Equipment Slots (Main Slots)
| Equipment Slot | Allowable itemTypes | Example Equippable Items | Explanation/Notes | Programmer's Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | headgear | Hats, Hoods, Helms | |||
| Neck | misc | Necklace | There are very few magical items in Althas. Necklaces are generally more for cosmetics then gameplay. | Not implementing right now because of the redundant note. Can easily add later | |
| Body (Clothing) | clothing | Clothing | Will only show if no Armor or Robe is equipped. | ||
| Body (Armor) | armor | Chain Mail, Plate Mail, etc | When Armor is equipped, Clothing is not shown. | ||
| Body (Overlayer) | cape_cloak | Capes, Cloaks, Robes | Capes and Cloaks would be useful for disguises and defense against the elements, not so much Combat. | When a Robe is equipped, Clothing and Armor are not shown. A Cape or Cloak would go on the back, and then Clothing or Armor is shown. | |
| Backpack | bag | Rucksack | Can only have 1 Weapon Sheath at one time | Naming this slot Backpack in implementation right now, since Back 1 and Back 2 would get confusing | |
