Iron Buckler
Its lightness and curved center makes it excellent for deflecting attacks.
Iron Buckler is a buckler crafted at the Forge from 10 
Iron and 4 
Ancient Bark. It blocks for 28, weighs 4, holds 200 durability and upgrades to quality 3. Carrying it drawn costs 5% movement speed, the smallest penalty of any iron shield. Bucklers apply a larger bonus on a timed block than round or tower shields, so it staggers harder than its block power suggests while absorbing less on an untimed block.
The Forge of Potential refines it at any quality, including past its cap of 3, for 1 Iron Protection Idol a try and no other materials. No other station asks for the idol.
| Material | Quality 2 | Quality 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | 5 | 10 | 25 |
| Ancient Bark | 1 | 2 | 7 |
| Station level | Forge 3 | Forge 4 |
Each quality level adds 6 block and 50 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount and quality 3 twice that.
