LOL, shields... I scrolled my shield for LUK. That's right, LUK! It barely cost anything because I only needed a couple of points to hold a Blue Marine, and the first 70% I tried worked. I'll probably be using this staff (or a better scrolled version) until 130, when I hope to have an Ice wand. :f6: Those don't require any LUK, so I may then start resetting mine... or I may not. My base LUK is 73 because I didn't know any better at first, and only stopped adding to it at level 70. 
Being cheap, I certainly don't plan to spend billions buying or making a shield. (I don't have billions, so that decision was easy.) This summer we'll see if we get the Magician Shields. If we do, things may get a lot easier. Buy shield scrolls when you can find them cheap, and hoard them for a few months while waiting for the anniversary. For end-game equipment, we will all want every point of Int and MA we can get, so you might as well start now.
(@FrozNlite, I hadn't noticed about the earring scrolls... now might be a good time to make me some better ones!)
