Rune kiteshield

The Rune Kiteshield is a level 40 Defence shield that is equipped in the shield slot. It is one of the most basic shields for intermediate players on both Fortis: Economy and Fortis: Survival as it gives decent stats and does not require a very high level to wield. A Rune Kiteshield can be aquired by getting 97 Smithing, 3 rune bars and one hammer. Once a player has all those items, she or he can use use an anvil to create a Rune Kiteshield, granting the user X experience. A Rune kiteshield is also needed to summon the Animated rune armour, which grants you Warrior's Guild tokens which can be used to get defenders.

Trimmed & Gilded
A player may also aquire a trimmed and gilded version of the Rune Kiteshield, and can do so by finishing a level 3 clue scroll (Also known as "Hard") on Fortis: Traditional. In Fortis: Survival, a player may gild their Rune Kiteshield by melting 10,000 gold coins and using it on the Kiteshield.*

* This is a confirmed future update for Fortis: Survival.
