Welcome,

I have eagerly been playing Vagrant Story for the last month to achieve an "Ultimate Damascus Dread Shield" (Damascus Dread shield with all stats equal to 100) following the "Ultimate Armor FAQ by SRiesterer" guide uploaded in GameFAQs (that I slightly modified).
I began with raising the "Class" and "Affinity" values of the 6 Damascus Casserole shields (Citadelle in the French version) got from previous games then I got in order:
*One additional Damascus Casserole shield from a treasure chest,
*5 additional Damascus Casserole shields by replaying 5 new games,
*8 wooden Casserole shields by combination,
*12 wooden Kite shields by combination to fill the container with 32 shields.
I was able to make a wooden Kite shield per day, which takes almost 4 hours to do.

--------------------------------------------

The first five minutes of the video show the routine to do in order to collect the various wooden shields required to do a "perfect" shield:
* Wooden Targe "farming" routine from 00:00 to 01:00;
* Wooden Pelta and Buckler "farming" routine from 01:15 to 02:15;
* Wooden Circle "farming" routine from 02:40 to 04:45.

--------------------------------------------

The sequence from 06:30 to 08:00 shows the final combinations to make a Damascus Dread shield.

--------------------------------------------

The part from 08:30 concerns an alternate conception of perfect equipment set: the equipment set is selected so as to allow Ashley to reach the highest statistical total. I used then some pieces to transform the "Dread" helm and Armor into "Hoplite" equipments, the Dread Leggings into Jazeraint Legging, while the remaining shields were used to make an "ultimate" Damascus Jazeraint shield instead of a Dread one.

Note that it is possible to me to make a Wooden Hoplite shield by using 9 wooden shields from the 32 in the container. Such a shield provides the highest "Int" defense.

--------------------------------------------

Besides the shield, Arthuros gems were obtained but no additional weapons or armors were combined since the previous video.

--------------------------------------------

I improved later this save file by collecting dozens of Damascus Plate Mails in order to have a body equipment set of 137 DP (which is the max displayable value for a body equipment set but not the true max DP value; 137 as "shown" DP means a "true" DP value ranging from 13601 to 13701); the steps are represented by the next three videos of my Vagrant Story playlist:

The video uploaded in November 2016 contains (in its description) information and links about how to reach the TRUE max DP value (also shown as 137 but equal to 13699) for a -perfect- body equipment (this requires 4 or 6 hundreds of Damascus Plate Mails instead of dozens according to combination plans I conceived but not tested):

I conceived in December 2013 plans to forge the different ultimate shields the player wants to achieve, namely Wooden Hoplite (for best intelligence), Damascus Jazeraint (for best overall stats) and Damascus Dread (for best strength). These plans are inspired from the plan of SRiesterer/Emile Lide (GameFAQs) but allow forging the ultimate shields more easily than the plans that can be found in the guides uploaded in GameFAQs as of December 2013.
