Waist Armour or accessory

[Snugglebutt]

In the past waist was not counted as an accessory so people can be legitimately confused if they are long time players who are/were used to how it has been for a long time prior to this current change. This is as someone else said the first time it is counted as an accessory not an armour piece from what I remember. Left side was always armour in the past, right side always accessories. I too fell victim to this change and like the OP also first thought this is a glitch or bug because waist has always been counted as left side armour piece in the past.
