A mount comes with its skill in the tree: some the game grants at a rank, others take a skill point (picking one here takes it when the tree allows).
Items
- Weapon
- Armour
- Talisman
- Enchanted item
- Follower or banner0/2
Items this character can carry: its race's (or any race's), its kind of character, and the ones made for it; an item only some factions get is left out for a legendary lord of another faction and marked “… only” for everyone else. The arcane item slot is for spellcasters (Dwarf characters carry three Character Runes there); followers and banners share two ancillary slots.
