Effects

A crystal tear formed slowly over the ages where the Erdtree's bounty falls to the ground.

Can be mixed in the Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Temporarily reduces equipment load.

Basin on the cliffs east of Hermit Merchant's Shack

Capital Outskirts

Starting Site of Grace: Hermit Merchant's Shack

1. Begin at Hermit Merchant's Shack north of Leyndell's outer-wall battlefield. Travel east along the high ground toward the cliffs.
2. Look for the collection bowl guarded by Skeletal Snails, west of the Minor Erdtree. Stay on the upper ground rather than going down to the tree's basin.
3. Collect the tear from the bowl. A Deathbird can appear nearby at night, so visit during the day if you want to avoid that extra fight.

Notes

• Temporarily raises maximum equip load for three minutes, making a heavy setup easier to carry while the effect lasts.
• Check your normal equip load before relying on it. When the buff ends, the same equipment can leave you heavy rolling or overloaded.
• It changes carrying capacity, not the actual weight shown on your weapon and armor pieces.
• Rest at a Site of Grace and choose Mix Wondrous Physick to use this tear. Drinking the flask uses its charge; resting refills it without consuming the tear.
• It does not change the normal thresholds: a light load stays below 30% of maximum, and a medium load stays below 70%. The temporary increase to maximum capacity makes the same equipment occupy a smaller share of that limit.
• It does not improve stamina, poise, defenses or dodge invulnerability directly. The benefit comes from carrying the same equipment at a lower share of your temporary capacity.
• Equip-load talismans and Endurance affect your ordinary capacity separately. Leave a plan to remove heavy equipment or end the fight before the three-minute effect expires.
• A lighter displayed load during the buff is temporary. Resting, dying or the effect ending does not permanently reduce the weight of an armor set.
