Changes: Weight

Revision as of 06:25, 3 April 2015

Every item in RuneScape has weight, which can affect a user in their gameplay. Players can see the total weight of the items they have equipped or are carrying in their inventory on the "Equipment Stats" screen. It's measured in kilograms (kg). Some items weigh with a fraction but the Equipment Stats screen will round it to the nearest kilogram. The weight affects the player's energy time, but the Agility skill helps overcome this. As far as the energy drain rate is concerned, having negative weight is the same as having 0 kg of weight. Some activities in RuneScape require players to not weigh more than a certain amount. Example: diving off Port Khazard during and after Recipe for Disaster (Pirate Pete subquest); walking on the bridge in Temple of Ikov requires players to have negative weight.

Stackable items such as runes and coins and other items do not weigh. Some items also reduce weight instead of adding, which is very useful for quests or activities that require a lot of running.

Weight reducing items

Currently, wearing the combination of a spottier cape, boots of lightness, penance gloves, graceful hood, graceful top and graceful legs allows the player to have weight as low as -27.5kg. This is the minimum amount of weight currently possible. All weight reducing items are wearables and have to be worn to 'activate' the weight reduction.

Weighing

Since some items' weights which have fractions are rounded off in the Equipment Stats screen, it's hard to tell the real weight. Fortunately, there are some known weights to help find out. These items are also not hard to find.

Item	Weight (kg)
Gnomeball	0.5
Ground bat bones	0.1
Empty oyster	0.08
Vial of water	0.02
Any key (gold-colored)	0.01
Rock (elemental)	0.001
