I hope this is the right place to put this question.
I can't seem to find information about this, or a table... or anything.
If someone has a link, i would be very appreciative.

I want to know what the max armor on a shield per q is, like,
A q5 shield and have how much armor maximum? and q6, etc...

Thanks.

as low as q7s have max armor which is 16, after that there are no maxed shields for any reqs below 7. not sure about the rest though.

I haven't seen much info on this anywhere either, but I am 95% certain that the max armor on a NO req shield is 8. I've also seen req 6's with 14-15 AR, but they're pretty likely to be overlooked. Most people will see that an item is not maxed and then discard/merch it.

No if you have 14 tactics on a q7 shield with 15 armor you wont get 30 armor. There's been so many threads on this (also for swords and damage, it's basicly the same thing)...

Think he is asking what the max armor a shield can have if it has a certain requirement. Not what the lowest requirement is for a shield to have the 16AL.

So a shield with a req of 0 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 1 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 2 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 3 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 4 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 5 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 6 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 7 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 8 has a max AL of?
So a shield with a req of 9 has a max AL of?

7 and up is 16, but I'm not sure about 6 and under.

Max armor on a req 0 shield is 8. This shield may also have a slight (-2) conditional dmg reduction. Max on a q7 is 16. Dunno the rest, never paid much attention.

I believe it pretty much goes like this (leaving out the old req7 armor 16 shields)
req8-13 armor 16
req7 armor 15
req6 armor 14
req5 armor 13
req4 armor 12
req3 armor 11
req2 armor 10
req1 armor 9
req0 armor 8

It's just an assumption, but it sounds right ^^

And please use req not Q... that just sounds and looks ridiculous.

I know the max for a req 6 shield is at least 14, as I've owned one in the past.

^ looks to be very acurate. You can find the odd 0 Req shield with 8 armor and an inscription slot, these are very usefull for casters. You can add a +30hp mod and a +10 armor vs X to make this a handy item to swap to in a pinch.

fail troll is fail, hes not asking about the damage in ration to how much you put in the attribute, just what the max is for each req.

This seems accurate for the shields that drop nowadays, I've seen most of them ingame.

One thing I wasn't paying attention to in the old times - nonmax shields.

So I'm interested in whether there were req.6 armor15 possible before they did that +1 on the high end of the formula. And if someone has kept even one of those.
