Which shield is the rarest?
MarIey
Just wondering which shield costs the most cos it's the rarest?
englitdaudelin
There are a couple: Eternal Shields, and Dragon Shields, I think.
A good eternal shield, gold, with a good inherent, NOT inscribable, is "rarer" than an inscribable dragon shield, I would guess.
Rarer than these, I don't know... my warrior gear knowledge is pretty thin.

What other shields are rare apart from Eternal Shields and Dragon Shields?

If you ask me, the rarest shield is something like the Amber Aegis - no Zaishen chest for this shield, and it only drops as uninscribable in the Echovald Forest, and after playing for over two years I've yet to see a single one drop. (Edit: single gold one. I've had a couple purples.)

You can spend a considerable amount of ectos on q7 max shields, even if the skin isn't "cool"

Dragon Shields?
Anything from factions that does not drop inscrip somewhere else. Mainly stufff from echovald+ low req old school stuff.

Magma's Shield + Echovald Shield. I think they're quite rare.
A echovald shield can reach 500e perfectly, depending on mods of course.

a gold, dual-modded echovald is damn rare....i did over 170 ferndale vanquishes for kurz faction and only saw 1 gold one drop (single-mod)...granted they only drop from mantis' in ferndale but there are plenty of those in >170 runs! I got 1 dual-modded amber aegis (q9 tac) out of a chest and managed to get 60k for it, but I think echovald would be worth much, much more.

Edit: to the poster below: I got several gold plagueborns from chests in Pongmei Valley (also other rare skins there like wolfhammer or morningstar like looking axe) Try there.

i've been lookin for an ornate shield for about 3 years now T__T (anet: please add them to zchest)
but yes, i'd say the faction shields would be the most rare, outcast, plagueborn, ornate, echovald, etc

Echovald imo, although if this 'dragon shield' exists then that is rarest lol as ive never seen or heard of it.
Fallen SeraphiM
quite interesting question...lets say that there are shields with q8str -2st/+30hpNON-INSC),i guess the order that ppl will pay the most for one of these would be:
1. magmas shield - no matter what,even if there are insc versions of these,there is just one known shield with these stats in game,and prolly it wont ever be for sale - my guess 3000-3500e+ ,q8 -2/45st is ~2000e
2. echovald shield - just q9 with those stats can fletch quite high amount,there is just one known in game with q8(and stats stated above) - that one was was paid 2500-3000e last time
3.guardian of the hunt - i have never seen any q8 with any matched max stats, it has extremly rare drop rate,just like every other item from echovald forest...i guess it can go 2000e+ at least
4. amber aegis - its very rare,and quite wanted,i dont remember that i saw any with those stats q8 or anything close to it(correct me if im wrong), estimate ~2000e
5. ornate shield-rare,wanted....~1500e+
others are just very rare and perfect versions costs 1000e+ (i dont say that they exist,its only if they WOULD exist,price on some of those is just rough estimate on their q8 -5/30 versions)
emblazoned defender
gothic defender
diamond aegis
bladed shield
eternal shield
correct me if i forgot some important skin...
and about q7 shields,well....there are no some newer skins with any perfect mods that i could give some estimate.the only skin rly worth mentioning was q7 diamond aegis,but it stats were nothing close to perfect. but the first perfect q7 shield that comes to my mind is ornate buckler q7tac -2st/+30hp which is something like 500e

For the places where it drops im gonna go with those Factions shield from Kurz or Lux side. Those are Amber Aegis , Echovald Shield , Gothic Defenders , Embossed Aegis and Outcast Shields ( maybe there are more ). Not dropping on Zchest and elite missions like Deep and Urgoz really counts for me .

Been out of the market for a long time, but the last time I checked, I believe Req 9 Com Amethyst Aegis was the most expensive. Don't know if that's still true though.

Echovald imo, but seraphim is good with prices, so I'll go with his.

Spil claimed he had one but i dont recall anyone ever having seen it.
Also, a req8 30-2(stance) Crude Shield was amazingly rare back then. Not sure if thats still the case.

im not sure that akh has 2 of them,i can confirm just one
Yang Whirlwind
I roughly agree with SeraphiM's estimates when we are talking "oldschool"/uninscribable shields - he really knows what he is talking about here!
I also agree that Draconic Aegis (req 9 str.) and of course Tormented Shields are the most expensive in the inscribable category

Raven Wing
I can confirm amber aegis is in demand and rare. There are not many req13 shields you can get 100k for. The one i found had perf mods, so the buyer was happy, and maybe i could have got even more for it.
Pleikki
Depending on stats, req, and skin, could possibly be any shield. by value. By drop rates. Rarests would be bladed, outcast and GotH/Amber..
But Any other skin with r7 and 30 5/20 would be worth more probably then any of those perf stats r9-10..
Excisting Rarest shields IMO, are r8 stre 30/-2st Bladed, Echovald And Magmas.
NO! Please, DONT add single item on zchest anymore..
ive seen 2-3 GotHs, Theres actually r8 tac 30/10ar blunt on PC right now..

to sum up , in order of rarity, now that gwen and Zchest came out:
the rarest would be factions skins that can't be found as inscribables outside faction
so that means Outcast, echovald, bladed, amber, ornate, stamped, gothic and plagueborn
after that u can add that uninscribables version of eternal shield and guardian of the hunt would be rare also if very good stats.
then u got the inscribables but still uncommon ones , draconic aegis , amethyst, darkwing, enameled, demonic
all the others are semi rare or common ( unless uninscribales q8 or q9 perf or uncommon stats (for example the dual -2ench/-2stance mod is rare)

/Agree with SeraphiM on the original rare shields, can't really add more here.
But the rarest and most expensive of all inscribable shields is a Q8 Darkwing Defender, (q8 Enameled would be 2nd, other top insc skins don't have req8 versions).

Yup, factions sheilds that are not in the zaishen chests and only still come in uninsc from cantha alone hold the "rare" seat - most the time the most valuable too. Outcast, Ornates, Amber Aegis, Bladeds, etc... the best ons too!
Fallen SeraphiM
oh,and ive mistaken about rarest q7 shield....i just remembered that there is q7str +10vs blunt/+30hp shadow shield
