Ya. They really should consider remaking this quest.
The shield is excellent.
The runes are "so-so".
The gold is horrible.
I'd much rather see some race restricted items, equal to the shield.
Dwarf shield:
+8 defense
+1 morale to dwarfs
Human lance(?)
+4 attack
+3 defense
+1 speed and initiative to cavalry (?)
Elven chain mail:
+3 int
+3 defense
+20% resistance to magic (?)
Just to add some class specific items
