Cheap Diablo 2 Remastered Gold - How to Get 4 Socket Shield – Diablo 2 Resurrected Spirit Shield guide

Diablo 2 Resurrection may have updated visuals and some minor gameplay tweaks, but the system works exactly the same as the original. This includes rules for slot items and drop rates.

If you want to get the Spirit Shield in Diablo 2 Resurrected, you need to get a 4 socket shield to place the appropriate runes into it. This is significantly more difficult to say than to do, because you have to go through a lot of trouble to get a four-socket shield in D2R if you’re anything other than a paladin.

Both 4-socket one-handed swords and 4-socket shields are desirable early-game primarily for the Spirit runeword, which has similar properties when created in a sword or a shield, namely +2 to All Skills, +25%-35% Faster Cast Rate, +22 Vitality and +89-112 Mana. With a relatively low level requirement of 25, you’re just not going to find anything better at the time, or in the cases of shields, perhaps not ever. Since the highest rune requires is Amn, it’s also not unlikely that you’ll find one just by playing through Normal difficulty, but failing that, Nightmare [Countess] will regularly drop them.

How to Make and Use Spirit Runeword Weapons in Diablo 2 Resurrected?
To make Spirit Runeword you will need to combine Tal + Thul + Ort + Amn in Diablo 2 Resurrected. That means to get weapons like shields or swords with Spirit in D2R, you will need exactly 4 sockets to hold these four runes.

How to Get 4-Socket Shield in Diablo 2
If playing as another class, like the "Javazon" Javelin Amazon build, there are only 3 Shields that other classes can get 4 sockets on:

•     Monarch Shield
•     Aegis Shield
•     Ward Shield

Players should try and find a Monarch Shield to create a Spirit Shield with, as it has the lowest strength requirement at 156. It's a great piece of equipment to have, whether playing as the worst or best class in Diablo 2. The character must be at least Level 54 to equip the Monarch.

Even then, your need a level 54 character to equip it. To make things even worse, the shield needs to be at least level 40 to roll four sockets. If you get one that has less than four, you can use Larzuk or the Horadric Cube (1 Normal Monarch Shield above level 40 + 1 Perfect Ruby + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Tal Rune) to reroll the number of sockets. Some good places to farm the Monarch shield include the Secret Cow level, The Pits in Tamoe Highland, and the Ancient Tunnels in the Lost City.

Monarch is not class-specific and is the lowest weight designation shield in D2R. So the Monarch is the best 4 Socket Shield to get in Diablo 2 Resurrected, considering the lowest Strength requirement. Monarch is the elite variant of a Kite Shield. Ward is an elite type Gothic Shield, but are Monarchs due to high strength requirement. Apart from this, the Aegis shield requires much higher strength and they lack in defense in addition to high movement speed reduction.

Alternatively, players can find someone to trade with in Diablo 2: Resurrected to acquire a Spirit Shield or Monarch Shield, but this will likely cost high-level resources or items. It's also a very risky venture, as trading with strangers can very easily turn into a scam. It's far safer to trade with friends.
