I'm a relative newbie to EL, and have run into an odd situation. There is an item, "Wolfbane the Shepherd", that I was to pick up from a specified ruin, then have a hero equip it and take it back to a village in order to pacify that region. So I went and got the item, but none of my heroes can equip it. It is "grayed out" on the armory section of the hero screen. I can equip several other quest items, but this and some others are no go. Does anyone have an idea as to what I'm missing here? Thanks

Not every unit can use every type of weapon, that's part of what defines them. In this case you need a support hero like drakken or ardent mages.

Yeah, it finally hit me that might be the issue, and some exploration proved it to be so. Thanks for the advice!!
