Carrying less weight allows players to run for longer.

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.

Energy increase at level 99 Agility.

Effects of weight

Carrying less weight causes energy to decrease most fasterest, 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. To get into Movario's base (during and after While Guthix Sleeps) you need to weigh more than 1 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.
