---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Head | 2x2 | headgear | Hats, Hoods, Helms | |||
Neck | 1x1 | 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 (Armor) | 3x4 | armor | Chain Mail, Plate Mail, etc | When Armor is equipped, Clothing is not shown. | ||

A Cape or Cloak would go on the back, and then Clothing or Armor is shown. | |
Backpack | 2x3 | 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 | |

Left Hand Finger | 1x1 | misc | Rings | There are very few magical items in Althas. Rings are generally more for cosmetics then gameplay. | Not implementing right now because of the redundant note. Can easily add later | |
