Arcane spirit shield

The Arcane spirit shield was released on 15 September 2008 along with Summer's End. It requires 75 Defence, 70 Prayer and 65 Magic to wield. The shield is made by attaching an Arcane sigil to a Blessed spirit shield. To do this, players need 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing. Smithing the shield gives 1,800 smithing exp. Alternatively, you can ask Brother Bordiss to attach it for 1,500,000 coins after completing Perils of Ice Mountain.

The shield gives slightly better defence bonuses than the Dragon sq shield, and its Crush defence is slightly higher than that of a fully charged Dragonfire shield. The Arcane spirit shield is also the shield with the most Magic attack bonus in the entire game. Previously, that title belonged to the Mages' book, which has five less Magic attack.
