Toy Captain

Your mission is to recover a flawless sapphire.
Our semi-reliable sources have led us to believe that you'll
require an iron-shod mace and armor made from a single sapphire

God speed, Captain

General Strategy:

The recipe requires six Sapphire Shields and six Maces of St. Cuthbert.  Farm for these items first.  When you have a batch, smash the shields with the maces to obtain six flawless sapphires, one mace per shield to yield a flawless sapphire. 

> smash shield with mace

Go to the shop located in the southeast corner of Toy Land. Near closing time, follow the shopkeeper upstairs as he closes for the night. Purchase a lacquer from him for 1,000,000 gold coins.

Apply the lacquer you obtained from the Toy Land Shopkeeper to the Play-Doh shield and 6 flawless sapphire gems using the following command:

> apply lacquer shield

The make command then performs a dieroll in order to determine the final stats on the shield.  There is a small chance that you will obtain a !rest +2 dam +1dex shield.  Otherwise, you will get DAM variants ranging between -1 through +2 and DEX variants between -1 DEX and +1 DEX as a class restricted shield. That is, the character that makes the shield will determine the shield's class restriction. For example, if an antipaladin makes the shield, the shield will be a!

Good luck!
