Can only upgrade from Exceptional to Elite if you're on ladder.

1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon = Exceptional Version of Weapon
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example an Axe is turned into a Cleaver. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor = Exceptional Version of Armor
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example Quilted Armor is turned into Ghost Armor. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. So you cannot for example use this formula to transform Greyform into The Spirit Shroud. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon = Elite Version of Weapon (Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example a Cleaver is turned into a Small Crescent. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Exceptional Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor = Elite Version of Armor (Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example Ghost Armor is turned into a Dusk Shroud. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

Then Zak is not the shield for you Look for smite damage on elite shields.

y dont u just ask another 1 of ur ''Friends''' for a exile and then u will have one.......

We can't help you there Post up some stuff in the FTA threads or something. A dragonscale or Alma negra is probably your best bet anyways. Oh, and try the non-class-specific shields too. I've heard that the smite damage on a SS is not too bad (I could be wrong).

***note that HoZ is noted as Gilded Shield. If upgraded into a Zakarum Shield, it will probably have the same Smite Damage as the Dragonscale.


As you can see, Dragonscale and Alma Negra lead in the Unique Smite Damage shields department.

Now for the base items:

Sacred Targe
Smite Damage: 22-70

Sacred Rondache
Smite Damage: 35-58

Kurast Shield
Smite Damage: 10-82

Zakarum Shield
Smite Damage: 46-46

Vortex Shield
Smite Damage: 5-87

All of the smite damage of these shields are at an average of 46. So it's pretty much all up to you. If you want to take a gamble, go for an Exile Vortex Shield. Or If you want a VERY precise smite damage, go for an Exile Zakarum Shield.

The cheapest bet would be to go for a Dragonscale or use your Alma Negra, or get an ethereal Zod'ed one (which can be a lot more expensive) Other than that, Eth Exile shield is the way to go. On my current knowledge, Eth item increases all mods except durablilty by 50%, meaning it could be able to increase the SMITE damage of an Eth shield by 50%. If so, any runeword/unique paladin shield would do.

[iamslipper]

try and find some rare shields, some guy gave me a rare pally shield, i can use at lvl 47 adn it has higher smite damage than any of those, i thnk its an exceptional item, not an elite, but it does something around 75-80 damage on the shield, so keep your eyes open for one

[Rapta111]

If you like cheap, yes, you should get rares, but a dragonscale or alma negra is still good
