The Belt is a leather strap with a metal buckle, worn around the waist. It is an accessory that adds two hotbar slots on the hips. Most characters start the game wearing one along with a key ring.
Its strength is quick access. A weapon or tool hung on the belt can be drawn without opening a bag. It weighs almost nothing and sits in its own Belt slot.
Spare belts are common in dressers, wardrobes and staff lockers. A belt can also be sewn from leather, or cut up for its buckle. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Belt is worn for what it holds. It adds the Belt Left and Belt Right hotbar slots. Each takes one item, such as a Hunting Knife, a Screwdriver, a Hammer, a Wrench, a Nightstick, a Meat Cleaver, a walkie talkie or a Katana.
Keeping a weapon and a tool on the belt saves time in a fight. The weapon is ready at the press of a hotbar key, and the tool waits for the next job.
The Belt has its own slot, so it goes on with any outfit.
Tailoring
The Belt is leather. The Sew Belt recipe makes one from 2 Leather Strips, 1 Buckle and heavy thread. It needs scissors or a sharp knife, a sewing needle and an awl, which are kept, and Tailoring 2. The recipe has to be learned first.
The Cut Up Belt recipe takes it apart into 1 Buckle and 1 Leather Strips. Research Craft on a belt teaches Forge Buckle.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Belt and teaches the recipes below.
