==Head slot==

[[File:Head slot.png|left]]

This slot tends to confer low defensive bonuses, but high offensive ones. Off-style helmets tend to have the least penalizing offensive drawbacks as well, making this slot a good choice to lean into the advantages of another combat style that doesn't match the one of your weapon.

 

==Cape slot==

[[File:Cape slot.png|left]]

Capes provide relatively small bonuses, but they typically provide them without any drawbacks to other combat styles. A variety of capes provide utility functions, making this slot valuable for non-combat purposes as well.

 

==Neck slot==

[[File:Neck slot.png|left]]

Neck slot items tend to provide strong offensive bonuses for their appropriate combat style, or a wide variety of non-combat functions, similar to rings.

 

==Ammunition slot==

[[File:Ammo slot.png|left]]

When using bows, crossbows, or ballistae, a player needs ammunition to fire from their weapon; arrows, bolts, or javelins. Ammunition cannot be used from the inventory; it must be equipped to the ammunition slot. When not using ranged, or using ranged weapons that provide their own ammo such as the [[crystal bow]] or [[toxic blowpipe]], you can instead equip various [[blessing]]s for a small prayer bonus and other perks. It is common to refer to this slot as the 'quiver', despite actual [[Decorative armour (quiver)|quivers]] that exist being equipped to the cape slot.

===Extra ammo slot===

The [[Dizana's quiver]] and [[Bolt pouch]] provide an extra ammo slot, which may be clicked to switch the ammo being used.

 

==Weapon slot==

[[File:Weapon slot.png|left]]

Your choice of weapon in the main hand. Determines your combat style, affecting what type of damage you deal and what offensive advantages apply from the rest of your equipment. Some skilling tools can be equipped in this slot as well.

 

==Shield slot==

[[File:Shield slot.png|left]]

Shield slot equipment often provides specific combat utility required for fighting particular monsters, such as protection against the fiery breath of dragons. If no specific utility is required, there are powerful offensive or defensive options.

 

==Two-handed items==

[[File:2h slot.png|left]]

This type of equipment occupies both the weapon and shield slots, so when equipped, both items will be removed. This means you cannot equip a two-handed item if your inventory is full and both of those slots are occupied.

 

==Body slot==

[[File:Body slot.png|left]]

The body item of an armour set tends to provide both the highest defensive benefits for its combat style as well as the highest offensive penalties for off-style attacks. Items in this slot very rarely have non-combat utility.

 

==Legs slot==

[[File:Legs slot.png|left]]

Leg items tend to fill extremely similar roles as body items, with the same pronounced defensive strengths and offensive weaknesses, though generally somewhat weaker. Because they are two different slots, you can mix and match equipment sets to reach more balanced bonuses.

 

==Hands slot==

[[File:Hands slot.png|left]]

The hand slot tend to be a great source of offensive bonuses, and commonly benefits all combat styles at once.

 

==Feet slot==

[[File:Boots slot.png|left]]

The gear available for this slot is very similar to hand slot gear, but tends to have more emphasis on defence than offence. It also provides less equipment with combat style flexibility than the hand slot. Similar to the shield slot, equipment necessary for negating penalizing effects are often feet slot items as well.

 

==Ring slot==

[[File:Ring slot.png|left]]

The ring slot has many equipment choices with abilities not available any other way; this tends to make this slot very competitive. Utility functions such as teleportation are also very frequently available via the ring slot. The rings that do provide statistical bonuses tend to be similar in magnitude to the neck slot, though typically must be imbued to reach their full potential.
