There are two ways. You can either buy them from somebody else, which is not very hard to do, although it can be quite expensive. The way I prefer is just to go out exploring or doing missions. Enemies occaisionally drop shields, and if you're lucky you might get a good one.

I only found one shield in the first BWE I played...then nothing I couldn't see any advantage to the starter shield. can only the Warrior or someone weilding a one handed melee weapon use a shield?

I got a couple +8 armor shields around The Frost Gate mission. Pretty good drops. I've gotten several shield drops. And they've all been better than the last. Don't know if +8 is good or not. At least, the stats were just better than I had, so it was better for me.

I ended up with a +16 Tall Shield which was nice, it had a modifier as well, but I forget. Went well with my Fellblade though

..... sigh.. common, u dont get GOOD shields until u are in higher level, don't expect a high armor shield when u are in the very beginning..

and if you want good looking rare shields, go to Fissure of Woe, sure that mission is tough, and cost quiet a lot to get in, but drops are nice.

Me, being a N/R had no use for shields, but I got quite a few over drops. The highest I believe was a +9 tower shield. Just be patient, and learn how to speak english
