# Item Category

Some yokais drop different Rarity and Level of loot. Let's take a look at the various elements that differentiate equipment pieces:

**Item Slot:** Each hero class starts with 9 slots: Weapon, Head Armor, Neckless, Glove, Chest Armor, Ring, Potion Viel, Leg Armor, Relic.

**Type:** A bow is different from a sword. Armors have their own visual types for each hero class. 

**Tier:** A higher tier means more damage on your weapon, more defense on your armor, etc. 

**Rarity:** That's the color of their background. Gray is commun, blue is rare  purple is epic, and orange is legendary.
