Spirit shield is one of the best items in Diablo 2 Resurrected. It can provide a range of bonuses, but the most valuable of them all is that it grants a +2 bonus to all skills. And the Spirit Runeword for shields is also the most popular and useful, it can also be used with swords. You just need to swap the shield for the sword, the rest of the Runeword and the recipe are exactly the same. However, it should be noted that this Runeword can only be used in Diablo 2's ladder, and in Diablo 2 Resurrected, it can be used in single-player games and non-ladder multiplayer games.

So how do you get a 4-socket shield? If you're not D2 Resurrected Items playing Paladin, there are probably only three types of shields that have four sockets: monarch, ward, and aegis. While all three have very high power requirements, most players will choose Monarch because it's at least vaguely realistic. However, these shields only drop in Hell, and there is no shortcut. You have to get a socket that's less than or equal to four, because there are less than four sockets, and you can ask Larzuk to raise his sockets to four in Act V.

But if you're Paladin, you'll have more options for shields, and you might as well get a 4-socket shield on Normal difficulty. If you're lucky, you can find one in the secret cow level, Acts IV and V in Normal, Nightmare, or any of the acts in Hell. If you only get a normal Paladin shield with D2R Items less than four sockets, you can also change it to four at Larzuk, but be aware that with the exception of the cow level on Normal difficulty, Acts I on Normal difficulty – Shields obtained in III cannot be upgraded to four sockets.

If you find it a hassle to get it in the game, then you can go to MMOWTS, they will sell a variety of different Diablo 2 Resurrected Items, which will also have the shield you want. You just need to go to their official website to place an order and you can get them within fifteen minutes.
