This is a very, very nice aug.
Fits in different slots.
60 to own, 65 to enjoy, 70 to hail for the quest....
soe ROCKS! Just like those low level required augs in crystalos.
I enjoy the mindgames, Thats why I love EQ... It reminds me of a woman.

Heres a better idea. Instead of camping 18 named mobs in three different zones go to Field of Scale and camp an Ancient Bonegrinder and get
Bonegrinder's Bauble.
Thats a 25 AC 100 HP 100 Mana 7/8 type aug.
Bonegrinder's Bauble.
Thats a 25 AC 100 HP 100 Mana 7/8 type aug.

While that's all fine, well and good, the Bonegrinder's Bauble has a req lvl of 80. Whereas, this aug only has a req lvl of 60. The selection of augs with these kinds of stats at lvl 60 is slim, at best.
You must keep in mind, that not everyone desires to shoot to the highest level of the game. So, augs like this are worth the effort if you are one of those players.
Just my 2cp.

Why not get both augs? Seems to be the most intellegent response to the situation.

This aug is even more powerful than Bonegrinder's Bauble for casters (probably other classes as well). Main reason? This can go into Primary (since even most groupers have thier epics) OR Range slots. There are few augs in the game which are groupable that can go into those slots. I got tired of camping the zonewide rare out of FC, so I am doing this quest.
for a war, i believe the following is true
Relative value of defensive stats:
1 ac = 10 hp ( non shield ac )
1 avoid = 60 hp
1 shielding = 80hp
This means, 1 avoid = 6ac, and 1 shielding = 8 ac.
so for this aug,
10ac = 10ac
100hp = 10ac
1 shield = 8 ac
5 avoid = 30ac
So the defensive benefit of this aug is equivalent to a 30+10+10+8 = 58 ac aug.
A 58 ac aug is not a crappy aug, for a tank.
Avoidance is capped at 100, and shielding at 35, so this is only true if your not at or close to the cap. A fully crystallos equiped war ( from squires, not raid instance ) and fully equiped with Martial terrasteel, and epic 2.0, will have about 66 avoidance and 25 shielding ( assuming no avoidance or shielding augs, just hp or ac augs ). So this aug makes some sense.
But the much higher avoidance augs make more sense: Diamond studded coldain historical seal at 15 avoid ( 90 ac equivalent just from the avoidance! )
or the amethyst shard of relic ( also at 15 avoidance ). And both are much easier to get, I believe.

I follow a similar formula for choosing upgrades.
1 shielding = 10 avoidance = 15 ac = 90 hp
It worked pretty well.

FYI you cannot equate avoidance into melee mitigation. ac=melee mitigation lessoning the amount you are hit for. avoidance is the chance to avoide a melee attack all together.

For all this work this is a crappy aug.

So far after finshing Verg and Being through 5 of the pieces from Direwind...the Carrionmancer Marrowroot so far has been the longest camp for me, clearing the gnolls and golems and the piles of carrion, 6 hours in this camp today and 5 yesterday and no Marrowroot.
Is it possible after completing the Shield of the Otherworld, to re do the other augments? From my point of view the Disk of Warriors?

I tried patching all the information together in one post, which can be found at http://crucible.samanna.net/viewtopic.php?t=3446 . Requires you to camp a total of 18 named mobs in Vergalid, Direwind and Ashengate, so if you want this, there's work ahead of ya.

This item is obtained by getting a fourth task from Rokiln the Hunter, called "Shield of the Otherworld".
To get this task, simply say "tale" to Rokiln, same as getting the other disk tasks.
The task has only three steps; to hand in The Disk of Heroes, The Disk of Kings, and The Disk of Warriors.
Upon handing in all three completed disks to Rokiln, the task is complete and your reward is the Shield of the Otherworld aug.
