Body strength

Main Page :: Useful links for beginners :: Characteristics :: Body strength

High body strength allows you to carry or drag heavier loads. It also increases damage in combat and on walls or fences.

Skills for improving your body strength include: mining, digging, and woodcutting.

20.5 body strength and soul strength is required to attack players on the home server.

Carrying capacity

The maximum weight a character can carry is 7 * body strength.

The integer part of body strength (e.g. 25 if 25.62) also determines how much you can carry before starting to move slower.

• Above 2*strength weight, speed drops to 3/4 of normal
• Above 3.5*strength weight, it drops to 1/4
• Above 7*strength weight, speed is only 1/20

For example the key values for 25.62 strength would be 50 kg, 87.5 kg and 175 kg, and the maximum possible load would be 179.34 kg.

Dragging

The maximum weight a character can drag is (((Body Strength * 7) - (Amount of weight you're carrying)) * 10) - Weight of cart or ship. If you drag more than this value, you will stop dragging the cart or ship as soon as you move.

For example, someone with 21 strength carrying 20kg of tools could drag a small cart, which weighs 60kg, filled with up to (147-20)*10-60=1210kg, which is 80 bricks.
