Wear

Wear, [W], is a command used to wear pieces of armor and shields. Items of armor that layer over the torso must be worn in an 'inner-to-outer' fashion: shirts, then body armor, then cloaks. Use the [T] command to take off worn armor. Wearing and removing armor takes some time; the number of turns depends on the type of item.

To wear accessories such as rings or amulets, use [P] to put on the item.

Strategy
