Ykesha wasn't intended to be killed, as stated by dev on eqlive boards... shield is not used for anything.

Ykesha was immune to nearly all forms of player-based magic and melee. It wasn't my intention that he be slain during the battle. He was combatable so that a slow stream of Frogloks would spawn nearby, attack him and quickly be splattered. However, there is a long standing tradition of creative players killing NPCs that were never intended to die (the Sleeper for example!) and Warlord Ykesha helped carry on that tradition. After hours of beatings by Frogloks and the boss NPCs it was possible to take him out.
The shield he carried was for looks alone. It has no stats and no purpose. We often create dummy items for NPCs to change their looks, like picks for miners, the Lifeguide that Firiona carried, 'burned out' epics for guildmasters and quest NPCs, and various weapons for base population.
Hope that answers all your questions.

a friend of mine linked me a sheild that was really nice. 95ac and 20 or so to all stats 300+to mana hp endu and some % stats. there was 2 of them. one for good and one for evil it looks like. i believe that if you give ykesha sheild to some unknown npc you might get one. just a guess though.
Anyone know what this is for?
