weight while naked
 

Hey,

I've just started leveling a monk, and I am having some serious weight limit issues. I can barely hold my weapons and armor, and I can farm maybe 10-15 mobs before I have to run to a vendor. I noticed (after dieing) that my weight was 30/80 with literally nothing in my inventory or equipped. Is there a reason for this?

Sounds like a glitch. Your UI might display 30 stone, but in reality its 0

You don't need to worry too much about the weight issue at your level. Just keep killing stuff, but don't get to the point of encumbrance.

But, when I go over my weight limit (80), my AC goes down. When I looted my corpse, every item added to the 30.

My main was a monk all through my classic tenure. This is the breakdown for classic/Live monk weight restriction to stay under without AC penalty:

Level 1-14: < 15
Level 15-29: < 16
Level 30-44: < 17
Level 45-50: < 18
Level 51-54: < 19
Level 55-59: < 21
Level 60: < 25

The 30 stone while stripped sounds like a bug. Might consider posting it to the Bug forum.

Repeat after me 50 times. AC IS BROKEN IN P1999 for a Monk below level 50. It does not make a bit of difference. I know your AC will go down but it does not make a crap. Get over it until you are 45 or higher.

I really don't care about the AC. I was just suggesting that it wasn't a UI bug because once I hit the cap, I can see a reduction. What I do care about is losing speed. That makes a HUGE difference.

I wish I could test it further right now, but my brother is playing right now, and I've had an ip exception in for 3 days.

Speed? Attack speed or movement speed?

One never happens and the other one doesn't until you exceed your weight limit.

Yes. And I'm easily exceeding my weight limit because I'm carrying 30 lbs from no where. =/

Well that is a valid problem that should not exist.
