- While the shield is being worn on the back, backpack items will be disabled from view until the player enters combat, upon which the backpack will reappear. Upon sheathing the shield, the backpack will disappear again.
When unsheathing the shield while standing still, backpack items might be on top of the shield as it's drawn, but quickly snap onto the back.
