When you receive an item it will go into your bag. To access your bag you can click on the Bag icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the interface or by pressing "B". All normal items will go into the Items tab of the Bag window. All items associated with professions will go into the Reagents tab of the Bag window.

However, if you find that you have too many items to carry in your bag you can store them in your bank. Your bank can be found in your faction's capital, and it can be accessed by talking to a banker. All items that are deposited in the bank will remain there safely until you retrieve them.

There are also many items in the game that you can equip. These can be either weapons or armour, and they can increase your stats for as long as they are equipped. Weapons can also directly increase the damage you deal depending on the damage or magical power of the weapon.

There are many different types of weapons and armour, as well as multiple different slots where armour and weapons can be equipped. To view these slots and the items you currently have equipped you can check your Character Info window.

Items that can be equipped will usually bind to you when a certain action is performed. Items can bind when received or when equipped. After an item becomes bound to you, it cannot be traded to other players.

From Level 45 you will have the opportunity to take your equipment to the refinery masters of your faction. These can be found in your faction’s capital. The equipment brought needs to be level 45 and of rare, epic and legendary quality and can be combined with one of three reagents,

Cinnabar: This reagent is of low quality and can be purchased from the refinery master (shown above) with in-game gold.

Amalgam: This reagent is of medium quality and can be acquired from the Arena of Death, the Melting Isle and the June Catacombs and also through the Alchemy Craft.

Realgar: This reagent is of high quality and can be acquired from Astral Confrontations primarily, but can be found elsewhere.

By attempting to combine items of a sufficient quality you can create an item of even greater quality with these reagents!
