The '''Third-age kiteshield''' is a [[pay-to-play|members-only]] piece of [[armour]] that is part of the [[Third age warrior armour|Third Age warrior]] set. Players need at least 65 [[Defence]] to wield it. To obtain one, the player can either complete a Level 3 [[Treasure trail]] or trade with another player. It is among the most expensive rewards from a treasure trail.

This shield is the fifth strongest shield in the game, beaten by the fully charged [[Dragonfire shield]], the [[Elysian spirit shield]], the [[Divine spirit shield]], and the [[Chaotic kiteshield]]. It is also beaten in range defence bonus by the [[Crystal shield]], the [[Granite shield]], and the [[Toktz-ket-xil]].

Interestingly enough, the statistics on the 3rd Age Kiteshield resemble square shield rather than kiteshield. It has an equal stab and ranged defence bonus, and its crush defence is lower than stab defence.

The odds of getting a piece of third-age armour are between 1/100,000 and 1/1,000,000.{{CiteForum|author=Mod Maylea|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5t5rruBYB|title=Treasure Trails Q&A Answers!|forum= News & Announcements|postdate=28th of September 2010|date=03:14, July 3, 2011 (UTC)}}

==Trivia==
*Although the third-age kiteshield resembles a teardrop shield, it is still called a kite shield.
*Due to the recent armour revamping the new steel kite shield closely resembles the third-age kite shield. though this might change should third age armour also get a major revamp.
*The third-age kiteshield may be based off shields worn by men in King Harold's army during the Battle of Hastings, as depicted by the Bayeux Tapestry.
