Arena:Equipment

The Equipment menu

The Equipment (or inventory) menu allows control of almost everything that your character carries except their clothing, which in Arena is not customizable beyond choosing either a mage (sub) class or a non-mage class.

This menu allows you to check the status and equip various weapons, armor and accessories that have armor rate bonuses or other abilities. It also allows you to see quest items and while escorting NPCs, which, when clicked on, will mention that the item (or NPC) cannot be equipped, saying "You cannot equip this item". Right clicking brings up a message to check the quest log, which refers to the journal.

Colors of items indicate different things:

• Orange indicates an unequipped item.
• Yellow indicates an equipped item.
• Blue indicates an equippable or usable item with an unknown magical effect.
• Red indicates a usable item or a quest item.

The inventory can only hold a maximum of 40 items, regardless of your character's encumbrance level. The limit doesn't apply to quest items to prevent getting stuck when getting an item from a quest giver or during the main quest.

The Spellbook option allows you to see which spells your character has learned, if any, as non-spellcasters cannot ever have spells without the use of mods. An interesting quirk about the menu is that if you press the Spellbook button, the color matches the lowest visible item in the list's color.

Magical accessories can be equipped but cannot be used from this menu. To use them, you have to activate the 'use' command during gameplay. Potions don't need to be equipped to be able to use them.

Bugs

• Due to an unknown cause, the lower portion of the character window on which your character stands might be black. ^?
