    Nice! I like it when decent weapons are constantly stocked. (Well... maybe not, since I can't hoard them and jack up the price during a war.)

    I don't care what the folks at TDN say, that's actually a decent price for a 20-iconer (hope it's not fractional!). Should compliment the Ghostkershield well. After all, they've been complaining about the helplessness of Ghoskershield against water for years now.

    From what I can see it doesn't defend for enough icons. The benefits of things like Ftab and Gshield is that it blocks out certain icons completely.

    20 icons, sure, but considering that there are four different icon types, and that the new generation of skardsen equivalents (sword of air, light, fire, earth etc) are out, it makes the shield somewhat redundant.

    It's still hard to believe that they killed off a neopet character! At least he'll live on in Neoquest II. For now.

    Seems like more people tested it and found that it blocks 100% light icons now.

    If it blocks 100% light and all those icons, 8m is as good as it gets. If it's just those icons though, it's not good. Doesn't block any dark, light or fire. And 5 of each icon type is too little, with the anagrams swords dealing almost 3 times that.

    Buy if it blocks 100% light too, skip if it doesn't.

    With the new swords coming out, it would make sense if there were newer 100% shields of a certain icon.

    You would still need to save up a lot to get those shields, but it is a step forward.

    I'm getting this. But don't forget the JBR, albeit more pricey, which blocks all light and deals dark icons
