Ability is a damage stat. If your ability stat is high, you'll do more damage. The ability stat isn't well researched at this point. It is possible that it affects the range of damage you would do to an enemy. For example instead of doing 60 ~ 80, you'd do 70 ~ 80 damage. Your ability stat needs to be higher than the enemy's to do more damage.
The Item Menu is the pop up window to the left.
Press [I] on your keyboard to access the menu quickly!
When you click on items in your item pack, a menu will pop up. Depending on the item you choose, this menu will be slightly different. If you have too many items while in a quest, choose the second option with the little arrow next to it to send the item to storage.

Photon Art Discs
During your quests, you can pick up photon art disks that lets you learn new photon arts and technics. Each photon art disc has a level attached; if you currently have a photon art that's above the disc's level, it will be grayed out in the item pack.
Click on a photon art disc and press the top entry to use the item. As shown in the screenshot above, a window will pop up illustrating the gain in power for that Photon Art. Return to the Equipping Weapons menu to add that photon art to your weapon palette.
PSO2 uses units to add defensive stats to your character. There are three unit slots you can use; Rear, Arm, and Leg. Sub units can be equipped to any of the three slots, whereas other units can only be equipped to a specific slot.
Costume and 3 Units [Rear] [Arm] [Leg]
Units are visually distinctive by their purple icons.
The sub-palette is displayed at the bottom of your screen during quests. Of these ten slots for the sub palette, you can place items, skills, and photon blasts. The window that pops up when you click on a slot has two tabs. The first tab (indicated in orange) is for your items, while the second tab is for skills.
