Equipped

Place a compatible weapon, off-hand, armour piece, belt, amulet, or ring in its character equipment slot and meet its level and attribute requirements. The item then grants its modifiers and can be counted by effects that say Equipped Item. An item that is disabled is not considered Equipped. Flasks, Charms, Skill Gems, Jewels, and Augments do not become Equipped items.

Only character equipment slots count

Weapons, off-hands, armour, belts, amulets, and rings are Equipment. They become Equipped when placed into a compatible character equipment slot and remain usable. Quivers are off-hand Equipment used with bows.

Flasks, Charms, Skill Gems, and Jewels do not count

A Flask or Charm may occupy its own inventory-panel slot, but it is not an Equipped Item. Skill Gems and Jewels are socketed through their own systems and are also excluded. An effect that counts Equipped Items therefore does not add these objects to its count.

Augments are socketed into Equipment

Runes, Soul Cores, and other Augments are socketed into an item rather than Equipped directly. Their modifiers can change the Equipment that contains them. If that host item becomes disabled, its bonuses, including bonuses supplied by its socketed Augments, are disabled.

Requirements determine whether an item is usable

A character must meet the item's level and attribute requirements. If a later equipment change or weapon swap removes required attributes, the affected item is disabled until the requirements are met again. A disabled item does not grant its modifiers and is not considered Equipped.

Disabled slots also disable their items

Some effects disable an equipment slot. An item left in that slot is disabled and stops granting its effects. The visual presence of an item in the inventory panel is therefore not enough to prove that it currently counts as Equipped.

Weapon-set stats follow the active set

The two weapon sets have separate main-hand and off-hand arrangements. Switching sets recalculates character modifiers from the active items immediately. A compatible Skill assigned only to the other set can trigger an automatic swap before use.

One weapon arrangement can be shared by both sets

Since version 0.3.0, the weapon-set controls can assign equipped weapons to both sets. This is useful when the same weapon must remain available while the two sets use different passive allocations or Skill assignments.

Equipped Armour Items is a narrower scope

Effects that say Equipped Armour Items inspect only equipped items in armour classes. They do not inspect weapons, belts, amulets, rings, Flasks, Charms, Skill Gems, or Jewels. A line naming Equipped Body Armour, Helmet, Gloves, Boots, Shield, or Focus is narrower still.

The modifier text decides what is counted

Per Equipped Item counts, Corrupted Item Equipped counts, and values taken from an Equipped Helmet or Body Armour are different queries. Read the complete modifier. Do not apply a value from one slot or property to every piece of Equipment.

Empty or disabled hands can make the character Unarmed

A character is Unarmed when the relevant weapon hand is empty or its weapon is disabled. Facebreaker and Hollow Palm Technique use special wording that lets Unarmed Attacks behave as though a named weapon class were equipped, but that wording does not place an actual weapon in the empty slot.
