Wood Tower Shield

The Wood tower shield is an early-game tower shield crafted at a Workbench. Like other tower shields, it is built for blocking rather than parrying, and it provides a strong amount of block armor for its tier at the cost of heavier handling. It can also be visually customized at the moment of crafting, letting the player choose from several preset designs and colors before the shield is made.

Its base materials are simple: wood and leather scraps. The shield can be upgraded through three quality levels, with each upgrade increasing both its block armor and durability while also requiring more workbench progression. At maximum quality, it becomes noticeably sturdier and more reliable for absorbing hits from weaker enemies and early threats.

• Quality 1: 10 block armor, 200 durability, costs 10 Wood and 6 Leather Scraps, requires Workbench level 1.
• Quality 2: 16 block armor, 250 durability, costs 5 Wood and 3 Leather scraps, requires Workbench level 2.
• Quality 3: 22 block armor, 300 durability, costs 10 Wood and 6 Leather scraps, requires Workbench level 3.
• Total cost to fully upgrade: 25 Wood and 15 Leather scraps.

Because the style is locked in when crafting, it is worth choosing the preferred appearance before confirming the recipe. The seven available styles give the shield a wider range of looks than most early equipment, making it a practical defensive item that can also fit different character themes.

The Wood tower shield is a good first tower shield for players who want a straightforward defensive option early in progression. Its low material cost and easy upgrade path make it accessible, while its customizable appearance gives it a little more personality than a purely functional starter shield.
