Summary
- Skyrim players can increase carry weight using a ring and restoration loop exploit, allowing for thousands of extra points.
- Creative players can craft armor pieces with immense value and bonuses using the restoration loop exploit in Skyrim.
- Additional ways to boost carry weight include blessings and transformations, adding to the immersive experience of Skyrim.
A resourceful Skyrim player has created a brilliant method to maximize how many items they can hold in the game by rapidly increasing their carrying weight with the help of a specially designed ring. The fifth major game in the Elder Scrolls series is set 200 years after its predecessor and follows the Dragonborn on a quest to defeat a dragon who is destined to destroy the world. Launching in 2011, Skyrim is still as popular as ever 13 years on and has heaps of interesting things in the game that some players have yet to discover.
One of the many reasons why some players consider the RPG developed by Bethesda Game Studios to be a masterpiece is due to its highly engaging quests, enchanting open-world environments, and its extensive catalog of Skyrim mods. Another enjoyable feature in Skyrim for players is the ability to loot as much as possible, but that comes with some issues in regard to how much they can actually carry. Thankfully, there is a solution.
The Best Games To Play If You Like Skyrim
These games are must tries for those who love The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Bethesda's ambitious 2011 RPG.
Posting on Reddit. Skyrim player Justcwig shared with the community how they were able to make a powerful ring that increased their carrying weight by 32,373 points. By using the restoration loop exploit in the game, which allows players to infinitely boost their equipment enhancement abilities by using Fortify Enchantment potions and the Fortify Alchemy enhancement, Justcwig was then able to fortify a ring that enabled them to carry a vast number of items. Weapons and apparel items in the game don't weigh too much, but players tend to accumulate a lot of it, and wearing Skyrim's armor sets can affect stamina, draining it when sprinting or using power attacks and making it more difficult to move.
Skyrim Player Crafts Powerful Ring to Maximize Carry Weight
Recently, another player was able to make use of the same restoration loop exploit in Skyrim to craft themselves a heavy armor piece called the Legendary Dragonplate Insulated Cuirass. The clever player ended up with a piece of gear boasting 30,180 armor points and upping its value to 883,300 Septims, while also boosting their health by 63,858 HP.
Another way players can increase their carry weight in Skyrim is by using The Steed Standing Stone's blessing, which will add +100 to players' carry weight, or by entering beast form as a werewolf, which increases the carry weight by 2000. With so many immersive qualities and unique features still being discovered in Skyrim, it's little wonder why many fans of the franchise come back to the continent of Tamriel time after time.
