Editing Equipment Guide

{{GuideNeedsWork|Add new equipment types - adornments, luggage, airship, crew.}} 
{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=Yes}}
==Introduction==
It can be hard to figure out what equipment to buy as an early-game or mid-game character. Some equipment has uses beyond the stats given making them particularly attractive, but looking up every single item would be a daunting task. There's also some equipment given by access codes, which isn't advertised in-game, and some equipment is unlocked with stories. This guide seeks to give suggestions for '''what equipment you could get''' fairly reasonably within different sections of the game. 

There are 18 kinds of equipment: <u>[[:Category:Boon|Boon]]</u>, [[:Category:Hat|Hat]], [[:Category:Clothing|Clothing]], [[:Category:Gloves|Gloves]], [[:Category:Weapon|Weapon]], [[:Category:Boots|Boots]], [[:Category:Companion|Companion]], [[:Category:Treasure|Treasure]], <u>[[:Category:Destiny|Destiny]]</u>, [[:Category:Tools of the Trade|Tools of the Trade]], [[:Category:Affiliation|Affiliation]], [[:Category:Transportation|Transportation]], [[:Category:Home Comfort|Home Comfort]], <u>[[:Category:Ship|Ship]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Spouse|Spouse]]</u>, <u>[[:Category:Club|Club]]</u>, [[:Category:Adornment|Adornment]], and [[:Category:Crew|Crew]]. The <u>underlined</u> ones can't be unequipped. (<u>[[:Category:Burden|Burdens]]</u> also exist, but they're basically inverse Boons and the reasons one would willingly afflict oneself with them are out of scope of this page.)

Particularly useful seasonal items are mentioned as references. In addition, it's fairly easy to get companions with up to +7 during {{FontHallowmas}}, {{FontRose}} and {{FontWhitsun}}. For festivals see the following pages: {{FontFruits}} (FOTZ), {{FontHallowmas}}, {{FontRose}}, {{FontChristmas}}, {{FontWhitsun}} and {{FontSummer}}. Certain Christmas equipment may not be available every year.

It should be noted that this is not a comprehensive list of equipment, and some equipment has been omitted due to requiring more work compared to their value. In this guide, a {{IL|Luck|Appearance=Cardfan}} means that the option needs luck of some sort and may take some weeks. A {{IL|Time, the Healer|Appearance=Clock}} means the option will be available within x weeks, but doesn't require luck.

==Early Early-Game==
This section is available more or less from the get-go. All the equipment costs 2 {{E}} or less. Items from specific festivals have been omitted to reduce chaos.

==Early Mid-Game==
This section assumes Making your Name 6. All the equipment costs less than 30 {{E}}. Renown 10 items are also included in the list. Easily accessible PosI items are included in the list.

Note that some equipment adds a card to your opportunity deck permanently once possessed, which may be less profitable in late-game, like {{IL|Gang of Hoodlums}}, {{IL|A Day with God's Editors}} and some [[Factions_(Guide)#Renown_Items|faction items]].
