[[Equipment]] pertains to [[item]]s that are equipped by the [[character]] in their [[inventory]] and used in combat, both in offense and defense.

They are of two main kinds: [[armor]] and [[weapon]]s{{note|1}}.

== Equipment slots ==
Each character has a total of seven equipment slots: two equippable item slots, and five armor slots.

They are visible in the [[Inventory]] [[panel]].

=== Equippable Item slots ===
A character can either wield a [[two-handed]] weapon, or a one-handed weapon with an off-hand item. Both slots are always available to place the respective items{{note|2}}:
* The [[Weapon#Types|main hand weapon]], which is either a [[martial weapon|martial]] type ([[axe]], [[sword]], [[hammer]], [[bow]], [[daggers]], [[scythe]], [[spear]]) or [[spellcasting weapon|spellcasting]] type ([[staff]], [[wand]]).
* The off-hand item (for [[focus item]]s or [[shield]]s). It will be disabled if a two-handed weapon is active.

=== Armor slots ===
{{section-stub}} 
There are five slots for armor pieces of the respective body parts: head, chest, hands, legs and feet.

Some have a higher chance of being hit than others, and as such also provide higher [[armor bonus|bonuses]] from [[insignia]]s unrelated to the [[armor rating]].

== Changing equipment ==
* In [[PvE]], equipment can be changed in all [[outpost]]s and at any time.
* In [[PvP]], it is not possible to change your [[armor]] during [[PvP]] encounters, but you can change your weapon and off-hand.
** Equipment can be managed and loaded from templates by using the [[PvP Equipment]] panel.

== Customized equipment ==
Customized weapons can only be used by the character they are customized for, or that character's [[hero]]es.

Some equipment is automatically customized:
* Armor of any kind
* PvP equipment
* Weapons obtained from certain [[collector]]s

A customized main hand weapon will receive a 20% damage enhancement. They can be customized manually by bringing them to a [[weaponsmith]] for a fee of {{cost|10}}

== Notes ==
# {{note link|1}}Players commonly refer to any equippable item as "weapon". The official in-game terminology excludes [[offhand|offhand item]]s when using the term "weapon", whereas "equippable item" is used to also refer to [[focus item]]s and [[shield]]s. As reference for this classification, see [[Inscription#Inscription_types|Inscription types]].
# {{note link|2}}There is no dual weapon wielding (or dual shield wielding) in [[Guild Wars]].
