Here is the run down of damage, and location from each type of Shield spike:
- [Iron Shield Spike] (8-12 damage), BoE world drop from Level 25-35 mobs, found easily on the AH.
- [Mithril Shield Spike] (16-20 damage), BoE Rare world drop from level 35-45 mobs, found sometimes on AH
- [Thorium Shield Spike] (20-30 damage), BoE rare world drop from level 58-60 mobs, also dropped by Master Elemental Shaper Krixix, and Emeriss, very rarely found on AH. Good luck getting this one.
- [Felsteel Shield Spike] (26-38 damage), bought from vendor after exalted status for Thrallmar/Honor Hold. Mats are expensive, and the rep grind is hard, so this items sells for a high price in AH, but is rarely found due to honor requirements needed to make it.
When you have put it on your shield, it says "Iron Spike (8-12)". :)
