'''Basic Trope''': The player is given some basic equipment at the start of the game which they'll quickly replace with something better.

* '''Defied''': Bob keeps a cache of weapons and armour just in case. It's roughly to the standards of mid game items.
* '''Discussed''': "I don't have anything but the clothes on my back and a {{
* '''Conversed''': "I hear that Bob's off to save the world with nothing but a {{
