Flametal Shield

The shield is and always will be a viking's most important weapon.
Overview



At quality 1, the shield has 114 block armor and 200 durability. Upgrading it raises those values to 120 block armor and 250 durability at quality 2, then 126 block armor and 300 durability at quality 3. Its upgrade costs are:
- Quality 1: 10 Ashwood, 8 Flametal, 2
Asksvin hide
- Quality 2: 10 Ashwood, 4 Flametal, 2 Asksvin hide
- Quality 3: 20 Ashwood, 8 Flametal, 4 Asksvin hide
Because the shield’s block armor scales steadily with upgrades, it becomes much more effective for surviving heavy hits as soon as you can afford to improve it. Its crafting cost also makes Flametal the limiting material, so progression is usually tied to how much of that resource you can gather. The shield is a straightforward choice for players who want a dependable defensive option in the late game and are willing to invest in upgrades for better survivability.
