A junky item with morale

[camelotcrusade]

Usually only good items have morale scores because it's more like a penalty than a benefit. But recently I came across an item that's terrible but it has a morale score. It's a leather shield, viking faction, that gives you 1 measly defense and has 100 morale. It says it "wears out after prolonged use."

I swear I found something similarly weak, too, but I don't remember where it was. If I ever find it again, I'll update.

Anyway, the question I want to ask is whether anyone has actually worn out the shield. Does it turn into something cool? Or is it really that bad?

I also remember that different racial items "liked" different things to satisfy their morale. I'm going to guess Vikings like killing things (vs. letting enemies run) but I don't really know. Anybody got the infoz?
