Weight limit increase tips
So, you probably hit a wall of carrying too much, right? There's a weight limit and on the corner right side it keeps telling you, "hey, buy more weight limit." Don't do it. There's ways around to keep your weight limit increased, and here i'll list them for you to make it easier for you to progress.

1) hercules gear: 2-piece gives you 150LT and 3 will give you 200. W/o any gear at around lvl 50, you'll have 400LT. How useful is hercules? Recommended pre-50. By 50+ you'll start to notice that you'll need better gear. Putting more than 5 crystals per slot into hercules seems like a wastes as there are better options for gear like the grunil's 5-7AP, heve's extra HP, or agerian's +3 attack speed.

2) belts: The cheapest and easiest being Rhutum Elite belt for 60LT and asula belt being media item for a 100LT being the more difficult. The rhutum elite belt can have you up to asula belt, so it's considered a pre-53 belt. Upgrading? Perhaps you should hold off as it is a belt before asula. What's worse is that the asula belt is only good up to pre-valencia as you'll need more AP and accuracy.

3) crystals: For the gloves you can get 15LT for a total of 30LT, for shoes you can get 20LT for a total of 40LT and chest piece for another 20LT for a total of 40LT as well for a maximum of 110LT increase because of crystals for "2 crystal slot" armors.

4) loyalties: it costs 3500 loytalties to increase 1 class 50LT for a maximum of 200LT (14,000 loyalties). Is it worth it? For 14k loyalties, you can unlock 2 extra classes. 14 days value pack? Don't do that, that's really not worth your 14k. The weight limit increase is only worth it on your main class and/or life skiller class.

5) Increasing your strength. To do this, you can look up youtube vids on how in any city. Best way is to get as many potions as possible (99% LT) and buy 1 or 2 trade items from the trader. This makes your character carry a backpack that's right above your weight limit. You will have to make a looping path (prefered in town) to go back and forth for hours. I haven't done this but from my understanding you have a max of 50LT doing this for a total of 24 hours to do. I'm not sure, but someone can verify it for me.

So from all of this you can go from 400LT to 1060LT for free. Of course this takes alot of time and patience. I'm not saying you can do all of these in just a few minutes. It's just an idea of what and how you can increase your limit without paying extra money. Just so you know how much money is it for weight limit, it's 600 pearls for 50LT ($6) or 1700 pearls for 200LT ($17), and to match the 660LT increase it is class to $57. Doing the free way will probably take 2 days if you're persistant (strength increase). The problem with the free way is that hercules gears is practically useless above 50, asula belt is useless after 56ish, and crystal LT increase are better use for other crystals such as AP and accuracy at 56+.

There are other options that'll help such as your horse can carry a total of 120LT majority of the time and a minimum wagon is 600LT with a weight increase for any of them going in the thousands. Utilitizing your horse and wagon is important as the weight limit increase isn't needed as much as you think. I have run across some problems though as I am in sausan and I do fill up pretty quickly getting about 10mil an hour. The closer my wagon is to sausan the more silver I can make as I can drop and continue farming. I have hit multiple limits and it is important to have a high wagon weight limit to increase your farming. I know there will be people that'll say they paid $200+ for weight limit increase. Kudos to them, that's money I can't utilize for a single game. I'd rather use $200 on other games, and if I had to spend more than my fair share for a game, I'd have to switch out of it. Fair share being more than premium game of $60 (becuase I was a console player). I hope this is helpful for you newbies that have a weight limit problem. If you need any help with ways to play this game for free, I'll put up more tips.

As addition, Zereth Armor (chest piece) also adds another 50LT, so it's possible to have 3-piece hercules and zereth armor for a total of 250LT from armor.

Hope this helps but in order:

2) Asulas is one of the best mid-teir belts you can get, it is one of the best pieces to replace first but until you can get something on the level of a duo shultz belt or duo core belt it is still a great belt, so it is good until long after you seem to think, it is the worst piece of the set but still good long past 56 with enhancing being like it is

3) crystals are almost never worth it for weight since you they can break and there are far more useful things to put there unless you really, really need the little bit extra for some reason

4) weight is one of the most useful things to use loyatly on, with character slots and artisan memories being the only thing better, esspecially if you level a lot of alts since its free weight, though the storage expansions are a good buy too, though this is one of the player preferance things

5) I have done this on a couple characters, you only need a trade item in your inventory, you dont need to be over your weight limit to get the pack, and since the strength exp is based distance traveled you want to be under so your speed is faster and it starts taking a long time for small gains so most players wont level strength past 30/31 or so since after that the time per weight you get isnt worth it anymore, you want to buy a trade item and set up and auto loop path to walk on then just let it afk

The problem I see is that 1000LT isnt even that much. When grinding sausans etc you'll have full cw in no time. The base LT should be much, much higher

I know, I do it too. My class is wearing 2 Hercules, asula belt and crystals (1060LT) in sausan with my wagon close by for another 600LT which I can overload for a total of 1000LT maxing 2000LT.

What is this in terms of grinding? The pieces 1000 for a gold bar is 0.3LT so 300LT for 1 gold bar (also 3,333 silver per piece if you look at it this way: 6.6mil max). That's not all: grunil, heve, books, crystals, and trade items too maximizing around (crystals and grunil auction for around 10k+ per 1LT) 11mil per run. Before you leave sausan, you throw away the branches, melt the krea, and perhaps turn in the trade coins however the 3k coins are not worth the silver for 3k for 1LT when you have other items going for more.

I do this once an hour, and I know that I'm severely outclassed against those with grunil, heve or boss gear, but I can out grind most of them before turning anything in.

Agreed. Or a better or alternative way to gain LT than paying 120$ cdn for 1 character. Strength barely gives you any. and it would take an entire month 24 hours a day of afk walking with a pack to cap that out. And thatd give maybe 60 LT at lvl 50 str. Not much for the time investment required
Account wide LT increases in cash shop would be the more realistic/honest company approach. But like well ever see that. *sadface*
Please...could we see that?

So after reading the posts here I am more confused??? AFK walking will raise Str in turn raise LT, is there a cap to the amount of AFK walking you can do? what is the max lvl for Str? once you have the pack how do you get it off your back??

To get rid of the pack you need to get rid of the trade item. You can sell the item, destroy it, or just once use it to get knowledge of it since that consumes it.
The cap I beleive is 50 but there is a soft cap around 30 where it starts taking almost a full 24 hrs of afk walking to see a level up, so after 30-32 area most people dont bother after that since the gain per time is minimal.

If you hover your mouse over the Str exp bar in your profile, default key is p, then it shows you how much weight you are getting from it as well.

My comment in regards to strength training. You DO NOT NEED to carry more than max weight for this. You need 1 trade pack. and that is all. Carrying over cap weight does NOTHING except slow this down. Also...Strength training to 50 would take about an entire year of afk walking without playing even once other than to afk walk. So this isnt a great option. Lvl it to 30. move on to better ♥♥♥♥.

the rest of your options are pretty sound tho. (:

At first look, seemingly expensive.
But they work for your whole family.
