Battle Tendency

Battle Tendency is a Unique Shield found in the City of Shifting Waters.

Lore

"Squabbles for power often lead to the worst of consequences. Little did they understand the unfortunate positioning of the Doorway in their city."

Battle Tendency can be obtained after completing a hidden item hunt throughout instances of the City of Shifting Waters dungeon, first beginning after finding three lore items that can spawn rarely in chests, those being the Viridian Den, Blood Stained Magician's Garb, and Sacred Ankh.
The second step involves bringing each item outside of the dungeon and to respective NPCs in the overworld, and advancing their dialogue for biome related Sigils. The Viridian Den can be handed to First Mate Jones in Mistport for the Sigil of Viridia. The Blood Stained Magician's Garb can be handed to Frostgate Magehunter Louis in Frostgate for the Sigil of Chillwind. Finally, the Sacred Ankh can be brought to Archivist Nyra in Alnera for the Sigil of Ishnir.
With all three Sigils, returning to the City of Shifting Waters dungeon and locating a utility room with Cornifer will activate a unique dialogue where-in you will recieve Battle Tendency and a trade to purchase more.
