Elysian spirit shield

The Elysian spirit shield was released on 15 September 2008 along with Summer's End. It requires 75 Defence and 75 Prayer to wield. The shield is made by attaching an Elysian sigil to a Blessed spirit shield. To do this, players need 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing. Additionally, you can ask Brother Bordiss to attach it for 1,500,000 after completing Perils of Ice Mountain.

The Knowledge Base states that the Elysian Spirit Shield has a special bonus: "70% chance of reducing the damage you receive by 25%". Without consideration of the special effect, the shield is almost as powerful as the Dragonfire Shield ( strictly in terms of defence bonuses), but having 16 more points (principally from Summoning defense), the Elysian shield significantly surpasses Dragonfire Shield.

In another aspect, the shield far outclasses the Dragonfire shield. The shield's special bonus makes this shield possibly the strongest shield in RuneScape 70% of the time. Aside from the Divine spirit shield, which reduces damage by 30% all the time (assuming you have enough prayer), no other shield in RuneScape can reduce inflicted damage from non-specific attacks.

Wealthy players may find this shield useful for surviving Dragon dagger and Dark bow specials, and this is the best shield in the game for fighting bosses like Kree'arra. Currently, the shield is extremely rare and significantly more expensive than a Dragonfire shield.
