Shields | Elder Scrolls Online Wiki

Shields in Elder Scrolls Online grant the player further Armor protection from damage (they are also required to use One-Handed and Shield Skills). Blocking with a Shield generally is more effective than blocking with a weapon(s). Shields can be crafted by Woodworkers, drop from bosses, be found in chests, acquired from vendors or Guild Merchants, be acquired from PvP Reward Bags or PvP vendors or be awarded in Pledge Chests. The tables below reflect the values for all craftable Shields in the game. For information on other Shields, please see the Sets page. Please note that crafted Shields (and Armor) have a slightly higher Armor values than others in Elder Scrolls Online. The values are roughly 2 levels higher than their counterparts. The Shields below can also be crafted as part of a Set. To see which sets, and where these can be crafted, please see the Set Bonus Crafting Locations page.
