Weapons, shields, armour, helmets, jewellery, and body pieces must be equipped to provide their combat benefits. Paired pieces such as boots and gloves can occupy a left or right side.

Weapons, shields, armour, helmets, jewellery, and body pieces must be equipped to provide their combat benefits. Paired pieces such as boots and gloves can occupy a left or right side.
Carried containers hold other items and reduce the weight contribution of their contents, making them valuable expedition gear.
A cursed equipped item cannot be removed until its curse is cleansed.
Weapons and tools lose durability through use. Broken items stop providing their normal benefits until repaired or replaced.
Attacking, mining, lockpicking, harvesting, and other practical actions can wear the item used.
At zero durability an item becomes broken. Broken ranged weapons are removed from active use automatically.
Repair restores durability but reduces the item's maximum durability. A fully repaired item can instead be improved when the attempt succeeds.
Crafting compares the selected ingredients with known recipes. A recipe may also require a nearby workshop, tool, fire, or other object that is not consumed.
Selected ingredients are consumed when a recipe succeeds. Their selection order does not matter.
Some recipes require a perk or a nearby object. These requirements enable the work but are not normally consumed as ingredients.
Craftsmanship, Patience, perks, and ingredient materials influence the quality and final properties of the result.
Cooking uses ordinary recipes, but raw food and dirty water often require an active fire nearby.
A campfire is crafted from simple fuel and stone, then lit with flame, a fire-making tool, or suitable magic.
A burning campfire enables many food recipes and can cook raw meat into safer provisions.
Dirty water can be boiled at a burning campfire, turning a risky drink into a dependable supply.
