Wildfire lantern

[Nero]

I got two questions regarding the "wildfire lantern" which you can get in the upcoming Shrouded Sails event. Unfortunately, there is no artifact (or pirate hat) clicky on test center this time, which means I cannot test it personally.

I also assume that said wildfire lantern is identical to the one you could obtain during the Treasures of Demonic Forces event in 2021, which I completely missed. So maybe somebody who got the lantern at that time might fill me in as well.

1. Does the wildfire lantern count as a "lantern" or as a shield? The regular lanterns do not count as a shield, meaning my thrower can hold them without facing a HCI penalty.
2. Since nearly all lanterns I am aware of do not have a durability displayed (although another player recently posted here that some event lanterns might break even without showing a durability), can I repair the wildfire lantern with my tinkerer? Did anybody test if I can also apply powder of fortification on the wildfire lantern?

Thanks in advance!

The lantern functions as a shield (it has durability on it) and thus would need repaired.

Not 100% sure what tradesman would repair it though or if it would be eligible for powder of fort.

I finally tested it on TC. Tinker can repair it and POF can be applied. It also works as a shield item (not as a lantern).
