    In a normal taming cane situation, the bait would be in your shield slot. Hence; you would not be able to hold, or see, any shield.

    This isn't technically a bug, as you can still wield your bait with a shield equipped using this particular taming cane.

    If anything about this were a bug, it would be the shield we're not able to equip with a 'normal' taming cane. :)

    A bug is something that causes an incorrect or unexpected result, or behaves in unintended ways. While there is nothing technically wrong with this issue, it produces an unintended result. And though it does not effect gameplay, it can still be considered a bug. I believe these are called visual bugs.

    We are not supposed to be able to equip a shield when using a Taming Cane + bait. (Intended Functionality).

    The bug is not the visibility of a shield we are "not normally able to have..",... sigh..

    Sure, they can choose (as developers) to make it visible. It's their game, but it's pretty clear we're not 'technically' intended to equip a shield with a taming cane if the bait is 'supposed to be' in the slot being occupied by said shield. .. ^_^

    Now we can argue over the visibility of the bait instead.. ^_^ LOL (smile)..

    Ah yes, I see what you mean. However, there is reason to suggest they did intend players to equip this particular taming cane alongside shields.

    This cane has a secondary function as a wand, and it is common to equip a shield with a wand. It could be they accounted for this by allowing the bait to be absorbed by the cane and leave the left hand available for this very purpose.

    Therefor this visual glitch would have been an unintended result for this intended feature.
