'''(Description WIP)''' - The Super Novice can take one of two routes - Mage or Physical. The Mage Hyper Novice will go through many difficult trials along the way, but by transcending above the challenges, learning from other classes and Breaking the Rules along the way, they triumph, going from Super to Hyper, and I got writer's block. I still wonder what rules are they breaking... The rules of physics, the rule of law... or the rule of er... I don't know.

|Cursed Knight Shield or Illusion Silver Guard still out of reach? The Novice Shield is still decent, thanks to its 20% resistance against all elements except Neutral.
|Illusion Silver Guard, Magic Absorber, Glacier Shield or Mad Bunny-LT still out of reach? The Novice Shield is still decent, thanks to its 20% resistance against all elements except Neutral. It may also help in reducing, or even fully negating Lasgand's Earth and Fire element attacks when paired with the right equipment and cards.

|A good alternative to the Cursed Knight's Shield and Purified Knight's Shield, it reduces Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay and can be enchanted. Highly recommended to refine this to +11 and get 2 Spellbound Nives.

|The more defensive oriented shield. Upgrade it to Grade C and refine it to +12 to take advantage of {{#item:300379}}'s damage reduction bonuses. Focusing on the more defensive enchants provides A LOT of damage reduction plus a HUGE quality of life improvement - over 100 Hard MDEF, which means complete immunity to a myriad of annoying bad status effects like Stone Curse, Freeze, and more!

|Climbing noises not included. One of, if not the best-in-slot footgear due to the huge FCT reduction and MATK bonuses, but at the cost of increased SP consumption. It is highly recommended to give this thing a C-grade at the very least for the big 1-second Fixed Cast Time reduction.
