Upgrades

Looked around, and somebody on this wiki said what they were on his user page.

• Small Shields: Composite Shield, Targe Shield, Heater Shield, Round Shield
• Light Shields: Valkyrie Shield, Avon Shield, Kite Shields, Tikka Shield
• Heavy Shields: Vales Shield

(I bolded what I find to be the best in its category.) What bothers me is that an easy to get shield, like the Vales Shield which is sold at NPCs, is heavy, but the Composite which is difficult to obtain is small, not even light, just small.

Edit: On a side note, he didn't say Demonic was in any of the three categories, and I can't find my source saying it was Light and not heavy. Also, not sure where the Guard Cylinder and Rebis Guard Cylinder lie in all this.

I've heard from a few different people the guard cylinders do not count as shields and don't benefit from shield mastery. Not too sure about tiny humans/elves being able to use charge though.

You can use charge with guard cylinders as a non-giant, also, Defense is boosted.

Confirmed, both Guard Cylinders are boosted by both Guard Cylinder Master and Shield Mastery. As for if they're considered small or light shields, that is unknown.
