As in many other games, the weight of your gear in Dragon's Dogma 2 affects your weight capacity and therefore your movement speed. This guide shows you how you can increase your weight capacity.
Highlights:
During character creation, you can maximize your carrying capacity by moving all sliders to the right.
Level-ups and Golden Trove Beetles increase your maximum carrying capacity.
Your status in Dragon's Dogma 2 changes depending on how much equipment you are carrying. The game distinguishes between six different states about your weight capacity:
While you have a high movement speed with a status of “Very light” and hardly use any stamina while sprinting, the last is no longer possible at all in an overloaded state, just like jumping.
The heavier and bigger your character is, the lower your stamina regeneration will be.
So, as always, it is important to find the right balance and increase your weight capacity to progress quickly enough.

As mentioned, you can influence how much you can carry right at the start of the game. During character creation, you can increase your weight capacity to the maximum by moving every bar that has to do with the size or musculature of a body part to the right. Naturally, your character will then look correspondingly bulky. Also, bear in mind that your character will have less stamina regeneration with increasing size and weight.
Depending on your play style, however, it may not be necessary to create a massive giant. If you don't always have to carry the heaviest equipment, but perhaps prefer a light and airy assassin's outfit, you can also create your character slim and petite and increase your maximum load in other ways:
Every Gold Trove Beetle increases your maximum load by 0.15 kilograms.
You can also give the golden beetles to your vassals. They will then receive the same benefit. In general, you should pay as much attention to the weight capacity of your vassals as you do to your own. Have you found any other ways to increase your maximum equipment weight?
