Starter Equipment	comment	In many videogames, The Hero's quest is a long one fraught with danger. So naturally whatever you're doing, you'll want the best equipment available at any given moment, and so most games will deliver. Your average RPG hero (and their party) will come to wield axes of stone, swing Flaming Swords, carry staffs that allow them to summon the very gods, draw bows crafted by reclusive masters in their field and deck themselves in the hides of legendary beasts and metals dug from far beneath the earth or beyond the stars. Yet, you still need to start somewhere. Enter this trope; the default equipment from the start of the game. Generally speaking there's one or a few things you can expect from this default equipment: The most basic item you can buy in the first shop you find, The most completely unique (but still useless when you find something else) item you can get in the game. Usually, hanging on to it will get you the Infinity +1 Sword. A few basic Standard RPG Items in your inventory. Default weapon type for the character's class. If there is more than one type of armour slot (outside of just "armour" for example for helms, gloves, accessories) the more advanced ones will be empty. If you start off without a weapon, this may well be the only point in the game where you don't have one equipped. Sometimes the character will start off completely unarmed. In this case the plot (or a handy chest) will provide this. Probably during a tutorial or the Noob Cave. You'll very likely see them used in nearly all promotional material, even though in most cases they'll be replaced with better items within the first hour or two. There are exceptions, of course. Characters that join later in the game don't count since they always have generic equipment for that level (or even better equipment if you're lucky). Sometimes, at the beginning of the game, you'll be given something better to use before this trope catches up with you. Items that aren't upgraded or replaced as the game goes on and just serve to introduce game mechanics are not this trope, since they only act as an in universe explanation for that ability (so healing items which you'll be able to buy better versions of count, as do equipable items, but a PDA you're given that serves as your pause menu or a pair of gloves that enable Video Game Stealing but are never replaced or upgraded does not). Compare Emergency Weapon for an early piece of equipment that has some slight advantage (typically being unbreakable or never running out of ammo) to make it a backup rather than just a springboard to later weapons and the equally useless stuff that's Better Off Sold. If the hero starts out on an important quest but still gets no help with getting better equipment then this is With This Herring. Using it may be the aim of a Self-Imposed Challenge. This can overlap with Weapon Jr.. Compare Baseless Mission for Real-Time Strategy games with a campaign mode, where the mission features one or two basic types of troops, possibly a Hero Unit, and lacks a Worker Unit. In Mons games, the equivalent is the Starter Mon.

Starter Equipment / int_14675d9f	comment	Wurm Online gives you a quite generous set of gear by the standards of MMOs, balanced by the fact that unless you've exchanged a few bucks for in-game currency, it's going to be a long time before you get anything better. It also can't be upgraded like stuff you make or buy yourself; loss of quality from wear and tear is permanent. On the plus side, unlike everything else, it stays in your inventory after you die.

Some games in the series don't even give you that, although story characters always have decent items equipped. Usually this is restricted to the storyline characters. However, 2 and 3 both provided the main character with some hirelings at the start of a new game, and they will be decently equipped. DLC characters will sometimes also be carrying equipment once you recruit them, and said equipment will scale, depending on what point you recruit them.

This usually consists of a broken melee weapon, raggedy armor (or sometimes just clothes, which offer no protection), possibly a shield or a ranged weapon, a worn out nag of a horse, and a backpack of hard-smoked fish to subsist on. It's rather telling that you can get better equipment from the bottom tier trash Mooks like Looters.

Because of Magikarp Power, a good portion of those items are feasible endgame equipment. Thieves start with the Master Key, which opens certain doors that would otherwise require a key and some that have no proper key. This can also be chosen as a 'gift' by other classes. Other gifts include the unique 'Old Witch's Ring' (which allows you to talk to the Daughter of Chaos that leads the Chaos Covenant), a ring that grants a small increase in HP, and the Pendant that does absolutely nothing.

Some of them also get a buckler. It should be noted, however, that these items are flagged as being Starter items, which means they always cost exactly 1 gold to repair.

When you gain control of the future Inquisitor, they are unarmed and, in fact, being escorted under guard as a suspected mass-murderer. As you come under attack by demons, however, your armed escort, Cassandra, instructs you to stay back while she deals with them. At this point, you have no choice but to grab a weapon from the nearby pile (conveniently matching the skills you picked at character creation) and help her out. As soon as that's over, Cassandra demands that you drop it again, but a bit of reasoning makes her stop being so Lawful Stupid.

Unfortunately, in spite of using some parts from a legitimate Gundam or two, the overall performance is actually little better than a standard RGM-79 GM, and most players will have started upgrading to their own custom build (or buying a full kit in the shop) within a few missions.

