Skyrim: 5 ways to increase your carrying weight

All players of Skyrim find often that they are restricted with the amount of items that they can carry at any given time. This is refered to as Encumbrance.



By default, a character has an Emcumbrance (Carry) limit of 300 [units].

Here are five ways that you can increase the amount of item you can have in your inventory enabling you to carry more.

1. Leveling your Stamina increases your carrying capacity by 5 units


2. You are able to give items to your spouses or companions to elevate your own weight


3. Taking potions like Fortify Carry Weight can temporarily increase you carrying ability


4. The Seed Stone (located north of the Statue to Meridia and west of Solitude) will increase your carrying ability by 100 units


5. Enchant an item with the Fortify Carry Weight enchantment (this involves finding an item already with the enchantment and learning that enchantment)
