This page is designed to make it easier to find items as a cross-section of two or three item categories.  For instance, if you wanted to see all Head-slot items with the "Plate" fashion that a Paladin could wear you could use this page to find the intersection between the categories "Fashion: Plate",  "Head", and "Paladin Equipment".

This page works by making your browser request every page for every category you choose.  Many item categories have 5+ pages, which means that a three-category search could require requesting fifteen (or more) pagesThis makes it slow, both for you and for the wiki itself (from the wiki's perspective fifteen people just requested different pages at once), so please be respectful and limit your searches to one every couple of minutes.

<span style="font-size:75%">P.S. If you are thinking "that's a stupid way to implement this feature", you are correct.  There is [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Multi-Category_Search an official wiki extension], which could do the same thing in a much smarter way.  Unfortunately however I haven't figured out a way to bribe the wiki (server) administrators into adding this extension, so this page is the best we have for now.</span>
