    The easiest way to enforce this is a main stat check + a weapon item level check. Main stats are the reason chest pieces have a bigger impact than earrings and gloves have a bigger impact than belts, so instead of writing a long weighed algorithm for individual gear item levels one can just check the total STR, DEX, INT, MND or VIT depending on role, and then check that the weapon is at most 10 ilvl lower than the required average item level. This leaves some wiggle room but makes sure that one doesn't fail because of unavoidable damage or a small dps check.

    There could also be a teaching aspect in the error messages. Instead of saying "you do not meet the requirements for this duty" it could say "your weapon is not strong enough" or "you don't have enough INT for this duty". That would point people in the right direction and make sure they don't neglect aspects of gearing in the future.
