Weight



The Weight of items in RuneScape refers to how heavy they are, and is measured in kilograms (kg). Every item has a weight, although it may be zero (for example, stackable items or even negative, such as the boots of lightness).

Players can see the total weight of the items they are carrying on the Equipment Stats screen from the Worn Equipment interface. This will include items they have equipped as well as those carried in the inventory. Many items weigh fractions of a kilogram, but the Equipment Stats screen rounds down to a whole kilogram.



Effects of weight
Carrying more weight causes energy to decrease more quickly, but a higher Agility level will allow this to recover at a higher rate. Players who undertake activities requiring a lot of running around would be well advised to minimise the total weight they carry whilst doing so, since they will be able to run for longer.

Some activities in RuneScape require players to weigh no more than a certain amount. For example, whilst doing the Pirate Pete part of the Recipe for Disaster quest, players must be carrying no more than 27 kg to dive off Port Khazard. Also, in order to use the Balloon transport system, players must be carrying less than 40 kg.

Weight limits
Some of the heaviest items in RuneScape include Stone slabs and Barrels of coal-tar, both of which are 32 kg each. Filling the entire inventory up with either of these items increases the total inventory weight to 896 kg.

The lowest weight that any player in Runescape can have is -13.5 kg. To obtain this weight, the following items need to be equipped: Boots of lightness, Spottier cape, and Penance gloves. Each item takes the weight down by 4.5 kg.

The heaviest any player can be is 983kg whilst wielding a Granite platebody, Granite helm, Granite legs, Bandos boots, Diving apparatus and the Barrelchest anchor (or Stone of Power from the Fist of Guthix minigame), with a full inventory of either stone slabs or coal-tar barrels.
