What are the Shields in Rune Factory 5, and how to craft them?

Shields are one of the most necessary items in Rune Factory 5. While players can use different weapons when facing off against an enemy to attack, a Shield is required to block incoming attacks.

There are 26 unique and different Shields in Rune Factory 5. Each has a respective Recipe Level recommended for crafting the specific item.

Every Shield requires different ingredients for crafting, ranging from something as simple as Minerals for the Small Shield or Iron, Cheap Cloth, and Insect Carapace to forge the Cheap Shield.

Shields can be crafted at a forge with suitable raw materials and ingredients at the recommended level. The Forge can be acquired from either Palmo or Ryker as furniture, which gamers can put by renovating the shop.
