The '''Shield of Recognition''' is a named [[Order Shield]] that is given out as a reward for completing the [[Gareth the Emissary of the RBC|Know thy Humility Quest]], otherwise known as the quest to receive a [[Cloak of Humility]]. 

*If the player accepts [[Gareth the Emissary of the RBC|Gareth's, Emissary of the RBC,]] offer of a reward for completing the quest, the Shield is the reward. 

*However, if a player humbly declines Gareth’s offer of a reward, he then instructs the player to visit the [[Shrine of Humility]] on [[Fire Island]], where the [[Blessed]], [[NO-DROP]] Grey Cloak that was given to the player earlier as a quest item is transformed into a Cloak of Humility.

The Shield of Recognition is, in essence, a boobie prize for those players who do not fully understand the humility required to win, or merit, a Cloak of Humility. 

As the Shield of Recognition <i>is</i> a legitimate, if sarcastic, reward for completing the quest, many consider the shield as a component of the [[Virtue Armor Set]].
