Loud Abnoxious Sigh Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 This may have already been asked, and if so, I apologize. I've put in 140 hours on this game and have yet to run across a glass shield, anyone have any idea as to where I may find one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Am I correct in assuming that your character is at level 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampede Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Well, so long as you are not using any item rarity mods, it should just be a matter of time, I will see if I can find any levelled armour locations...but in the mean time, go vampire hunting!

Switch Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Actually, you're more likely to find glass shields if you hunt bandits. There are some in Vilverin, and a number of other dungeons besides. Bandits always wear light armour, and it's almost always glass at level 25-30+. Shields do seem to be harder to come by than the other pieces though. Just keep leveling and going to bandit dungeons and you should find one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Of course, so long as he is running vanilla Oblivion with no item levelling mods. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaanicOne Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Indeed, I've had trouble finding shields and gauntlets among Bandits and Marauders. They're not as common as other parts of armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agraza Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I find that LA shields are very hard to find. I don't know about high end stuff, but at the low end you'll see one light iron shield for every 30 iron or steel shields (HA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modernlegend Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Being entirely honest this may be one of the few reality concious things you see in oblivion with armour trends, in reality there are very fiew Light forms of shield for the simple reason that light materials are pretty much incapable of stopping blows, for example wooden shields made out of lighter woods do not last long. Also, many of the materials they use for light armour, leather and quilted for example cannot be formed into equivilent shields, just one possible, and my personal take on tghe light armour shield situation! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
