Weight, specifically Carry Weight and Carry Capacity is a mechanic in Avowed that limits the amount of physical items a player can carry at once. This includes weapons and armor, but excludes all other items such as clothing, accessories, materials, consumables, and quest items.
Weight[]
Weight is indicated by this icon.
All weapons and armor in Avowed have weight. Other items, including accessories, clothing, upgrade materials, consumables, and quest items do not have weight, and therefore do not contribute to the player's overall carry weight.
Generally, the weight of an item depends on its type, although some items are an exception to this rule.

Carry Capacity[]
Carry Capacity, also previously referred to as Carry Weight is the total amount of weight the player can carry before becoming encumbered, and is determined by their Might attribute. When a player's weight exceeds their Carry Capacity, they become Encumbered. This state significantly impacts movement speed and prevents fast travel.
Players start with a base Carry Capacity of 120 which is increased by for every point in Might.
