Having retired from spending hours in Kamadan, it seems that I have carelessly acquired 14 more dual reduction shields since the last time I posted them. The total in my display cabinet within my vaults is now 65.
My collection is beginning to take shape a bit more now. It may look like I'm randomly acquiring every one of these things, but my opus magnae has always been the pursuit of creating sets of dual reduction shields - one of each requirement per skin. Look closely and you can see that my masterpiece is beginning to become more ordered.
Magmas Shield
Tall Shield
Defender
Crude Shield
Shield Of The Wing
Eternal Shield
Reinforced Buckler
Shadow Shield
Summit Warlord Shield
Aegis
Skeleton Shield
Skull Shield
Wooden Buckler
Round Shield
Ornate Buckler
There is still a long way to go.....

You can tell how rare a particular skin is by how many of them I have - the rare skins are obvious by their quantity here. Obviously the r7s are excruciatingly rare because of the odds of them dropping in the first place. However, because of that, people kept them, so they are more likely to have survived than r12 for example.
The rarest ones of all though are the Magmas Shields, the r10 eternal -2-5(19%), and the r7 tall -2-2(10%). These are the only ones ever known to have existed with these mods, on any skin. But the complete set of Magmas shields is worth a special mention. The set was put together by Enchanted Krystal, the finest collector of Magmas shields in history. He was my inspiration to collect, and gave me my first dual reduction to start me off. He let me purchase the set a long time ago for my collection. These are the only known dual reduction Magmas shields, but to have put together a set of r8-13 is truly astonishing.
In terms of value, many of these shields are truly priceless. They are worth whatever people are prepared to pay. Some of them I would tentatively value at over 150 armbraces each, but it's impossible to value them. A r9 eternal shield recently was subject to a bidwar, and my offer of 50a was not enough for the seller to part with it.
They're priceless to me. But on the market they're worth what ever you're prepare to pay.

Nice post
The time I started to think about collecting oldschool items was the time I planned to (or had to) quit playing. But respect to the effort you put in that collection, keep it up

Nice work Invokeur
It was hard to let that dual red buckler go, but on reflection, it was a good decision. It looks good with the crystalline. Also, I can't own all of them, so I'm pleased you're giving it the love it deserves
Ikki.... We need to speak about that r7 long....

Im out peace

You call that a collection?
What a Noob...why don't you just go to FoW and die.
Seriously, wow. I knew most of the goodies you stashed away over the years, but seeing it all together with some items I didn't know about is damn awesome. You should put all THE shields in a pic together though; I'm sure nobody will mind if seeing them twice in one post, and they deserve the emphasis.
Enjoy the day-in-day-out of real life, Fella!
