The mud is Realms of Despair, using v6.26.

Heres the output:

You are using:
<used as light> the source of magie noire
<worn on finger> the shade ring
<worn on finger> the shade ring
<worn around neck> the captain's cloak
<worn around neck> the captain's cloak
<worn on body> the Spoils of Thievery
<worn on head> the shade helm
<worn on legs> godskull shinguards
<worn on feet> (Humming) chains of imprisonment
<worn on hands> (Glowing) Blessed gauntlets of the Templar
<worn on arms> (Glowing) the Ice Arm Guards
<worn about body> (Glowing) the Cloak of Royalty
<worn about waist> a girth of mangled hide
<worn around wrist> a lion-crested bracer
<worn around wrist> a lion-crested bracer
<wielded> (Humming) Lord Kahl's "ThievesBlade"
<dual wielded> (Humming) Lord Kahl's "ThievesBlade"
<worn on ears> a crystalline teardrop
<worn on eyes> the shades
(type 'garb' for a list of all wear locations)

What i've done is made a trigger to capure the long name of itmes i'm wearing to variables for each piece of eq. What i don't want to capture, is the (Glowing) and the {Humming}. Or in some cases, both of those, or even three such things could preceed a piece of eq. For example:

<wielded> (Glowing) (Humming) (Red Aura) The Blade of Evil

My trigger works well enough for items without anything before the item, it's just:

#TR {~<used as light~> (*)} {#var light "%1"}

etc, with one of those for each piece.

I know i could just put those items in the trigger, then capture whats after it, but i want the script im making to be useable by anyone, and everyone has different eq.

Let me know if this is enough info. Thanks for any help.

Your trigger will capture the (humming) etc
into %1. What you need to do is strip
those state messages out.

A simple way is like:

#TR {~<used as light~> (*)} {#var light %replace(%replace(%replace("%1","(Humming) ",""),"(Glowing) ",""),"(Red Aura) ","")}

Works perfectly, thanks very much for your time

*edit*

One thing i forgot to mention. As you see, there are a few instances where there are 2 of the same wear location. There's a chance that these items may not be the same. I have variables for 2 different neck items, @neck and @2neck, but with the way your eq is listed, i anticipate that the way i have the triggers set up, the variable is going to be filled with whatever is in the second instance.

<worn on neck> an obsidian cloak
<worn on neck> a captains cloak

any ideas how to get around that?

What I tend to use for that kind of concept
is:

Erase what you had:
#TRIGGER {^You are using:} {#FORALL @V_Eq_Type {#VAR %i ""}

#VAR V_Eq_Type "finger|finger2|neck|neck2|body|head|legs|feet|hands|arms|waist|wrist|wrist2|wielded|wielded2|ears|ears2|eyes"

Then something like:
#TRIGGER {^~<* (%w)~>%s(%*)} {#IF (%null( @%1)) {#var %1 %replace( %replace( %replace( "%2", "(Humming) ", ""), "(Glowing) ", ""), "(Red Aura) ", "")} {#var [%1]2 %replace( %replace( %replace( "%2", "(Humming) ", ""), "(Glowing) ", ""), "(Red Aura) ", "")}}
