Template:Infobox Encumbrance refers to the amount of weight you are carrying and how that weight impedes or hinders you. On the paper doll, there is a statistic called "Weight", which is followed by two values that are separated by a "/". The first value is how much weight you are currently carrying. The second value is your Encumbrance Capacity.
Encumbrance Capacity
Encumbrance Capacity is the amount of weight you can carry without suffering a penalty (i.e. carry capacity). For details on this statistic and what things effect it, see Encumbrance Capacity.
Over-Encumbrance
If the weight you are currently carrying exceeds your encumbrance capacity, then you are considered over-encumbered and you receive penalties (i.e. debuffs).
When you are over-encumbered, a yellow "over-encumbered" icon appears in the upper right of the game screen (see example of icon above). If you hover your mouse of the icon, you will see the debuffs that you have incurred. The greater your over-encumbrance, the greater the debuffs you receive. In other words, the more overloaded you are, the more it will negatively impact your avatar.
There are several tiers of over-encumbrance:
- Carrying up to 2.0x your encumbrance capacity - the yellow icon will not have an exclamation point; you experience a slower Move Rate and reduced Dexterity.
- Carrying over 2.0x your encumbrance capacity - the following tiers all result in continuous draining of your Focus while moving†, slower Move Rate, and reduced Dexterity.
- Carrying 2.0x to 2.5x your encumbrance capacity - the yellow will not have an exclamation point.
- Carrying 2.5x to 3.0x your encumbrance capacity - the yellow icon has a red exclamation point (!).
- Carrying more than 3.0x your encumbrance capacity - the yellow icon has a red exclamation point (!). When you have reached this encumbrance level you cannot gain items from looting or trading.
- † In any scene with player housing, the Move Rate penalty will be applied, but not the focus loss (which makes carrying very heavy loads within a town less painful).
The penalties applied for over-encumbrance are intended to inconvenience players who are trying to perform what would normally be considered impossible feats of carrying far more than was intended. If the player runs out of focus from the focus drain, the player cannot move until the some focus is regained.
Trivia
- Encumbrance was first added in Release 14. Previously, players could carry any amount and still move at a decent speed. Focus would slowly drain away at a constant rate, but running out of focus would not prevent movement.
- Encumbrance was revised significantly for Release 35.
- The 3x encumbrance cap, and being fully encumbered blocking loot and trade was added for Release 60.
