Equipping an EverQuest Character
There are a lot of items in this game, but only some are useful, and of those only some offer a "sweet spot" of availability/affordability and utility. For instance, you probably won't go out of your way to get an item that adds one more AC (though you'll equip it if you happen to loot it)... but almost everyone buys or quests the {{:Journeyman's Boots}, because the utility of getting to move faster is so huge.
This page strives to detail such "sweet spot" items, in general. For class-specific gear suggestions, see the appropriate class page, eg. Equipping a Druid or Equipping a Shaman.
Shopping Categories
You can get more AC (or most stats) from a variety of armor pieces, but there are only a handful of items that allow you to breathe underwater. Let's look at the more interesting things gear can offer beyond just stat.
