Hey there. I just found a buckler that is moderately vulnerable to disruption attacks and very resistant to impact attacks. Is this a bug in the treasure system, or does a shield's damage resistance actually translate to you when you are hit? I thought it only existed on armor...

Shields can have resistance, too. A couple of them exist in platinum. Not totally sure about prime. Apparently combining shield resist with armor resist creates wonkiness, which is why they had to change the resistance service at EG to disallow shields after they said it was ok. So.. by all appearances they translate.

a battered steel shield edged in cerulean-hued ora
As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the steel shield in your hand...
The magical harmonics reveal that this is an item which serves as a shield when held in the left hand.
As your song penetrates the steel shield, you determine that it is moderately vulnerable to fiery attacks and very resistant to frigid attacks.
So ya... umm, these work. What happens if you're wearing fire resistant leathers while holding it?
It came to me 0x, long enchant project ahead I guess. But pretty nice shield for some square hunting in the cold.

>>Griffin drops are impact.<<
So is falling in Stone Valley into the crevasse...
A lot of Dark Catalyst flares impact...
I believe there is impact damage when you fall to the ground after being charged...
Impact is all over the place, and (after lightning) is my favorite resistance to add to armor.
It's nasty stuff!