Your starting equipment consists of a stick and a bandage, and while they are and remain the weakest combat gear in the game, the bandage, once taken off, becomes a one-time consumable item that restores Hit Points (as a bandage should), while the stick turns out to be a recurring quest item that can be used to resolve many battles non-violently—particularly when fighting canines.

Starter Equipment / int_618bcaf2	comment	In For the King, each character starts out with the beginner weapon for their class/background (a hammer for the Blacksmith, a bow for the Hunter, a spell book for the Scholar, and so on), along with one or two other items also determined by their class/background. The starter weapons are not available at any other point in the game, and usually have slightly worse stats than the most basic weapon of that type available in markets and item drops. In the lower difficulty levels, each character will also be given a few extra generic items (healing herbs, etc.).

Starter Equipment / int_61e400a0	comment	Since the player character in Path of Exile has been, well, exiled, you start by getting tossed off the ship transporting you to Wraeclast and washing up on the beach with one weapon and no armor. The Marauder starts with a club, the Templar with a scepter, the Witch with a wand, the Shadow with a knife, the Ranger with a bow, and the Duelist with a sword. You get your first active skill as a drop from the first monster you encounter, you find a support gem halfway through the zone, and you get another skill as a quest reward for killing the first boss and reaching town.

They're not the worst ships in the game (that would be the Shuttles), but they are a lot worse than the most basic of the "real" Frigates. If you show up at any NPC space station without a ship (i.e., just in your pod), you'll get a new one free. They can't be sold or recycled.

Starter Equipment / int_68237790	comment	In Pathfinder, firearms are extremely expensive, difficult to use, and cannot be crafted with the Craft skill. As such, the Gunslinger class receives a free "battered firearm" at character creation so that they can actually use a gun without having to wait multiple levels to buy one first. This weapon is unreliable in the hands of other characters, worthless if sold, and the gunslinger can upgrade it into a masterwork weapon (paying only the cost of the masterwork bonus) instead of needing a new firearm to replace it.

At low levels, only mundane gear and the most minor of magic items will be accessible — magic items in particular are something they'll be expected to find or otherwise "earn" later. 5th Edition: Characters receive starting gear based on their class and background (with a few options), plus a small amount of starting money to shop. This generally accounts for basic weapons, armor, spellcasting paraphernalia, travel gear, and personal trinkets. As 5th Edition places less emphasis on loading up characters with magical items, the starting gear can quite reasonably support a character for multiple levels.

As with most of the FF games, your starting weapons are the weakest in the game and you're encouraged to keep buying the next tier. There's even a "synthesis" mechanism, where you can combine certain pieces of old equipment to make new, more powerful pieces. But then, about two-thirds into the game, you travel to a topsy-turvy dungeon where everything is upside-downâ€”including your weapons' attack values. In this dungeon, the higher the attack power, the weaker your attacks. You can find every character's second-weakest weapon in chests throughout the dungeon, but the only way to have the most powerful weapons for that dungeon is to bring along your starting equipment, which you probably sold or synthesized hours ago.

If you answered one particular question a certain way, you'll receive an Ebony Dagger as part of your starting equipment. Ebony is the second best crafting material in the entire game. Morrowind is pretty stingy in this regard, giving you only the common clothes on your back and allowing you to pick up an Iron Dagger, an Apprentice Lockpick, and a ring enchanted with a minor healing spell during character generation. This is all you'll get for free to start out. Anything else will need to be bought or found out in the world. Oblivion has the "pick up starting equipment through the tutorial" version. The "rusted iron" and "rough leather" (essentially an even worse version of the basic Iron and Leather items) equipment from the tutorial dungeon can't be found anywhere else. You also start off equipped with the unique "wrist irons" item, which are useful since they're weightless and can be enchanted later. Skyrim continues the "pick up starting equipment through the tutorial" trend. It offers a slightly better variety and quality of equipment, and at a few points, the NPC you chose to side with will hand you items, like a bow.

All the games also start you off with some of the most basic type of Pokeball (although you'll be buying them for a while at least anyway) and a Potion (which needs to be withdrawn from the player's item storage PC in some games).

Said Splattershot Jr. will always come with a kit featuring Splat Bombs for the sub-weapon and some sort of team-benefitting shield as a defensive special weapon (Bubbler in 1, Ink Armor in 2, and Big Bubbler in 3). Meanwhile, the starting gear consists of a White Headband with the Ink Recovery ability (faster reloading), a Basic Tee with Quick Respawn (faster respawning), and some Cream Basics shoes with Special Saver (reduces how much your special gauge decreases after getting splatted). In 3, the gear is different to match the aestheticsnote Cephalo Pods, Ink-Shred Tee, and Force ReBoots, but the abilities are the same.

