The signature feature of Tower Shields is that you can print a banner onto them, giving each shield a personal crest.

How to apply a banner:

  1. Craft or find a Tower Shield (a Wooden Tower Shield is the easiest to make first).
  2. Make a banner with the pattern and colours you want, using the normal banner and loom crafting.
  3. Combine the Tower Shield and the banner in a crafting grid. The banner's design is transferred onto the shield face.

The result is a Tower Shield that carries your flag, emblem, or team colours into battle. This is purely cosmetic - it does not change the shield's protection - but it is a great way to mark allies, factions, or your own personal look.
