The Lantern Shield is no longer an item that drops, nor is it able to carry a light source when it is spawned in, but can you please, please make this a functional item again? Being able to light the way in extremely dark areas and still maintain a shield instead of carrying a one-handed weapon in one hand and a torch in the other would be amazing. Or make it so you can block with torches effectively. This could even be a battle pass/Bazaar item. As a Bazaar item I would group it with other light sources that can be worn, or some kind of helmet with a lamp in it. But please don’t make them useless as actual armor.

Get a Glimmermoon.
I second that the lantern shield needs to come back in some fashion.

Has the Lantern Shield ever dropped or been a functional item? It hasn’t for as long as I’ve been playing.
Nevertheless, I’d be fine with it being properly implemented.
What I’d really like to see is though, is Sorcery be expanded into enchantments, allowing us to enhance our gear in various ways. One enchantment, of course, would be making it glow.

It would be pay to win.
Same here 
.
But since it exists on admin panel i wouldn’t have an issue seeing it . There are people who love to use shield!
These about your wish fellow exile, for the rest blah blah to make it seem important, i won’t go this road again. Plenty weapons, armor pieces and items give night vision.
I have operational Lantern Shields from this mod: and they are admin drop only. Steam Workshop::Exile Nexus Weapons Mod v6.9.0

This one likewise would very much enjoy a shield that is also a light source.
As +illumination is a Legendary trait on a few weapons, Glimmermoon (one handed axe), Forgelight (maul) and Jedi’s Copyrightsabre (two handed sword), it would be magnificat to see it move to a shield.

Funcom would make less money if Lantern Shield is a light source, where they can sell BP or bazaar for torch skins. Funcom literally made us pay for the base game, and the DLCs, and now the bazaar items + battle passes. They ready to leech all your money.
Daggers would be nice too. I’ve mentioned it in the past and it’s a nice feature for dual wielding.

Could you imagine the flickering?
It’s already funny enough when using Glimmermoon as a light source and attacking.
Daggers would basically be a strobe light.
This is not a statement against them.

How about just having a armor/weapon modification for glow trait? Consists of alchem base, glowing goop, and tar and the piece faintly glows. Make it stackable effect so you can have multiple pieces giving larger radius of light.

While this one likes that idea quite a bit, there are two notes…
- Those two options are not mutually exclusive.
- Adding a new subsystem is a slightly larger ask from the devs than adding a feature to an existing item.
If you use mods, this will cover your need:

Oh, that would be cool. New “Legendary” shield with glowing effect, like “Radium Guardian Head” has. Named for example “Guardian Gaze”.
Just give epilepsy warning before you start PvPing.

I have played 1200 hours and never met it.
And I’m not telling about small radius of light around you, I mean forward conus of light like guard head has. Like golem head mounted into shield 
That would be amazing - you close yourself with shield and light will be pointing forward your enemy. I already foresee that “dark” epic battles )
So a Laser tag game then

It all depends on how you perceive it.
Red Mother and Thag are epic.
