Creating a New Shield Page

This guide will help you create pages for shields — whether they are dropped, quested, purchased or crafted.

Steps to Create a New Shield Page

1. Create the Page

Use the name of the shield exactly as it appears in-game.

If the shield can be crafted with different materials, use the format: Shield Name/Secondary Material
Example:Newhaven Copper Shield/Rough Light Leather

2. Use the Shield Template

On the new page, copy/paste the template found below.
If you use the Create Center, it will be preloaded automatically.
