Equipment that keeps up
Auto equipment checks your backpack when a new level unlocks gear you already own.
Reaching an item's required level now prompts Auto equipment to review the backpack. Previously, an away hunt could leave a useful newly unlocked item unequipped until another equipment review occurred. The same check applies to each member of your party.
Equipment changes still wait for combat to end, respect favorites and your Auto equipment setting, and preserve displaced pieces. The existing build comparison decides whether an item is an improvement; reaching its required level alone does not force it onto your character.
