Description

What does this do?
Decreases jewelry weight to realistic levels (nobody is carrying around 100kg rings). Also makes lightness jewelry more useful.


But why?
The current jewelry weights made little sense and made lightness jewels which can already be considered the worst choice even worse.

I think this is great, thanks for making it. I wouldn't want to play the game without it!

I was considering making the reduced weight / extra carry bonus based on the item weight exclusively for the lightness variant but the backlash I got was instant and furious. So I didn't ><

You can get lightness jewel weighting 35 units, and giving 200 bonus, so you in net gets 165 units. This is still not the greatest ring to have, but it have some niche uses, for example on characters being flying demons (x0.5 carry weight) so you can pack heavier armour on them. And better option would be to just boost bonus provided by this kind of jewel instead of droping weight of all jewels. Also crafting and gathering rings are great to use in villige. Also you can get like ring with Mystic Claw Attack, so you magic characters can have good red challenge option to fight with.

Rings are among the weakest craftable items while weighing almost the same with lightness jewels barely doing anything after subtracting their base weight.
It was mainly for balance reasons.

Yest it makes no sense, alsto that the rings use so many materials compared to other items. But it is for game balance reasons. Some things need to be unrealistic in game, or you will come with unplayable games. You want realistic rpg game? Spend few hours traveling from one villige to another, with mb one or two events, That would make so boring game (but realistic).

Hyperbole.
Also the weight units don't matter. A ring should not be in the same weight class as a full armor set. The main reason for the change is that it made things unnecessarily restrictive, especially lightness variants.

I'm not sure why you consider the weight units in game to be kilograms. It's obviously not. A steel greatsword weighs 200 units. Heaviest historical swords would weigh about 2kg. 200kg sword would be unusable.

Lol I guess you can use it as currency. But you should hire some guards for your money transport ;)
