Trivia

• When attempting to equip an item while resting, the player will stand up to do so. However you may unequip items while resting. The reason for this is unknown.
• If the player somehow has an unequippable item equipped (e.g. a noted dragon dagger, which was converted from a dragon dagger p++ with the Evolution of Combat update, or a variant of a crystal seed after the item made from it has degraded) and they try to open the bank, the bank will not open and the item will be moved to their inventory, with the following message being shown in the chatbox: You had items equipped in the wrong slots. They were moved out into your inventory.
