Shield Wall

    I collect shields, and I've been wanting to mount them on the walls for a long time (Sigrdrifa, 2 Bayle Court, South Qeynos, Maj'Dul).

    I finally assembled a bunch of mannequins, equipped them with various of my shields, then sank the mannequins into the walls. The side wall had to be padded out with some building block dividers to be able to sink the mannequins far enough, but the front wall let me place the shields pretty decently.

    Of course, this could not have happened without the use of the Layout Editor!

    There are so many gorgeous shields in game and my banks are full of those which I've kept literally for years - brilliant job on showing them off!
  4. Uwkete-of-Crushbone Well-Known Member

    Holy hat! Where'd you get all the square ones?? :D

    There's at least a couple of them; I'm mostly looking at the green and lighter blue ones up at the upper right corner of the screenshot; not so much the rectangular Tower ones. Judging by the patterning, they look done by the same culture, or even the same smith. :)

    That's pretty. If I promise to not take up too much space, can I move in? :D

    BTW, what's that one in the top right hand corner? It looks just the thing for a Freeblood lair dual sconce mounting.

    Wow, those shields look nice, I gotta try that trick myself:)

    It's just the photo angle. They're standard rectangular tower shields. There ARE a whole bunch of square bucklers, but I haven't seen many that are particularly attractive.

    Well, the front wall kept eating mannequins and shields, so I moved stuff around and moved a bunch upstairs. Here's what I have now (click images to get full sized):

    Isn't there at least one that looks like it could've been Achilles' shield? With the city at war, at peace, the farmers, vintners, drovers, etc.? :)

    who thinks it was a Tower Shield type...?

    Thank you *so* much for this, Sigrdrifa! I think I'll have to go make a list titled "Stuff I Need to Stab Repeatedly in the Face Until They Give Me Their Shields".

    Also, the shield I was wondering about turns out to be the first thing I made from AoM :oops: /head_desk

    That is a good trick to know... Thanks, I've always pondered how to display the more ornate shields. Looks great btw.
  15. Sigrdrifa EQ2 Wiki Author

    There are a couple like that, both on the same shape as the Shiny Brass Shield and one on a tower. Unfortunately, no matter how I light them, it's really difficult to see the figuration on the shield, and they"re all basically pearlescent white with a hint of pale pink and green.
  16. Sharann Well-Known Member

    Amazing! Didn't know we had so many wall-shields in game. Great job!
  17. Sigrdrifa EQ2 Wiki Author

    These are just shields that I happened to find attractive for one reason or another. There are probably hundreds of others that weren't as spiffy to my eye. And for that matter, while I extracted a few shields from my priests and scout, I know I have more pally shields somewhere I need to dig out.
  18. Uwkete-of-Crushbone Well-Known Member

    I don't know if any of them are Wall items; Sigrd just had mannequins with them on them, then buried the mannequins behind Divider building blocks, if I'm not mistaken. :)

    Great job! but what a pain to do it. I think its about time that we received wall mount points (plaques) that we can mount in our houses that can be made by in game crafters, or city festival rewards etc.

    I love that display of shields. There are still some shields not up there that would be cool to see in this display. One that comes to mind is the shield you get at the end of the quest line in Withered Lands that gains you access to Skyshrine. Is supposed to resemble a dragons head and is a pretty awesome looking shield. If you don't have it, I'd be happy to drop it on a mannequin for you, Sigrdrifa. Also the two shield designs you get in Thalumbra, which are pretty cool. :)
