VIP stuff can drop from the lv 200 alien quest if anyone cares.

Shields are better because they're used for more jobs. Maximizer balls are for BaMs only. Shileds can be used as a secondary for F/P, i/L, bishop, Evan, and Blaze Wizard as well as BaM.
Get a VIP mage shield. They drop from the alien PQ. Throw on some int traces or find some shield magic attacks (krexel prequests give some).[/quote]

Let's not forget that they can be scrolled too unlike class specific secondaries.

Edit: Never mind I didn't see the last part of your comment about scrolling.

What I would do is just grab a VIP Mage Shield and prime it.

[quote=SoulStreak]These shields are great for looks but really pointless. Maximizer ball gives better raw stats and has the same potential tier... it's only 560k so you can buy a nice chunk and just pot+reveal until you get a decent one.

If you're truly going for a shield than go with what he said. If you aren't on Bera/scania you aren't getting anything decent though.[/quote]

Go ahead and try scrolling that maximizer ball,

Well thank god I am in Bera but all of the shield i have found are all scrolled already. I guess i'll just get a maximizer ball and still look through the FM. Thanks guys for responding (:

[quote=AkatsukiDark]Last Unwelcome Shield/VIP Shield/Fearless preludes are all acceptable tradable shields. (Fearless prelude is 10 slots but needs psok to trade)

Haven't seen last unwelcome/fearless but vip shields tend to go for 300-400 mill.[/quote]
