The odium ward is a range-class shield that requires at least 60 Defence to wield. It offers the best range bonus for the off-hand slot in the game. The ward is created from three components: the Odium shard 1, Odium shard 2 and Odium shard 3, all dropped by different bosses within the wilderness (Shard 1 - Chaos Fanatic, Shard 2 - Crazy archaeologist, Shard 3 - Scorpia).
When all three shards are present in the players inventory, they must travel to the Volcanic Forge on the most north-eastern part of the wilderness and forge the ward.
A player combines the three shards, creating the ward.
Players can use a ward upgrade kit, obtained from the Bounty Hunter Store, to cosmetically enhance the odium ward, creating an odium ward (or). This only alters its appearance, and becomes untradeable. It can be reverted, but the kit will not be retained.
Trivia
Despite appearing to be a solid shield, the odium ward offers no melee protection at all. This could have been to keep it in line with the combat triangle; the Malediction ward has a similar trait.
