Buy a shield from the stall network, normally they are cheaper than the ones you find at NPC vendors, and have better stats. Though with 10 shield elixirs, you are looking at no higher than +3, +4 if you're lucky. But if thats what your satisfied with, then go for it. Make sure to use lucky powders.

You'll have to use stones to change anything besides the +

You'd be better off buying a +3/5 shield from stallnetwork (default 'F' key).

The best characteristic of a shield is the blocking ratio, so try to improve with challenge stones.

I was wrong, it's indeed agility stones, not challenge stones, sry for the mistake. Challenge is changing the weapons crit.

If you need information about alchemy, tablets, where to drop the elements you can go on mmosite, they have a very good alchemy database.

For the stones, look here : http://sro.mmosite.com/alchemy/tablets.shtml

a tip for you and everyone really.

if you are buying a shield just look at the blocking ratio.
unless your 76+ IGNORE all shields with blocking ratio of 15 or under.
anything above 15, buy it if you can! then use shield elixers to + it to +3 or +4 or even +5 (go for +7 if you can afford to do it.)
then add blues. str and int. then whatever else.
