Manage your carrying capacity to stay mobile in combat and exploration.

How Weight Works

Total Load Calculation:

  • Every item has weight (except Special Items)

  • Total Load = Inventory weight + Equipped gear weight

Max Load:

  • Base Max Load value

  • Increases when you level up Endurance attribute

  • Determines how much you can carry before penalties


Load States

Below Max Load

  • Move and act freely

  • No penalties or restrictions

Encumbered (Exceeded Max Load)

When you exceed Max Load, you become encumbered:

Disabled:

  • Cannot run/sprint

  • Cannot jump

  • Cannot hold block

⚠️ Limited:

  • Can still parry, but cannot sustain it


UI Indicators

HUD Indicator:

  • Vertical bar showing load percentage

  • Fills based on current weight vs. Max Load

Inventory Display:

  • Numeric weight display (e.g., "45 / 100")

  • Shows current carried weight and Max Load

  • Updated in real-time


Managing Weight

Tips:

  • Store excess items in your Player House chest

  • Sell or dismantle unneeded equipment

  • Increase Endurance to raise Max Load

  • Plan inventory before long expeditions

Marketplace note:

  • You can purchase items even when at Max Load

  • Items go to inventory but you become encumbered

  • Return to village to manage weight
