Main Page / Characteristics / Body / 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, farming, digging, smithing, and woodcutting.
Grinding: When grinding Body Strength by performing mining actions on rock with sleep bonus activated, it seems that body strength gain is more frequent when only doing one mining action at a time, instead of queuing up multiple actions to be done back to back. This has not been confirmed by multiple people, just based on observations.
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
Examples:
| Strength | 3/4 | 1/4 | 1/20 | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 40kg | 70kg | 140kg | 140kg |
| 25.62 | 50kg | 87.5kg | 175kg | 179.34kg |
Dragging
The maximum weight you can drag is limited by your body strength, it's generously much though.
Maximum weight you can drag = (Body strength * 7 - Weight you're carrying) * 10
To determine how much cargo you can drag in a small cart for example, you must simply subtract the weight of the small cart.
Maximum cargo = (Body strength * 7 - Weight you're carrying) * 10 - 60 (Cart weight)
The weight you're carrying is anything you're carrying in your inventory and anything you're wearing on your body. To determine how much weight you can carry to drag a specific weight, you can use the following formula.
Maximum carrying = Body strength * 7 - Weight you want to drag / 10
To determine how much body strength you need to drag a specific amount of weight you can use the following formulas as applicable.
Body strength required = (Total weight / 10 + Weight you're carrying) / 7
With an empty inventory: Body strength required = Total weight / 70 (Didn't think it was that easy now huh?) Body strength required = (Cargo weight + Cart weight) / 10 / 7 (See the resemblence?)
For example, someone with 21 body strength carrying 20kg of tools could drag a small cart, which weights 60kg, filled with up to (21BS * 7 - 20kg) * 10 - 60kg = 1210kg, which is 80 stone bricks. Remember the operator preceedence rules! If you want to drag 1235kg with your 22.90 body strength, you could carry 36.80kg = 22.90BS * 7 - 1235kg / 10 additional weight on your body and inventory.
Here's a small table of required minimum body strength for draggable items without any cargo.
| Draggable Container | Weight | Minimum Strength to Drag |
|---|---|---|
| Small cart | 60kg | <20 |
| Large cart | 240kg | <20 |
| Note: Boats must be floating to be dragged. | ||
| Small raft | 60kg | <20 |
| Rowboat | ?? | <20 |
| Small Sailing Boat | 140kg | <20 |
| Corbita | 1400kg | >20.00 |
| Cog | ~888kg | <20 |
| Knarr | 2000kg | 28.57 |
| Caravel | 2450kg | 35.00 |
