Unless you have gold to burn, gambling for a JMoD is not recommended. Depending on your character level, the odds for a Kite Shield to roll as a Monarch range from 0.1% to 9.7% (level 67 to 99). Edit: As pointed out by u/srebrnyag vendor's do sell them but it is extremely rare. Vendors do not sell Monarch's (only Kite Shields) so shopping for a JMoD is impossible.

Minimum item level is 87 and above (quite rare).

JMoC - Jeweler's Monarch of the Colossus.

Minimum item level is 77 and above (same as a JMoD).

-30% Requirements (reduces str requirement from 156 to 110).However, these are not as popular or desirable as a JMoD, for example:

There are other useful modifiers that can spawn on a Monarch which are sought after. JMoD's are hard to come by and the odds or rolling one is 1/14,220. A higher chance to block eliminates the need to spend additional points in Dexterity which can be used for Vitality to max life. The Deflecting mod is useful to increase your block rate frames and also your chance to block - very useful stats for a PvPer. It is expensive to farm/trade for 4x perfect Facets, therefore, you want the best possible shield base to socket them into such as a JMoD. These are unique jewels that provide damage and pierce to a certain damage element as shown below:Įxample of a perfect Lightning die Facet. The only way to create a damage boosting shield is to socket Rainbow Facets in them.

Trang-Oul's Wing Cantor Trophy: -25% to Enemy Poison Resistance (Necromancer Only).

Phoenix RW: -28% to Enemy Fire Resistance.

Dragonscale Zakarum Shield: +15% to Fire Skill Damage (Paladin Only).

These stats are extremely useful for builds (especially PVP ones) that rely on this school of damage, such as Javazons, Light/Cold/Fire Sorcs, Fireclaw/Rabies Druids, Poisonmancers etc.īelow is a list of shields that do offer these type of stats: To begin with, there are very few shields in the game which offer +%XX to Fire, Cold, Lightning and Poison Skill Damage or -%YY to Enemy Fire/Lightning/Cold/Poison Resistance.

It is a Magic (blue) Monarch shield which spawn with the following mods: In this post, we will explore the Jeweler's Monarch of Deflecting which is abbreviated to JMoD. I made post on How to obtain a Lancer's Javelin of Quickness over here.
