Further describe weight reduction mechanics

New page

Weight reduction is a service applied to containers which reduces the [[encumbrance|weight]] of items carried within the container. It is typically available at [[Rumor Woods]]. Weight reduction is applied to the contents of the container individually; a container which can hold 200 pounds and has 20% weight reduction will apply that 20% weight reduction to each item in the container rather than holding the first 40 pounds weightlessly.

'''Note''': The weight reduction applied to a container applied only to the portion of the container's capacity that existed at the time of the service. For example, if you apply a 20% weight reduction to a container with 100lbs of capacity, and then you deepen the container to 200lbs of capacity, the 20% weight reduction will apply only to the first 100lbs. In this scenario, a loresong on the container will recall that the container will reduce the weight of items by "20% for the first 100lbs".

'''Tip''': Herb kits are a more popular choice than loot sacks. Smaller containers which remain mostly full will benefit more from this style of weight reduction than large, mostly empty containers.

==Rumor Woods Cost==

Weight reduction at Rumor Woods is purchased at [[RWShop:Couturier's Retreat|Couturier's Retreat]] from the seamstress in increments of 1% reduction per purchase. Asking about {{boldmono|[[APPRAISE]]}} with a container in hand will give you an estimate on the [[raikhen]] cost to apply 1% to that container. The cost is based on the carrying capacity of the container and its current level of weight reduction, with sharp price increases every 20%.
