Equipment

Playable characters have five slots used to equip items. From top to bottom, they are:
 * Weapons
 * Off-hand
 * Headgear
 * Bodygear
 * Accessory

The only exception to this scheme are dual-wielding users (Aka, Varia, and Uyae), who have a second Weapon slot instead of an Off-hand slot.

What can be equipped in a given slot usually depends on the character, but there are a few characters that can use items from more than one category. There are also a few items that can be used exclusively by a specific character - they're listed below, but you can find out more information on the Custom Equipment page.

The tables list the store prices. Some shops may offer discounts, influenced by the investments you have made. Where it's possible to sell items, they are accepted at half their "true" price, which is not necessarily the price at which you bought those items.

Weapons
Weapons are grouped into categories based on the party members that can use them. These are: warriors (Simon, Aka, Hilstara, Varia, Nalili, and Vhala), mages (Altina, Robin, Carina, Sho, and Riala), succubi (Yarra, Qum, and Riala) and orcs (Orcent, Impaler, Ralke, Implevon the Third, and Grubbak). (There's also the special case of the Chosen's weapon - unsurprisingly, it can be used only by Kai and Tal.)

Most weapons are one-handed and occupy only the Weapon slot. In Ardford, you gain access to two-handed weapons that use both the Weapon and the Off-hand slot at the same time (only dual-wielders can use them). So far, the only two-handed weapons are Swords and Axes.

In addition to the stats listed on the Equipment screen, weapons also modify two hidden characteristics - Accuracy and Critical hit chance. Barring special cases (custom weapons), these bonuses depend on weapon type.

Warrior weapons
Simon is the party member who can use most types of weapons in this category (all but gloves and bows for now).

Swords
Although they increase the Attack stat a little less that the Axes of the same price range, swords have higher accuracy (they miss less than the Axes). Specifically, swords grant 5% bonus to accuracy and critical rate. Can be used by Simon, Varia, Nalili, and Antarion.

Daggers
Aka's weapon of choice: they increase Agility to the detriment of the Attack stat. Daggers give 10% bonus to accuracy and critical rate.

Axes
Hilstara's weapon of choice: they increase the Attack stat to the maximum, but to the detriment of accuracy. Specifically, they reduce accuracy and critical rate by 5%.

Claws
Used by Simon, Varia, and Uyae. Claws increase Defense to the detriment of the Attack stat. No bonuses/penalty to accuracy or critical rate.

Gloves
Weapons intended for a hybrid warrior-mage style. Only usable by Uyae so far. +50% accuracy.

Ranged weapons
The only party member that can use a bow so far is the Unwoman Vhala, and her weapon can only be swapped or removed when she joins the party during the Third Arclent War in late chapter 3.

Mage weapons
The main tools of the magic users - Altina, Robin, Carina, Sho, and Riala. No bonuses/penalty to accuracy or critical rate.

Succubus weapons
These can be equipped only by Yarra, Qum, and Riala; despite being a succubus, Nalili prefers swords. They are harder to find than the human weapons, but they still can be obtained from specialized establishments (AKA sex shops) or in succubus societies. None of these weapons grant accuracy or critical rate.

Whips

 * Whips are straightforward, providing physical or magical power.

Sex toys
So far, these are the only weapons that lower the Attack stat. On the other hand, they add extra abilities or advantages to Lust management.

Orc weapons
Orcent, Impaler, Ralke, Implevon the Third, and Grubbak can only use these designated weapons, even though orc monsters can drop normal weapons when defeated.

Off-hand
So far there are no characters that only use two-handed weapons, so all the party members can equip this slot (although Aka, Uyae, and Varia use it to equip another weapon).

Shields
There are various party members that use shields: Simon, Hilstara, Carina, Nalili, and Vhala.

Light shields
Carina can only use items from this category.

Orc shields
Can be used by Orcent, Impaler, Ralke, Implevon the Third, and Grubbak.

Off-hand gloves
Gloves intended to take the place of a shield. Only usable by Simon so far.

Magic off-hand items
Off-hand items for the magic users: Yarra, Robin, Altina, Carina, Sho and Riala.

Sexual off-hand items
Only Altina, Yarra, Qum, Nalili, and Riala can use these.

Helms
Can be used by Simon, Aka, Hilstara, Varia, Carina, Uyae, Nalili, and Vhala.
