Anyone know of anything a Paladin shouldnt miss out on at the fest? I am having lots of fun walking around browsing and was wondering what everyones favorite things were. I got one of the 2HB icons and seriously love it. The burlap baldric from Asketi shop is huge if anyone wants a cheap option for holding lots of things. It fits icon but not my khuj. Theres a lot of HX options but I dont know how to tell if one is better than another really. Are the leaf head bolts any good?

The shields in the Abandoned Dragon are worth buying. The defenses appraise the same as the warrior tower shields that everyone was selling for 300 plat. The trade-off is that the shop shields have slightly more hindrance in exchange for higher construction. There are socketed shields and un-socketed shields in the shop. The socketed shields weigh an additional 20 stones (200 stones total) over the un-socketed ones (before you put a gem in them) and have a higher construction value.

There are some small target shields in the shop as well, but I'd probably stick with a tanned buckler if thats your thing.
