Shield mastery _requires_ a shield for it to work.
So I highly doubt that it can give you access to shields.

Well that did not seem to take long, good job and congrats on taking prime evil down.
Good luck with the scales! :p

My Etrian Odyssey team was a mix of characters that instantly somehow reminded me of something iv already seen and the other half being characters that I kind of named by their classes, because they didn't have anything that gave me these "ah, its THAT character" moment, it helped me to re...

The decorations are something you buy from Japan I'm afraid. Given that, they're not harder to get in Finland than in other parts of the world that aren't Japan itself. We live in magical internet times. I'm pretty damn paranoid when it comes to buying stuff from internet, specially if its a site I...

Although I couldn't resist it when I saw my Zelda edition 3DS on the street (kinda hard to preorder this comparing to MH edition), I'd say ordinary 3DS isn't that bad, because you can decorate it with any case you want (like this ), and that's something I don't think I can do with a limited edition...

Okay, by "books" you mean stuff like the "weapon tome's" that can be found in the sea map as well? No, I meant Awwww yeaaaah, it was well worth grinding agility/power books for my buccaneer Those kinds of books als thanks~ No problem! Aaaaah... THOSE books :D Once again, thanksi...

Okay.. so, the game gets (European)release soon.. that's all good n shit but ehhh... I have a serious problem. 1# I don't have 3ds yet 2# I don't want to buy a regular 3ds 3# I am aware of incoming limited edition pokemon 3ds xl release but... that's when the new pokemon x/y games get released, that...

I have no idea what I can get from them by trading. Sup. There's like, 5 books you can get off them through trade, as well as Amritas... and I think there are a couple other things I'm forgetting. Madoras or Nectalls... something aoe. Overall it's probably inefficient to waste time doing trades, si...

I remember myself grinding levels in the last stratrum near the healing well. Is it the best? No idea but, it worked for me. As for the retiring I dont remember too well, I dont even remember how many extra levels can you gain with retiring, somehow i have this image that you can get only 1 extra le...

Awwww yeaaaah, it was well worth grinding agility/power books for my buccaneer, I should also add that the crush/pierce amulets were also extremely usefull. In other words, all 3 dragons have been defeat, it took me long but now its finally done and I'm pleased. :3 But, no time to rest, its time to ...

I remember getting one of those items once. I don't recall what trade I made but it wasn't worth the time. Then again, I never got past the fourth stratum, so it probably was only a bad trade because it was early in the game. Yeah, I'm kind of fearing that I'm gonna get some other items that I can ...

Heya folks~ its been a while. I kind of had a long break from EO III but im back at the grinding and working on dem dragons but, lets cut the herpa derp talks and get to the question: In the sea map where you sail around in the sea, there are these merchant ships that wish to trade with you, I'v nev...

Greetings my fellow European EO fans, a Finnish gaming magazine has mentioned that EO IV European release date (currently) will be 30th of August, assuming that everything goes smoothly. Just wanted to come by and say this, its kinda weird that they havent said anything about this @ NIS america, I m...
