'''Equipment''' refers to [[item]]s that can be placed directly into equipment slots on the [[character]]'s inventory screen. These include [[weapon]]s, [[off-hand]]s, [[armour (equipment)|armour]], and [[jewellery]].

__TOC__

==Equipping items==
An item is equipped when placed into a compatible equipment slot on the [[character]]'s inventory screen and the item or slot is not disabled. To equip an item, the character must meet or exceed the level and/or [[attribute]] requirements present on that item. If the character's level or attributes fall below the requirement at any point, the item will become disabled, causing the equipment slot to turn red, until the requirements are met again. Disabled items are no longer considered equipped, and any items socketed into them (e.g. [[gem]]s or [[jewel]]s) are also disabled. However, [[gem]]s socketed into disabled items will continue to gain experience. Certain items can also disable specific item slots instead, causing any item placed within them to be disabled. 

If a character's weapon is empty or disabled (or both weapons if [[dual wielding]]), they are considered [[unarmed]].

The term "equipped item" specifically only include [[weapon]]s, [[off-hand]]s, [[armour (equipment)|armour]], and [[jewellery]]. Items like [[flask]]s also have dedicated slots on the inventory screen, but are not technically considered equipped items. Gems and [[jewel]]s are also not considered equipped items.
