# Inventory and Equipment

> Learn how to manage your inventory, equip gear, and find items in LOREKEEPER's AI-powered RPG.

## How Inventory Works

Your character carries items collected throughout the adventure. Everything you pick up, buy, loot, or receive as a quest reward goes into your inventory, accessible from the sidebar during gameplay.

## Equipment Slots

Characters have dedicated equipment slots:

* **Weapon**: Your primary tool for dealing damage in combat.
* **Armor**: Provides defense, reducing incoming damage.
* **Accessories**: Rings, amulets, cloaks, and other items that grant passive bonuses.

Equipping an item is as simple as selecting it from your inventory. The DM factors your equipped gear into every combat calculation automatically.

## Finding Items

There are several ways to acquire new gear:

* **Combat loot**: Defeated enemies drop items appropriate to the encounter.
* **Shops**: Visit merchants in towns and settlements to buy or sell.
* **Quest rewards**: Completing objectives often yields unique items.
* **Exploration**: Search rooms, chests, and hidden locations during exploration scenes.

<Tip>Tell the DM you want to search an area. Hidden loot is often waiting for adventurers who take the time to look.</Tip>

## Genre-Aware Items

LOREKEEPER adapts items to your world genre. A fantasy campaign features enchanted swords and healing potions, while a sci-fi setting offers plasma rifles and medkits. The AI DM ensures every item feels native to your chosen world.

## Managing Your Inventory

Open the inventory panel from the game sidebar to:

* View all carried items and their descriptions.
* Equip or unequip gear.
* Sort items by type or name.
* Review item stats and effects.

<Note>Inventory management is part of the strategy. Carry healing potions for emergencies and keep your best gear equipped before entering dangerous areas.</Note>
