Gear slots
There are multiple gear slots in Ashes of Creation.[2]
- 3 Belt slots.[2]
- 1 Mainhand slot equips a player's primary weapon.[3][7][8][9][10][6]
- 1 Offhand slot can equip shields, spell focuses, sigils, and dual weapons.[3][11][6]
- 1 Potion/Pouch/Scroll slot.[5][12]
- 8 Armor slots.[2][13]
- 5 Jewelry slots.[2]
- 3 Artisan gear slots.[21][2][22]
- 1 Artisan tool slot is used to equip gathering tools.[23]
- There may be a specific slot for musical instruments, but this has not been finalized yet.[24]
- Previously it was stated there were 16 gear slots.[13]
- Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.[25]
Offhand slot
Offhand items are items that can be equipped in a player's offhand slot, such as shields, spell focuses, and sigils.[11]
- Only one-handed weapons may be equipped when the offhand slot is in use.[11]
- Previously, shields were equipped in a back slot.[5][6]
- Dual wielded weapons occupy both main and offhand gear slots.[26][27]
Items on back and belt
Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[5][12][28]
- Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.[6]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.[3][7][8][10]
- Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.[3]
- Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.[30]
Gear sets
Gear sets (also known as tier sets) are a part of Ashes of Creation.[35][34][36]
- Q: How often will armor be part of an entire armor set with other cosmetically matching pieces versus unique armor pieces that don't match or go along with anything else in the game?
- A: There is a balance of both set pieces and non-set pieces and usually you're going to see at higher grades within a tier are going to be more predominantly set driven; and the lower interstitial power levels of the gear for that tier are the potentially bespoke pieces; and obviously those pieces are catered around a number of different interactions, such as ones you get from quests, ones that you get from drops, ones that you can craft, ones that you get from legendary bosses, ones that you get from guild-oriented tasks, or in-game favor and unique currencies. So there's different types of acquisition models and each of them has a spattering of either bespoke pieces or set-oriented pieces; and there are even varying levels of set pieces as well. So you might have a full eight piece set, or a three-piece set, or a five piece set, depending on where it lives within the tier.[35] – Steven Sharif
- Racial appearance of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.[37]
- It will be possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single button press when out of combat.[25][2][38]
- Approximately 49 unique gear sets were obtainable in Alpha-1 from crafting, quests, drops and exploration.[39] These were unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.[39]
- There are passive abilities that can be chosen to become more adept with certain set types.[36]
- There will be viable non-set builds.[40]
