Chaotic kiteshield

Beta

A 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. 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.

Warning: As with all chaotic items, players will not receive a warning message when attempting to drop their chaotic kiteshield.

Repair costs
When first bought, the shield is 20% charged. Repair costs come in 1% increments; you can repair them whenever 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.
 * 20% charged (After buying) – 1,600,000 coins or 160,000 coins and 16,000 tokens.
 * 0% charged (No charge) – 2,000,000 coins or 200,000 coins and 20,000 tokens.

Trivia

 * It should be noted that the 10 hours of combat that all chaotic items last for, are measured in 1 game tick (600 ticks per 1%) per attack made AND received. It is thus possible to have your Chaotic items degrade at faster rates if you are under attack from multiple enemies, or get attacked by enemies with fast attack rates like Scarab swarms.
 * On the day of its release, the chaotic kiteshield gave a +7.0 Strength bonus along with very similar bonuses to a fully charged dragonfire shield. A few hours later it was changed to its current stats.
 * The Chaotic Kiteshield used to cost 400,000 Dungeoneering Tokens before the 21 April 2010 update.
 * Originally, players believed it to soak 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 bonus was removed with the release of the Evolution of Combat.
 * There was a rumour that chaotic kiteshields, along with all other chaotic weapons/shields, will stack in the bank as long as they are on the same charge. However, this is not true.
 * This shield along with the Eagle-eye kiteshield currently has no defence animation when being attacked.
