About Malediction ward

"An ancient, evil shield forged by Volcanic heat."

Malediction ward is the magic-leaning shield half of the Wilderness boss shard system, assembled by combining Malediction shard 1, 2, and 3 at the Volcanic Forge in the north-east Wilderness. With a +12 magic attack, +2% magic damage, and dragon-square-tier melee defence, it is the only off-hand magic option that offers a damage multiplier without the price tag of a spirit shield, making it the standard mid-budget shield for Slayer mages and mid-game magic content.

Market Strategy

  • Demand peaks with Wilderness boss hunting and Slayer magic tasks.
  • GE buy limit of 8 keeps merchanting thin and sensitive to wars.
  • Shard supply is risk-gated by Wilderness PKers, dampening output.
  • High alch of 27,000 gp is far below GE - not an alch target.

Trading Tips

Sum shard prices vs assembled ward to detect combine arbitrage windows.
Track Wilderness PvP activity - quieter weeks lift shard supply.
Spirit shield meta shifts (Arcane buffs/nerfs) move ward demand sharply.
