If you bought the Crimson Carapace Shield just outside Camp Rankor before March 9th, you still have the old version which is +45hp (whilst hexed), -2 dmg received (whilst hexed), req 9 tactics. Now that this item is rare, I wonder if there will be a market in pre buffed items like this. HAH.
Luckily that one is cheap and you can buy all the frost griffon wings easily enough.
The desert carapace shield is the +45hp (in stance), -2 dmg received (in stance), req 9 tactics version. That one now costs 2 bleached shells. More expensive than the hexed version but still cheaper than what it used to be (5 shells).
