I bought a backpack off the shelf at Spitfire and deepened it as far as it can go. If I now proceed to lighten it will I lose some capacity? Or can you max both properties without a tradeoff?

You won't lose capacity.

It also can't be lightened as much as something not max deep for its slot.

Yeah, what KG said. I just managed to finish off an altered translucent spidersilk backpack at 6/145ish.

That's pretty good fox because it's outside the limits.


If a backpack weighs 6, it should only hold 120!


Pounds -- Capacity
4 -- 80
5 -- 100
6 -- 120
7 -- 140

I think it works like this. Feel free to chime in if you think I'm off base:

The capacity-weight is a formulaic ratio. I don't know exactly what it is, but lets say for the purpose of easy math that for backpacks it's 20-1. I won't get into the max and min precisely, but think of it this way in general terms: if the ratio is 20-1 and you lower the weight by a pound, you're giving up 20 pounds of potential capacity. This is why for most people it's probably best to try to max out the capacity first, and then work on getting the weight down.

Keep in mind that what KG said still holds: you won't give up capacity that you already have by lightening the container, you're only giving up potential capacity.

The only exception I'm not positive on is the material of the fabric. SOME PEOPLE say Vruul Skin can hold the most.
