The number on the left is the weight of everything you're carrying.
The number on the right is your maximum carry weight.
If the number on the left is higher than the one on the left, You're carrying more than you can carry, hence 'over encumbered'
Drop some stuff.
You are correct..I've been thru everything several times,I don't see anything different that I'm carrying. Usually when you take a feather potion , the numbers on the right rise and get higer than the numbers on the left...Just the opposit is happening, I can't figure it out..I think the problem is elsewhere??Thanks
