R'das is aiming to expand her expertise as a blacksmith-armourer right now. She's recently started looking into making kite shields to try and capitalise on them because everyone's got their loins pointed firmly towards Ishgard right now, and kite shields are apparently popular there.

 

Problem is... she's never made kite shields before, and as such she needs some poor, hapless gladiator/paladin/adventurer to test out the few she's made to see what works and what doesn't. There will be IC payment involved. If you survive.

 

I'd recommend trying to contact me in game over trying to contact me here as my forum checking habits are totally non-existent. Any information about where R'das can be found is listed on muh wiki page, though she has put out a specific advertisement in the Gladiator's Guild if you just want to skip straight to it.

Well Nadine isn't much for using a shield herself, but she is an Ishgardian smith. She'd be happy to give R'das a few pointers...and possibly try out a few more advanced experiments of her own (such as enhanced fireproofing), if permitted.

You're actually just the person I was considering poking about something else, so this turned out convenient! I'll try and catch you ingame, timezones willing.
