Just finished the "Secret Map" quest and got the shield.
+2 Sta
+1 Wis
+5 Poison/Disease/Curse Resist
+300 Block rating
+ 19 Block Value
ELI5 how this is better than a Simple Ashen Bronze Tower Shield (13 AC 427 BR 44 BV) which is easily craftable... The Consecrated Shield seems underwhelming no?
Pre 1/7/25 NPC changes I camped Larc and killed him 40+ times. No Bone-Handled Axes dropped.
After the patch that apparently changed the loot table drop percentage, I started getting the Serrated Stone Spear way more often, but still no Bone-handled Axe.
I decided to farm Shield of Brambles with January 7 patch and it was nerfed hard, new stats are 0 armor 1sta 1con 162 block rating 8 block value, with a 2/3 dmg shield when used by a level 26 Pal and Shm testing.
Really not worth wearing unless you now get it during leveling.

Don't know. But the White Reedflower, found in SP as well, has the same tags, as well as a mention of smell.
Theory here :
At the Wildblood Exile camp there is a Mortar/Pestle on a table.
Not everyone can see it, and even though I get the hover hand I can not interact atm.
The Wildblood Exiles talk about the silent plains hearing and smelling you....
I have been there with the plants in my inventory, both with and without the buff from the Cradle
Something is coming...
You can see where these are on the map. In the box on the right, expand Mining then tick Padrium. You can then see them clustered around the following areas like so:

Looks like they're mostly in Mad Run, Hangorre, and BRK.
