Nord Buckler
An effective method of protection, with sufficient skill.
Nord Buckler is a buckler with no bench recipe of its own: 
Cast: Nord Buckler is poured at a level 4 Black Forge from 10 
Bloodgold, 10 
Timberwood and one 
Mould: Nord Buckler, then hardened into the finished shield at a Frost Foundry, which burns 
Liquid Frost for 50 seconds to do it. It blocks for 88, trains Blocking and costs 5% movement speed, and at 4 weight it is the lightest of the three Nord shields. It has no bash damage, where the round and tower versions each deal 10, and like the round shield it parries. It upgrades to quality 3 at 5 bloodgold and 5 timberwood for the first upgrade and double that for the second, reaching 400 durability.
No bench makes this outright. The station recipe below only upgrades it; the piece itself is cast from a mould and hardened at a Frost Foundry.
50 seconds burning Liquid Frost turns the cast into the finished Nord Buckler. Upgrades then happen at the Black Forge, level 5 and up.
Listed at the Black Forge for upgrades only; the base amounts are what the cast above already cost. Per-level costs are in the table below.
Past quality 3, the Forge of Potential will take it one level further for 1 Bloodgold Protection Idol plus 20 Bloodgold and 20 Timberwood. No other station asks for the idol.
| Material | Quality 2 | Quality 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodgold | 5 | 10 | 25 |
| Mould: Nord Buckler | 1 | ||
| Timberwood | 5 | 10 | 25 |
| Station level | Black Forge 5 | Black Forge 6 |
Each quality level adds 6 block and 50 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount and quality 3 twice that.
With devcommands enabled, this drops Nord Buckler at your feet. The ID is case sensitive; the last number is the amount.
