Items and Equipment Overview

How item types, inventory actions, equipment slots, and gear rules fit together.

Overview

Items are the foundation for character power, progression, crafting, storage, and trade. The item model supports combat stats, weight, rarity, requirements, equipment slots, stack sizes, containers, use effects, use-with interactions, and attached gems.

Use the Inventory button to open your backpack view, and the Equipment button to open your equipped gear view. For searchable item data, use the Items database. For craftable outputs and ingredients, use the Recipes database.

These actions cover inspection, moving items between containers, equipping gear, using consumables or tools, opening containers, reading information items, applying use-with interactions, and detaching gems.

Equipment slots

Equippable items fit into slots such as:

  • Head
  • Neck
  • Torso

Equipment rules check that an item can go into its allowed slot, that the character can equip that item type, and that minimum level or skill requirements are met.

Hand and weapon rules

Hand slots have special rules:

  • Two-handed weapons require both hands.
  • A two-handed weapon cannot be equipped alongside a shield.
  • Equipping a two-handed weapon can automatically unequip existing hand-slot items.
  • Shields cannot be equipped while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
  • Some dual-wield rules are class-specific.
