Raising Your Carry Weight

Need Something to Help You Carry more?

Enchantments

When i first started playing Skyrim I was always finding myself over encumbered and it sucked. I was running back and forth to my house in White Run putting non-essentials into chest and then continuing on my way. If you are like me and hate unnecessary fast traveling because of all the time wasted loading, then you need an alternative. My alternative came when I was looting the merchant stands in Riften and came across the hide boots of lifting and after a while I had an epiphany, I could disenchant them and craft other items with the fortify carry weight enchantment. This ranged from rings, necklaces, boots, armor, hats, gloves, just about anything you can wear.

The Steed Stone

"Those under the sign of The Steed can carry more and do not suffer a movement penalty from armor."

The Steed Stone is a standing stone located at the top of a cliff to the northwest of Solitude, East of Fort Hraggstad, near Ironback Hideout. Activating the Steed Stone will obviously remove any effects from other standing stones and increases carry weight by a hundred. It also makes worn armor weightless.

Multiple Followers

It is true, in fact, I use Marcurio and the male Dark Brotherhood initiate as my followers. Marcurio can be found at the Bee and Barb in Riften and two Dark Brotherhood initiates are usable after you complete the majority of the Dark Brotherhood quest line. Now use of multiple followers isn't possible without following the instructions provided here: the multiple followers glitch. At some point your followers may start fighting each other and if they do I recommend fast traveling somewhere, that should stop the fighting. Also having to many followers can be a problem because they can get in your way, i.e. doorways, in front of chests, etc. that's why I stick to two. Back to the carry weight problem, with more followers you have more people to share your inventory with so you can carry much more and can take it back whenever you need.

If anyone has more suggestions for carry weight solutions, feel free to comment, but don't be an ass or a troll
