The Shut Gate is a Mortal Unique shield with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Nightmare, most often from N4 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 100, and there 0.3% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Dawnsworn Shield — step 6 of the Dawnsworn Shield line, item level 80 and up.
It always rolls the same numbers: +84 Armor, +40 Ward, +40 Magic Defense, +82 Armor, +45 Ward, +50% Guard Power, +594 Ward, +26% Cooldown Recovery and +50% Healing Power.
One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.
On top of that it carries The Shut Gate — Ward Pulse shelters 4 more allies over a 40% wider ring, but each ward is 30% thinner.
Wearing it hands you Ward Pulse.
“Nobody in. Nobody out. Everybody safe.”
