About Zingaran Mercenary Shield
Zingaran Mercenary Shield is a Shield in Conan Exiles. It deals 13 light damage, 13 heavy damage, and 12.15% armor penetration. It is a Tier 1 item.
Zingaran Mercenary Shield is a craftable weapon — it is produced at a crafting station rather than dropped by enemies. It is part of the "Battle Pass: Age of War - Chapter 4" DLC, so players without that content cannot obtain it. Tier 1 places it in the lower band of the game's weapon progression.
Its base damage of 13 ranks #60 of 87 Shield entries tracked here. It has a modest 12.15% armor penetration, 10 poise damage that helps interrupt enemies, and 1250 durability before it needs repair. At 2.31 weight it is light to carry.
Carried off-hand to block and shield-bash; pair it with a one-handed weapon for a defensive bruiser build.
Verdict: Overall Zingaran Mercenary Shield is a middle-of-the-pack option among Shield weapons in Conan Exiles, and being craftable makes it easy to replace if it breaks.
