Equipment

Choose this to equip your party for battle.

Choose the person you want to equip. Four boxes open up.
The box at the top left shows that person's level, profession, and battle experience (EXP) points.
The box at the lower left shows what equipment that person is wearing and carrying.
The box at the top right shows the equipment available to that person. An "E" appears next to an item if a person is wearing or carrying it. Select items without an "E" to pick them up. (Select items with an "E" to put them down.) Each person can have up to 16 items available. Up to eight of them can be listed in one box. If the comrade has more items, select Next to see the box listing the other items.
If the item can be held, you'll now select either the right or left hand to hold the item. Generally, the comrade should hold a weapon in one hand and a shield or other protective gear in the other hand. Some weapons must be held with two hands.
The box at the lower right shows the comrade's agility, attack skills, and defense skills.
