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.
{{Shield | name = | tooltip_image = | shield_type = | armor_class = | durability = | min_block = | max_block = | threat = | plus_block = | is_soulbound = | stat1_name = | stat1_value = | stat2_name = | stat2_value = | stat3_name = | stat3_value = | stat4_name = | stat4_value = | stat5_name = | stat5_value = | stat6_name = | stat6_value = | level_requirement = | class_requirement1 = | class_requirement2 = | class_requirement3 = | how_to_acquire = | sale_price = | crafting_profession = | recipe_page = | component1_name = | component1_material = | component2_name = | component2_material = | component3_name = | component3_material = | component4_name = | component4_material = | component5_name = | component5_material = | model_image1 = | model_image2 = | model_image3 = }}
