Do Shielding Wards work on equips you can't equip?

For instance, I want to use the Maple Points I'll be receiving (assuming Nexon doesn't up) on Shielding Wards to hopefully finish my Glove up with 30%s and most of the accounts I'm using won't be able to equip the Glove, so would Legendary Spirit work or is there another way?

Legendary Spirit works.

Well so much for that bright idea. Only 3/8 of my accounts received the 5k Maple Points and I just realized the next 5k Maple Points will be awarded during the same server check that Wards will leave the Cash Shop.

According to the notice, wards should be here till the 28th.
The mp will be distributed next week(21st) o.o

Oh. I misread my calendar lol. Ok, cool, that works out perfectly then.
Also, it seems it was just taking Nexon a while to distribute all the Maple Points, because all but one of my accounts received them and the character was below Level 30, so I think that's why it didn't, even though they didn't even list requirements in the event...
