Elysian spirit shield

Beta


 * For the Lucky version, see Lucky elysian spirit shield.

The elysian spirit shield was released on 15 September 2008 along with the Summer's End quest. It requires 75 Defence and 75 Prayer to wield. The shield is made by attaching together a blessed spirit shield and an elysian sigil. To do so requires 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing. In addition, you must have completed Summer's End to make or wear the elysian spirit shield. Also, players may instead ask Brother Bordiss to attach the two parts together for 1,500,000 coins after completing the Perils of Ice Mountain quest. On 15 March 2011, (after the ring of wealth update) the sigils erroneously became a 100% drop from the Corporeal Beast. This was patched within the hour.

As of 28 February, the Squeal of Fortune offers a 'lucky' version of this shield as a possible reward.

Special Bonus
Like the Arcane and Divine spirit shields the Elysian spirit shields reduces all damage taken by 30%, 6% of the original damage is taken from prayer points instead. For example a hit of 2,000 will be reduced to 1,400 and 120 prayer points will be taken.

Trivia

 * In classical Greek mythology, there is a realm in the Underworld called the Elysium Fields, or the Elysian Plains. This is the final resting place for the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. However, this was only present in the Tartarus domain of the underworld.
 * On 1 February 2010, the spirit shields appearances were changed to match their inventory pictures. The Elysian spirit shield's colour was changed to a vibrant cyan from a previous greyish blue. Previously the Elysian spirit shield and Spectral spirit shield were close to same shade of blue.
 * At one point this item held the second highest value of any item in RuneScape, second only to the Christmas Cracker.
