Terror Shield

FAKE

The Terror Shield has the same shape as the Tower Shield and the Defender except it has a different pattern. It was created using a GW Texture Editor, the actuall texture (or Skin) for the Shield was created from two different wall textures from the Isle of the Dead Guild Hall, edited into a single nice looking texture, then imported into the game to replace the standard Tower Shield texture. Although the item does not exist, users who use the modified texture packs with the GW Texture Editor will see all Tower Shield's appear to be Terror Shield's. Because of the methods used to create the Terror Shield, it is easy to obtain screenshots and video's of the item in action, since it does exist on the users client.

During late December 2005 several people posted in Guild Wars related forums reports about having found this item dropping from Terrorweb Dryders within the Underworld. Screenshots and even a video have been provided as proof, however it has since officially been confirmed to be a hoax. Quote from Gaile Gray: "Confirmed. Not real. Sorry if anyone is disappointed. One of our team members who is very familiar with in-game items dropped me an email because he knew there was some question about this particular item, and he stated that we've not added a Terror Shield to the game." on the Guild Wars Guru Forums.
