Adelburn shield.

It must be a promotional shield, as shields cannot normally be customized. Interesting item, nonetheless..

This is one of the shields you get when you bring a non-Elonian character to Kamadan and recruit Koss. This shows in your inventory and can be swapped for the zero requirements shield he starts out with.

It has been upgraded with a +29 health shield handle.

prob got it off of ebay.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks villager.

Now could you explain the King Adelbern Shield now?

Here is the thread about the King Adelbern shield:
