In QELServ, all general melee combat equipment can be used by anyone. Some advanced equipment specific to particular speciality combat orientations (i.e. Ranging, Magic and Summoning) will require a nexus to be usable or equipable. Some basic equipment from each speciality orientation will be usable with no nexus requirement, allowing any character to experience at least some part of all 3 of the speciality combat orientations.
(Note: The below list is the melee combat equipment already implemented, but equipment for each speciality combat orientation and for peaceful orientations is also being developed.)
