Armor and Weapons

You have 8 total slots for armor. They are:

• Chest
• Hands
• Head
• Arms
• Legs
• Feet
• Shield
• Back

Only one piece of armor can occupy a slot at any given time. There are also class limitations on armor pieces you can wear.

• Journeyman: leather armor, some metal armor, some shields.
• Mages: bracers and boots only, no metal armor.
• Thieves: no shields, no metal armor.
• Fighters : no armor restrictions.
• Priests: no armor restictions.

Note: there are rumored to be magic armors that can be worn, that normally could not be worn by a specific class.

The weapons you can use are also limited by number of hands necessary and by your class. A shield takes up one hand slot. You may have a ranged and a melee weapon equipped but both must be able to cope with the shield you may have.

The following combinations work:

• 1-handed melee weapon, shield, 1-handed range weapon.
• 1-handed melee weapon, no shield, 1-handed or 2-handed range weapon.
• 2-handed melee weapon, no shield, 1-handed or 2-handed range weapon.

The rules roughly are as follows for the classes.

• Journeyman: simple melee weapons, slings, no bows.
• Mages: daggers, staves, slings.
• Thieves: one handed edged weapons, staves, slings, bows.
• Priest: blunt weapons only, slings, no bows.
• Fighters: no weapon restrictions.

Note: there are rumored to be magic weapons that can be equipped, that normally could not be used by a specific class.

Equip both your melee and ranged weapons at the same time, use the "Combat Toggle" to choose which to use in combat. (see User Interface->Combat Toggle)
