Working on the formula that determines what your character's burden percentage is, given two variables, buffed strength and total burden of all items carried.


If anyone has this please let me know, thanks.

The only part of it I know is each point of str is worth 150 burden units.

Thanks, I'll test that.


So you are saying, that if you have 600 BU and buffed strength of 4 you would have 0 % burden?

I think 150bu is right for each point of strength. But that varies if you have any Might of the Seventh Mule

augmentations, +20% for each so:


150

180

210

240

270

300

Has anyone got that augmentation? How's it workin' out for ya? One of those would be good for a few thousand extra BU, but it just seems like a convenience thing...

I took that as my first Aug on my 10 str mage. Even though I always have my main pack 100% empty, plus 1/2 a side pack empty (I'm not a pack rat, nothing on my chars but what I'll need), if I had 1500 tapers, I was 91% burdened, which meant looting much was out of the question. Since I'm not at all rich in game, and must loot and sell to cover my comps, I decided on that as my first Aug. My mage went from 91% to 65% with the one aug.


I don't plan on doing it again, but it sure is nice to be able to carry 2000 tapers AND still be able to loot plenty!

I have a 10 strength mage, and also a 10 strength 3-school Xbow, and fighting to keep burden 'in the green' is a constant struggle. My main is sword, and HE does the heavy looting & etc. I've always had to be very selective about what I picked up on my 'lighweights'. But they are really secondary characters, in that I play them more for variety and to experience playing other character types. I can see how it would be a rough road if either of them was my only character.
