			[[Belt]]s are items which can be equipped by all humanoid or [[Beast Forms\|Beast Form]] adventurers. [[Belt]]s provide a variety of buffs. Some belts increase damage from Combat Skills, raise chances of finding magical loot, or increase [[Storage\|personal inventory]].

	~~==List~~ of Belts==		* '''Dual-skill Belts''' are the most common variety of belt. These belts raise ''Base Damage Multipliers by 7%.'' An equipped {{Item\|Belt of The Soldier}} will grant ''Sword Base Damage +7%'' and ''Shield Mastery Base Damage +7%.''
	~~For~~ a ~~list~~ of ~~all~~ belts~~, see~~ [[~~:Category:Items/Belt~~]].		* While most '''Dual-skill Belts''' are sold by NPCs like [[Joeh]], [[Marna]], and [[Echur]], certain belts can only be found in monster loot.
			* Not every combination of compatible skills has a '''Dual-skill Belt.'''
			* '''Single-skill Belts''' raise ''Base Damage Multiplier by 10%,'' but only for one skill. An equipped {{Item\|Belt of the Swordsman}} will grant ''Sword Base Damage +10%.``
			* Most '''Single-skill Belts''' and other stat-raising belts can be crafted. [[Shamanic Infusion]] and [[Toolcrafting]] are usually used to craft belts.

	==~~History of Belts~~==		==== Crafted Belt Rarity ====
	~~The objective of~~ belts ~~was changed with the 2015~~-~~12-06 patch~~. ~~Before that patch~~ belts ~~'''attuned the random-treasure system~~ to ~~specific skills''' <ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1045484633/project-gorgon-~~a~~-new-approach-to-mmos~~/~~posts/985932 making Armor Pt 2</ref>~~. ~~For instance, the ''Lucky Belt of~~ The ~~Soldier'' attuned loot~~ to ~~[[Sword]] and [[Shield]]~~, ~~while~~ the ~~''Lucky Belt~~ of the ~~Ranger'' attuned loot to [[Archery]] and [[Animal Handling]], and so on~~.		All belts purchased from NPCs or looted from monsters will be non-magical {{ItemRarity\|Common}} Loot. All crafted belts have a chance to generate as {{ItemRarity\|Uncommon}} Loot with a [[All Skills/Treasure Effects\|generic treasure effect]]. The chance to craft a magical belt is 33%, 66%, or 100% depending on the difficulty of the recipe used.
			=== List of Belts ===

	~~In the 2015-12-06 patch notes the following information was provided:~~<~~br>~~		<!-- All belts are transcluded on a separate page. This allows parts of that page, or the entire thing, to be inserted onto other pages like this one. -->
	- ~~Belts no longer determine the skills used by random loot. This is now determined by the skills you have active when the monster dies.~~		{{:List of Belts}}
	- ~~Instead,~~ belts ~~give you~~ a ~~small bonus chance to find uncommon (green-label) loot if you are using their specific skills~~.
	~~- The chance~~ of ~~finding uncommon loot has been increased somewhat to offset this new bonus~~, ~~which means that the belt isn’t actually helping you much over the pre-patch values –~~ the ~~belt mostly just keeps you in the same ballpark. (It’s a little bit better than before~~, ~~but not a lot.)~~
	~~- There are a few new craftable utility belts that have no effect on treasure, but instead have~~ other ~~benefits. Some players may find these belts more useful than the Lucky Belts. (Other types of utility belt options will no doubt be added in the future~~.)
	- ~~Specialized animal belts (spider harnesses and bat combat belts) no longer have any effect on loot – they just have their main benefit of unlocking certain skill combinations for animal forms~~
	- ~~Harry the Wolf no longer sells the belts that the Suspicious Cow also sells~~


	As of ~~the [[Game_updates/2019-02-20#Belt_Changes\|February 20, 2019 patch]], class-specific "Lucky Belts" were renamed to simply "~~Belts".

	~~You may have trouble finding a belt~~ that ~~covers both~~ of the ~~skills you want~~ to ~~use~~, ~~but~~ you ~~shouldn~~'~~t have trouble finding a belt that covers at least one~~ of ~~your two skills~~.		=== Trivia ===
			The objective of belts was changed with the 2015-12-06 patch. Before that patch belts attuned the random-treasure system to specific skills. For instance, the ''Lucky Belt of The Soldier'' attuned loot to [[Sword]] and [[Shield]], while the ''Lucky Belt of the Ranger'' attuned loot to [[Archery]] and [[Animal Handling]], and so on. If you were using Sword and Shield while wearing a ''Lucky Belt of the Ranger,'' loot you collected would be Archery and Animal Handling, not Sword and Shield.

	[[Joeh]] in Serbule will sell you a couple of Sword-related belts if you raise Favor with him. Other townsfolk in Serbule and Eltibule have other belts for sale, covering every combat skill. And some unusual belts are dropped from random treasure.		* In the 2015-12-06 patch notes the following information was provided:<br>
			: -- Belts no longer determine the skills used by random loot. This is now determined by the skills you have active when the monster dies.
	~~==Crafted Belt Rarity==~~		: -- Instead, belts give you a small bonus chance to find uncommon (green-label) loot if you are using their specific skills.
	In the ~~January 14, 2020 hotfix,~~ the following ~~change to belts~~ was ~~introduced~~: ~~"All crafted belts~~ now have a chance to ~~be Uncommon~~ (~~instead of non~~-~~magical~~). ~~That~~ chance ~~is 33%~~, ~~66%, or 100%, depending on~~ the ~~difficulty of~~ the ~~recipe~~. (~~Previously~~, ~~only~~ a ~~few select belt recipes could craft magical belts~~.)"		: -- The chance of finding uncommon loot has been increased somewhat to offset this new bonus, which means that the belt isn’t actually helping you much over the pre-patch values – the belt mostly just keeps you in the same ballpark. (It’s a little bit better than before, but not a lot.)

	~~===Effect On Special Loot===~~
	Whenever you find special loot (that is, equipment whose title is colored green, blue, purple, or yellow), it has random enhancements on it. Wearing a belt heavily skews the loot so that those the skills indicated on the belt show up a LOT more often. Note that this also affects equipment received through quest rewards!
