::The table is only about selling armor, so no. Traders don't care about weight encumbrance, so thats not it either. I now think the idea is the weight limit the traders have for taking stuff with them. Still an odd calculation. Why would i produce heavy armor that is in demand when i can't sell it then? On the other hand i never had problems with reaching the weight limit...--[[User:Confused|Confused]] 14:26, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

:::You might not have had problems with reaching the weight limit, but I have. And even if you can get all the stuff the merchants bring for without reaching their weight limit, why not give them more than they want anyway? It's not like the pieces of armor you make while training your armorsmith are good for much else (except for melting, but I find that's more effort than its worth). So let them carry it away and leave your armor stockpile with more space. That's my opinion anyway, and I made the table in excel originally just for self-reference. I thought others might find it useful as well so I posted it. I hadn't thought about the time needed for hauling, but that IS a benefit, even if it's a minuscule one. --[[User:Mjo625|Mjo625]] 18:53, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

::::Well then lets just agree to disagree and point out the reasons in the article :) --[[User:Confused|Confused]] 00:02, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
