Equipment
Although much of your character’s power comes from your attributes and
abilities, the equipment you wear is just as important to your growth.
In many cases, your equipment can improve your character dramatically by
giving you a great DPS boost, enhancing your attributes, improving your
armor and defense, or boosting your spell power and resistances.
On the Character Info window, there are equipment slots on either side of
your character model. These equipment slots correspond to different parts
of your character’s body. The slots on the side are for armor and jewelry.
The four slots at the bottom are for your hand-held equipment, which can
include melee weapons, ranged weapons, shields, ammunition, wands,
and miscellaneous objects.
ARMOR SLOTS
The different body parts on which you can equip armor are your head,
shoulders, back, chest, wrists, hands, waist, legs, and feet. You can
have one piece of armor per slot.
Of these armor types, the ones that are easiest to acquire, and thus
available at early levels, are back, chest, wrists, hands, waist, legs, and
feet armor. Later you begin to find rings and shoulder armor. At midlevels
you find necklaces and helmets. At higher levels you find trinkets.
SHIRT SLOT
Your character has a slot to wear a shirt. However, shirts are usually
decorative and have no in-game benefits. They can, however, make
you stand out among your fellow players. Tailors can make a variety of
different colored shirts, and you can also find shirts as quest rewards
or treasure.
TABARD SLOT
One slot on the left is for a tabard, which is a vestment with your guild
crest. You can purchase a tabard even if you are not in a guild. If you
do, it will appear as a plain gray tabard. It will acquire your guild
insignia when your guild chooses a design or when you join a guild
that already has a design.
JEWELRY
There are two slots for a character to wear rings. Rings are rare magic
items that you can win as quest rewards or find as drops from
monsters. There is a wide variety of rings. Some improve attributes and
statistics, while others give you the ability to heal or do spell damage.
Rings do not show up on your character when you wear them,
although they are equipped.
