Ok, what I want to do is make a text only game, but i want a combat system with which you can equip weapons, armor, etc. Can somebody pleas help me in how I would go about doing so?
I would say just don't make a viewable screen, but make some way that the players can get weapons/items.
In response to Mertek
i Say give them a verb to buy it when they have enough gold
and when they buy it make an equip verb as well

There are lots of way you could approach it. One way would be to still give them obj's in their contents (inventory) so you can access that obj's stat increases.

mob
var
obj
arm_e
leg_e
body_e
head_e

obj
arm
shield
var/defense = 5
Equip()
set src in usr
if(arm_e)
usr << "You already have something equiped there!"
arm_e = src
usr.defense += defense
Unequip()
set src in usr
if(!arm_e)
usr << "You have nothing equiped there!"
arm_e = null
usr.defense -= defense


Something like that should work for you, you'll make it your own way to fit your game of course.
