So I swapped my Mystic Knight (badass class!) to fighter so I can get the +10 carry weight augment. Having plenty of gold, I bought the most expensive shield Caxton had available, since thus far, barring the gold weapons, more expensive has equaled better. it's a cool-looking shield with a starburst pattern. Thing is, I can't figure out why it cost so much. It's like 100k gold but doesn't seem to justify the price. Its stats are only so-so. It hasn't got any obvious enchant. The description mentions something about evil enemies being afraid of it or some-such, which would imply a Holy enchant, but it's not got one. I just took the description at its word, then, and figured it would frighten some foes or something.
Well, I've been using it for a bit, and I've not noticed any reaction from the enemies I've seen, so I'm scratching my head. Is it perhaps some specific type of enemy that it affects? Or maybe something changes when you upgrade? I've only got it to one star atm, since I don't have the materials to go further. I'm hoping I didn't waste my money. I was going to switch my pawn back to fighter when I was done and returned to MK class and give it to her. Now I'm thinking I'll have to buy and upgrade some other shield.
(Unrelated, I just yesterday discovered that you can skip upgrade levels. Like, If you have the materials and money for a 3-star upgrade, you can skip one and two star upgrades, even if you don't have the materials for them! I've saved a lot of cash already.)
