Chaotic kiteshield

The Chaotic 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 experience is required to attain the 200,000 tokens necessary to purchase the item. It is currently the best overall shield, with the highest stab, slash, crush and ranged defence bonuses, but has a slight negative to magic defence. This shield is possibly only rivaled by the divine spirit shield and the elysian spirit shield (because of their effects) for the best shield in the game.

After approximately 10 hours of combat, the chaotic 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 shield may be recharged for a fee by the rewards trader. 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; a combination of cash and tokens will cost up to 200,000 coins and a number of Dungeoneering tokens. Repairs cost 20,000 coins or 200 tokens per 1% charge depleted.

The chaotic kiteshield currently provides the best damage absorption rates for a shield, together with the Farseer kiteshield and Eagle-eye kiteshield (each favouring one side of the combat triangle). It provides 7% melee and 14% ranged damage absorption. These work exactly the same as damage soaking provided by armor, will stack with them, and will appear in the equipment screen.

Trivia

 * On the day of its release, the chaotic kiteshield gave a +7.0 Strength bonus along with very similar bonuses to a charged dragonfire shield. A few hours later it was changed to its current stats.
 * The original price for this reward used to be 400k tokens (before the 21 April 2010 update).
 * Even though the chaotic kiteshield is a kiteshield, it provides no negative ranged attack bonuses.
 * Originally, players believed it to balls 10% melee damage and 20% ranged damage, as stated in the Runescape Knowledge Base. It was confirmed by Mod Ash on 11/9/10 that it soaked 7% melee damage and 14% ranged damage instead. This upset players that bought the shield for its original ability.
 * This is currently the only shield to give melee attack bonuses - the only other shield slot items that do are prayer books and defenders.
