item question

Hi,i was farming Nahpui Quarter and i had a req9 strength celestial shield gold drop...when i identified it it had -5(19 chance) only...I wanted to put a +28 hp to make it "look" better and i couldnt...I am not sure why...Can someone please tell me?thanks in advance

28 may have been from a paragon shield? I think they're different, cos I had this once... then i added it to my para shield and it worked...

no cause the +28hp i took was from a previous Lion Shield (req 10 strength) that i was about to fix SOME day...any other opinions?

The Hp mods are the same for an shield but you can only upgrade shields that drop in Nightfall, Hall of Heros and the chest at the end of The Deep / Urgoz.

Shields from anywhere else in Cantha and Tyria can't be upgraded.

oh ok...that makes my shield "crappy"...thank you very much guyz

If you feel lucky and are patient, hold on to that shield. ANet changed inscriptions on all armors recently, so there's always hope that they might do the same for weapons/shields too someday.
