Eagle-eye kiteshield

The Eagle-eye kiteshield is a shield released with the Dungeoneering skill on 12 April 2010. The shield requires a defence level of 80 and a Dungeoneering level of 80 to wield. At least two million Dungeoneering xp is required to attain the 200,000 tokens needed to purchase the item. After approximately 10 hours of combat, the Eagle-eye kiteshield will degrade completely and must be recharged before it may be used again; it has a 20% charge on purchase. Once these charges have been used up, the Eagle-eye kiteshield can be recharged for a fee by the rewards trader. To do so, right-click on him and select "Recharge" with the depleted shield in your inventory. There are two methods of recharging: cash, or a combination of cash and dungeoneering tokens. A cash repair will cost up to 2 million coins. The Eagle-eye kiteshield soaks up 7% of all received ranged damage and 14% of all received magic damage that would have hit for 200 life points or more. Melee damage is not soaked up at all. Any damage soaked up by the shields will be noted in your chat window. "Soaking" damage lessens the charge on a shield more quickly than usual. == Repair costs == The shield is purchased at 20% charge. Repair costs come in 1% values; you can repair them at anytime when there's at least 1% charge missing. * 100% charged (Fully charged) – no cost. * 99% charged – 20,000 coins or 2,000 coins and 200 tokens. * 90% charged – 200,000 coins or 20,000 coins and 2,000 tokens. * 0% charged (No charge) – 2,000,000 coins or 200,000 coins and 20,000 tokens. ==Trivia== *This is the only shield in the game that has a positive ranged attack bonus, other than the Unholy book, Book of Balance and Book of Law. *Despite being labelled as a kiteshield, the shield does not possess the eponymous kite shape; it more closely resembles a buckler. *In the Runescape Knowledge Base, the Eagle-eye Kiteshield was shown as soaking 10% ranged damage and 20% mage damage. As of 11/9/10, it was confirmed by Mod Ash to in fact soak 7% ranged damage and 14% mage damage. This made players upset who bought the shield for the original ability. == External links == * Game Guide about Dungeoneering reward shields Eagle-eye kiteshield
