• If you are wondering why your Weight is higher than you expect, even after selling your loot, you might want to check how much gold you are carrying around.
  • As an individual item, gold is one of the lightest items in the game that isn't actually weightless. You need to be carrying ten pieces before any weight is even reported.

• Gold can be used from the Traveller's Chest when trading. Thus, it is not necessary to carry gold in your inventory for this purpose.
