	A large shield made of tough leather stretched over a round frame. The hard metal rivets attached to it can cause the tips of enemy swords to snap off when they get stuck in the wood.
Large Shield		1	6	22	300	Buy: Al-Khampis
	An immense shield of tough wood reinforced with steel mesh for added strength. It is meant mainly for defending against arrow and spear volleys. Its large size makes it impractical for melee combat.
Mythril Shield		15	8	25	600	Buy: Ancheim
	A beautiful shield made from overlapping sheets of mythril steel from Eisenberg. This latest in shield design exploits the tremendous repulsive force that two separate pieces of mythril steel have when subjected to an impact.
Serrated Shield		14	7	24	2100	Buy: Yunohana
	Raises the wearer's strength by 5.
	Also known as the pirates' shield, this buckler hailing from Yunohana was long favored by buccaneers of the Sea of Corsairs. The blades extending from all sides make this the perfect tool for both offense and defense.
Icefire Shield		18	9	29	—	Chest: Geyser Grotto (West)
	A miraculous large shield that combines both fire and water resistance. A true gem, made by a temple armorer by placing more than thirty fire and water charms between thin metal plates, and then adding further ornamentation designed to block fire and water.
Adamant Shield		22	11	26	3000	Buy: Florem Steal: Heinkel (Ch. 2 & 5)
	A shield made from the carapace of an adamantite shell. The grip is rather slimy. It is so strong that no blade can penetrate it, and so resilient that it can absorb any impact that strikes it. It is lighter and easier to use than metal shields, making it an ideal shield for melee battles.
Cross Shield		25	13	24	6000	Buy: Grandship Rare Steal: Imperial Guardshield (Ch. 3-4)
	A large, oval-shaped shield. It is adorned on the top, bottom, right, and left with crystal runes, and covered with a silver coating. This type of shield has been adopted by the knightly orders of many lands that defend the Crystal Orthodoxy.

	A tenebrous shield imbued with demonic wrath by continuously bathing it for 120 years in fresh blood harvested from an archdemon who was captured and slowly bled without killing him.

	A wondrous shield said to have been presented by the father of the gods to his daughter. It is believed to ward against all manner of calamity, evil, and lust. It was later enhanced by embedding inside it the head of a monster that petrifies its victims.

	A large, demon-faced shield found in a fortress of a clan that suffered a bitter end after being betrayed. It has been irreparably stained by their blood and malice. Only a hero of light, pure of mind and spirit, can dispel the evil that dwells within the shield.

	Reduces all elemental damage taken by 50%.
	The odious curse that once infested it driven away by the pure-hearted exploits of the warriors of light, the bloody shield has been reborn as a shining, glorious shield of heroes. It has the ability to halve damage caused by any and all of the elements.
Unbreakable		48	24	30	200000	Buy: Chompshire
	The stalwart shield of Sir Argent Heinkel, ever resilient after countless blows from countless battles. "But what would happen should it suffer a blow from the mighty sword All-Cleaver?" Hearing this question countless times from countless wiseacres is perhaps more trying than any strike this shield has endured.
Astroche		48	24	30	200000	Buy: Chompshire
	A shield that doubles as an astrolabe, often seen on the person of Norzen Horoskoff, Professor Emeritus of Al-Khampis. It resembles a face, one much larger than Norzen's by comparison. As a result, much to the professor's chagrin, people often address the shield instead of the man when first meeting him.
S.Berry Shieldcake		48	24	30	200000	Buy: Chompshire
	The shield used by Angelo Oscar Vincenzo Olivier Panettone, pastry chef to the empire, crafted to resemble one of his heavenly desserts. Though it appears moist and fluffy, it is hardened with the adoration of his most devoted female fans.

	A shield forged using a piece of the ancient relic known as the compass of space and time. One need only to specify a time and place using the bezel along its rim to be spirited away to another time.
Grand M.'s Shield		41	21	29	—	Item Orb: Eternian Central Command (Prison B2 Ch. 6; during Templar sidequest)
	To govern a nation and lead it people, to protect and uplift the downtrodden masses, one needs a certain strength of character and a symbol of their resolve. This shield is that symbol.

Horned Helm	9	4	—	400	Buy: Ancheim
	Two mighty horns adorn this sturdy helmet. In the bygone days of the Harena Dynasty, it was primarily a ceremonial item, used in harvest rites to pay tribute to a goat-horned goddess of bounty and fertility, but was gradually adopted for military purposes when commanders realized the effectiveness of the horns in keeping enemies at bay.
Eisenhut	11	5	—	800	Buy: Hartschild

Bassinet	19	9	—	4000	Buy: Grandship
	A round-shaped helmet with a hinged visor, striking a balance between defense and an adequate field of vision. When first introduced, the cone-shaped visor was mocked by soldiers as looking like the face of an orc. Their jeers soon stopped when its worth was proven in combat.

Lamellar Armor	8	2	—	200	Buy: Eternia Chest: Eternian Central Command (48F)
	Armor forged from dozens of small metal plates laced together with cords. It is relatively tough for it simple construction. Cutting the cords that hold it together, however, reveal the fatal flaw in its making. Nevertheless, novice fighters often choose this armor if only for its modest price.
Ring Mail	13	3	—	500	Buy: Al-Khampis
	Cloth armor reinforced with a mesh forged from metal rings. While its defense is dramatically improved, the rattling of chain mail makes this armor impractical for work requiring stealth.
Splint Mail	18	4	—	1000	Buy: Ancheim
	Ring mail constructed with a leather foundation, reinforced with metal plates similar to lamellar armor. While it boasts the defense of two sets of armor, it also bears their combined burden.
Plate Mail	24	5	—	2000	Buy: Hartschild
	A suit of steel armor that shields all but the head and arms. These plates of armor are often worn over the chain mail. This heavy armor has been improved through years of research, reworking the joints to improve freedom of movement. As a result, people wearing it can move faster than they look.

Liquid Armor	42	8	—	7500	Buy: Sagitta Village
	An age old material known as dilatancy was used in lieu of padding for this cloth armor. When struck, the vicious liquid quickly solidifies, protecting the wearer.

Cuirass	36	7	—	5000	Buy: Florem
	Chest armor with an exquisite emblem etched into its surface. Its rounded design helps the wearer avert direct attacks from enemies. Veterans of war will find his armor provides much better protection than plate mail.
Fluted Armor	46	9	—	10000	Buy: Grandship Steal: Revenant (Ch. 4)

Dragonscale Armor	50	10	—	20000	Buy: Caldisla Steal: Revenant (Ch. 5)
	In ages past, a massive dragon was slain by a great king, and its scales used to fashion this armor.

Thus its rarity and value without equal, despite the relative abundance of the scale themselves.
Genji Armor	52	11	—	—	Chest: Eternian Central Command (Prison B2 hidden; Ch. 6)
	Armor used by the Genji clan, leaders of the samurai from the land of Wa, a mysterious island nation that vanished centuries ago. This armor was worn by high-ranking clansmen who mainly fought with bows on horseback. It is exquisitely crafted and quite beautiful.
Crystal Mail	54	12	—	—	Chest: Via Celestio (Phase V) Drop: Diamante (Ch. 5) Rare Steal: Diamante (Ch. 5)
	A rare type of mail made by painstakingly bonding together fragments that flaked away from a crystal. They cannot be mass produced because each crystal fragment had a unique shape. Some say it takes an unfathomable length of time to complete one set of this armor.
