Elin:Weightlifting

Weightlifting increases the weight capacity of your character. In order to train it, you must be carrying enough weight to have the Burden, Burden!, Overweight, or Squashed debuff.

NPCs who learn Weightlifting from a skill book will train Weightlifting all the time, without the need to carry sufficient weight.

A player's maximum carrying capacity is influenced by their Strength and Endurance Attributes in addition to their weightlifting level.

Stat	Capacity increase per level
Strength	0.5
Endurance	0.2 - 0.3
Weightlifting	2.0

Training Weightlifting

As stated above, in order to raise their weightlifting skill turns must pass while a player is encumbered.

One method of passively training the skill is to create and hold statues in the player's inventory while engaging in a time consuming task such as fishing, log cutting, forging ingots, or other such stationary actions. When performing such actions, it can be helpful to place a storage container or shipping chest directly next to the processor in order to deposit items to prevent the player from becoming squashed by the weight of their backpack. In the case of fishing, placing a refrigerator, sawmill, and/or a brewery barrel can allow the player to quickly remove excess weight.
