What if belts and sashes could carry weapons. like say your a bounty hunter you could have your LLC or your carbine attached to your sash (which would actualy show on your back) and you scatter pistol on your belt in a holster. All rifles and carbines would go on the sash, and all pistols would go on your belt in holsters.
This could also work with melee weapons. Two-handed weapons/polearms would go on your back and one-handed weapons would go on your belt. All melee weapons wheither on your back or belt would be in a sheath.
When you equip the weapon your character would pull it out of its spot. then when you finish your battle the weaponwould go back into its spot. and for things like the UbeseBandolor since this is one item and not two both types of weapons would go on it in their place on your back or belt.
Maybe if you had two rifles/ carbines/ two-handed/ polearms at one timeyou would have to have a double strap sash and put them on in a X shape. And twopistols/ one-handed would just go on opposite sides of the belt.
Equiping the weapon would be just like it is now exept instead of being in your inventory it would be paired with the sash or belt you would click on the belt/sash and a option would say equip. Example: Equip(the name of your weapon). Now if you had two weapons on one sash/belt it would have two Equipoptions like this example "Equip Light Lightning Cannon" and "Equip Laser Carbine"
I think this would let players look cooler in armorsand in justclothes.

Seen the EQ2-vids... The Characters wear their eqipped weapon by side or on back till they go into combat mode..
Surely better then everone standing arond with the weapon ready, like Rifler/Carbineers do.
Guess if its ever implemented...

The problem I see with what you suggest is you make every combat prof but TKA, fencer (Maybe) and pistoleer have to wear a sash instead of a belt, cancelling out their backpack slot, and thus giving them by default 50 items storage less if they want to use such a nifty feature. I would LOVE to wear one of my NSELs on my back, but... at that price? I dunno...

I love the idea. But I think it should not be dependant on wearing a sash since that eliminates a pack. Holsters for pistols could be a different idea. But the position of your equiped weapon should depend on combat animation. If your not in combat your pistol simply appears at your side attached to your belt, shouldn't even require a holster, and your rifle/sword/lance appears across your back. Then as soon as combat starts it appears in your hand the same way you snap into combat posture.
edit: I had to edit that because my spelling was soooooo bad.
