Garuda, obtained Aegis on 6/24/06- first on server


Three players have it on Garuda... so yeah if any of them is Japanese and since you got it in 2006... They probably had it first~
(I said -probably- <.<)(and that is unless if you meant 'first to get it in 06' :P)

Sorry this is a little late but to reply to the whole D. Ring thing...
You said that aegis would reduce damage by about 75%~85%, but in your example you used 75%
You continued to say that if you got hit for 200 damage, and reduced 75% from the shield block, that brings it down to 50 dmg, minus 10% from D. Ring andyou have 45 damage.
Now should D. Ring kick in before the shield block, it reduces the 200 damage to 180 damage. From there, a shield block reduces that by 75%, thus bringing us to 45 damage again.
Honestly, I don't think there is much of a difference over which one kicks in first (if there even is a difference)
Thats just my opinion though.

Well, about them emnity issue, yeah it should have some, but concider this: everytime you take damage, you loose a little hate. This shield vastly reduces damage taken, so hate lose is minimal. Whether slower hate lose is better/worse than stronger hate gain, I'll let the people with the shiny shield decide that.

And about this obsoleting the defending ring, it should. New stuff should outperform old stuff. Yes it sucks to spend years to get one piece of gear only to see it weeks later become not as great as a new piece of gear is released that is better, esp if it's easier to get. Still, D. ring will help those few times you don't block.
this and some rings...

Currency for Final Upgrade
# Oct 12 2006 at 2:41 AM Rating: Decent
OK...I read most of the post and did not see anything about the currency of the last upgrade to Aegis. Anyone know the price? I see the other prices on mysterytour.com but it does not list the final ugprade price. Those of you that have this shield please let it be known. Thanks.
!!!???
# Sep 03 2006 at 3:05 AM Rating: Decent
anyone say that this shield is useless is the one that need to have his head checked out , this shield simply put transform you from a Paladin regardless of you're equip into God . and if you know how PLD works you will know that .

I believe the goblin Switchstix does all the relic upgrades. He is in Castle Zvahl I think.
I know I'll never be able to try this
# Jul 19 2006 at 2:29 AM Rating: Decent
but has anyone ever tried /mnk boosting >> shield bash? I know a straight of the lot chi-blast does about 200 damage and can break 700-1K. Would be interesting
its not worth the price per say
# Jun 07 2006 at 10:54 AM Rating: Decent
The reason this is such a good sheild is because its a lvl 4 shield in damage taken with shield block but its a lvl 1 with speed, soo you get the most blcoks possible and the most damage reduction possible 80% or so per hit so on 200 u get hit 40. Other then that its not all that.
its not worth the price per say
# Jul 11 2006 at 1:10 PM Rating: Decent
The magic reduction is superb. You can actually survive when things like Kirin cast Quake. Not to mention the shield bash's damage hitting for 200.
awesome
# Jun 06 2006 at 5:14 PM Rating: Decent
Rio on Caitsith server has this shield, he was also the first one on the server to get Maats hat, and all i know is when you check him, all his gear is EX or RARE/EX. Crazy guy must never sleep.
oh well

Well, somepage lists it as a type 5 shield, but that's almost another story. What I heard from Killing Ifrit (I'll try to find the thread) was that the shield, fully upgraded, had very high damage reduction, and fired off more times then a Master Shield. They claimed it to have ~~80% damage reduction when it went off, and went off commonly. He said that not only was the Magic Damage-% good, but that, with full shield skill and boosts (like AF1), it had about a 60% damage reduction considering how many times he blocked. He said that straight tanking with a sword and shield seems somewhat viable. Any PLD's dream. =D Noted that the shield bash effect going off was ~~200 and he could normally stun exp mobs for 10-15 secs. O_o;

However, remember that nothing posted online is necessarily 100% fact. And I'd hate to feed the rumor mill. You prolly shouldn't use this post as a refrence, but merely as probable info. The post from KI did make me have Relic Shield priorities over Sword. XD


ure info is absolutly correct. someone on Odin has Aegis,and used it against Aspidochelone, and he was blocking like hell, and didnt get too much dmg. + he did like 200dmg shield bash on Aspid......so this shield is really awesome~ but since the price for bills went up to 70-80k for a single bill its just too f****** hard to get it.

Although I read many different stories on how Aegis came about, this is one of which I liked most:

"Perseus was the son of Jupiter and Danae. His granfather Acrisius, alarmed by an oracle which hadtold him that his daughter's child would be the intstrument of his death, caused the mother and the child to be shut up in a chest and set adrift on the sea. The chest floated towards Seriphus, where it was found by a fisherman who conveyed the mother and infant to Polydectes, the king of the country, by whom they were treated with kindness. When Perseus was grown up, Polydectes sent him to attemppt the conquest of Medusa, a terrible monster who had laid waste the country. She was once a beautiful maiden whose hair was her chief glory, but as she dared to vie the beauty of Minerva, the goddess deprived her of her charms and changed her beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents. She became a cruel monster of so frightful an aspect that no living thing could behold her without being turned into stone. All around the cavern where she dwelt might be seen the stony figures of men and animals which had chanced to catch a glimpse of her and had been petrified with the sight. Perseus, favoured by Minerva and Mercury, the former of whom lent him her shield and the latter his winged shoes, approached Medusa while she slept, and taking care not to look directly at her, but guided by her image reflected in the bright shield which he bore, he cut off her head and gave it to Minerva, who fixed it in the middle of her Aegis.”

I just wondered so much why is there a head in the middle of the Aegis, I guess that explains it.

In Homer's Iliad Ægis was Zeus's buckler (which I assume he got from Perseus as it did have Medusa's head in the center).

"Ægis" is also the possesive form of the Norse word "ægir" which means "terror," as in Fafnir's helm Ægisjalmr (terror's helm?).

Read the whole thing on Wiki.

Close, the Aegis is not a 'buckler' is a golden sheepskin that will shield it's bearer from all harm (that kinda explains this items proc rate lol). Zeus (Jove, Jupiter) gave it to his his favorite daughter Athena (Minerva). It can be seen in any portrayal of Athena draped around her neck, it is NOT the shield she carries.
