Container Weight Capacity

INSPECT will indicate where a container is worn (if wearable), sometimes what material it is, and how much a container can hold (in pounds) via descriptive categories that represent a capacity range. The Off-The-Shelf item values shown within ( ) are the accurate maximum capacities for those particular items when purchased. Other containers within the same descriptive category may have different maximum capacities. For example, the rucksacks sold in the Wehnimer's Landing general store inspect as 'slightly large' and player testing has shown that the maximum capacity is 40 lbs. The rucksacks weigh 4 lbs when empty, therefore, their total weight when filled to maximum capacity is 44 lbs.

The min/max values for each category are somewhat speculative and further player testing is needed to refine these ranges.

Description Capacity (lbs.) Off-The-Shelf Items

Very Small <2 4
Small 5 7 small sack/herb pouch (5 lbs) WL GS
Fairly Small 8 11 small chest (10 lbs) WL GS
Somewhat Small 12 15 scabbard/sheath (15 lbs) WL GS

Medium 20 39 large sack (20 lbs) WL GS
Slightly Large 40 49 knapsack/rucksack (40 lbs) WL GS
Fairly Large 50 59
Large 60 69
Particularly Large 70 79
Very Large 80 99 small chest (80 lbs) WL GS
Significant 100 119 backpack (100 lbs) WL GS
Exceptional 120 139
Huge 140 159
Incredible 160 179
Enormous 180 199
Gigantic 200 1000 Commonly found boxes from the treasure system

† In addition to the 'very large' storage capacity within the small chests, a 'fairly small' amount can be stored on them. Since an empty chest weighs 6 lbs., the total weight of a chest filled to max capacity is 96 lbs.

Measuring Container Capacity

One popular method is to buy full leathers from the armorer (which weigh 10 lbs each) and daggers (which weighs about 0.50 lb each) and load them into a container until you've reached the container's limit.
