OK, yx and I picked up this ethereal vortex shield while doing a pit run for experience. Primarily I picked it up since it's the first time I've ever seen a vortex shield drop (horribly rare things), and lo! I never knew the trade value was so high! In exchange for this ordinary-looking shield, I received:

Upgraded Herald of Zakarum socketed with Um rune
40% magic find War Traveller boots
2 Paladin offensive skill charms
1 Paladin Combat skill charms

Which is so much more than all my current riches added together! Shall trade off some of these to buy things for yx's assasin!