Starter Equipment / int_a81325d3	comment	The Final Fantasy series; Final Fantasy IV Cecil's dark knight gear that he has when you start the game is the weakest you can get as well as not being bought or found anywhere. It actually becomes 100% useless in the game after he class changes and gets completely different set of starting equipment. (If you don't remove your previous equipment before the class change your old stuff is gone forever.) Final Fantasy VII gives each character their signature weapon as their starting equipment. They're all the weakest equipment in the game, but in the case of Cloud and Barret, they can't be sold since they're the iconic weapon for that character (and thus appear in cutscenes). Final Fantasy IX plays this largely straight, but also includes one exception to the rule. As with most of the FF games, your starting weapons are the weakest in the game and you're encouraged to keep buying the next tier. There's even a "synthesis" mechanism, where you can combine certain pieces of old equipment to make new, more powerful pieces. But then, about two-thirds into the game, you travel to a topsy-turvy dungeon where everything is upside-downâ€”including your weapons' attack values. In this dungeon, the higher the attack power, the weaker your attacks. You can find every character's second-weakest weapon in chests throughout the dungeon, but the only way to have the most powerful weapons for that dungeon is to bring along your starting equipment, which you probably sold or synthesized hours ago. Final Fantasy X Tidus is given a long sword before his first battle. This weapon has 0 customization slots and no bonuses, meaning that every subsequent weapon for him is better. While you can make a long sword via drops and customization it will always have 1 slot rather than 0. Incidentally, the weapon was a gift from his old man. That the game actually encourages you to drop it as soon as possible gives you an idea what kind of relationship Father and Son have. In Final Fantasy XII Vaan and Basch's default swords cannot be bought or found. Vaan's can be dropped by Omega Mark XII.

Starter Equipment / int_ab7c54de	comment	Blasphemous II has a variant of this trope. There are only three weapons in the game, each with its own unique traits, elemental affinity and name; at the start of the game, the player chooses one, and the two which aren't chosen will be transported to certain parts of the map, requiring the player to quest to find them. Rugeo al Alba, the Sword, is the "balanced" weapon, with average strike speed and damage. It can parry and counter-attack, and has a Ground Pound attack that, when done from a sufficient height, creates crimson shockwaves that can break special wooden barriers. With an upgrade, it gains a blood meter that charges as it's used to harm enemies, which can trigger a powered-up mode that adds bonus Mystic damage to its strikes. If not selected at the start of the game, it can be found hidden in the Tower of Crowns. Sarmiento & Centella, the Rapier & Dagger, are fast-striking but have the lowest damage. They can also parry, but the player needs to purchase the ability to counter-attack, and the player is encouraged to focus on dodging with their special attack. They use a similar unlockable strike-fueled meter system to the Sword, but when it's full they automatically do bonus Electric damage. They let the player teleport short distances by striking special mirrors. If not selected at the start of the game, they can be found in the Palace of the Embroiderers. Veredicto, the Flail, is slow-striking, but covers a wide arc, does a lot of damage, can potentially hit twice in one strike, and has a higher chance to stun enemies. It's the only weapon that can't block, but has its elemental affinity unlocked by default; the parry button instead causes it to burst into flames, draining Fervor whilst adding Fire damage. It can be used to ring bells that summon temporary platforms and unlock puzzle doors. If not selected at the start of the game, it can be found in the Sacred Entombments.

The actual first weapon you get is a Metal Pipe, an improvised weapon which Fayt picked up to defend himself from enemy drones. One of the Battle Trophies requires you to beat the final boss with said Metal Pipe, and the second-to-last Superboss, a feat made possible thanks to the game's Synthesis system.

They're also the only items available if the Item Server is down or your client can't connect to Steam. Their actual usefulness varies; while some are considered useless compared to other items (such as the Bone Saw or Fire Axe), others are dependable and powerful enough that most experienced players never use anything else (like the Stickybomb Launcher or the Minigun). There are also flashier skinned, Festive, Botkiller, and Australium variants of these weapons which otherwise work identically.

You have one each of the Gunnery, Guts, and Tactics-trained pilots as your default lance, with a backup pilot with a lead on Piloting skills. Similarly, you have four fairly decent 'Mechs in your starting lance, which includes three Jack of All Stats designs (the Vindicator, the Blackjack, and the Shadow Hawk) and one high speed recon unit (the Spider). The game anticipates you'll get the Spider wrecked, and gives you a dinky but usable backup Locust 'Mech, just in case. The free-play career mode is considerably less generous. Players will have to start with a much smaller weight range of units (often with no medium 'Mechs at all) and their starting pilots will generally have skill blocks of 9 or 10. For reference, the lowest possible skill block for starting pilots is 8. Good luck getting through the Early Game Hell if you're playing on the higher difficulties.
