Hey there 
I remember reading somewhere that there is a rare chance for specific low rew shields to drop in early NF areas and even Kourna. Since reading that I'm hording many shields which may or may not be worth but my Xunlai is overflooded with them by now and I'd like to get some clarification from a person who knows better. Which are the shields that are low req and not OS that are worth lots?
one easy rule to weed out the merchfood
The shields Req plus 8 should be it's armor value
Q0 = 8 Armor shield is max
Q5 = 13 AR
Q7 = 15 AR
Q8 = 16 AR etc
Below q3 won't drop in gold.
The ones i listed above 5/13, 7/15, 8/16 are wanted in tactics for pvp.
8/16 command is kinda wanted.
Moti/strength not so much.
But any req + 8 = its armor shield can be worth selling if gold, and even purple and blues can have a little value sometimes.
Popularity of the skin / rarity sets the value.
That one q0 ar8 insc blue kournan defender got a lot of attention because only kournan military drop the skin, and it's not easy to find the kournan military of the proper level to get one to drop.
(Only a few foes during one early NF primary quest).

I actually recently made a new NF born character just for a couple NF only quests (ok, it was to farm Bobos mostly).
I only really had a few NF ones before and i did most side quests on them years ago, or their inventory is full of random hoarded junk so i *can't* (lol) use them.
I'll try that one a bit sometime.
