What is the cooldown for seeing the message, "Attention! The loot you are trying to pick up is too heavy for you to carry"?

Question

When the message "Attention! The loot you are trying to pick up is too heavy for you to carry" appears because you're trying to quick-looting something heavier than your remaining cap. There is a cooldown for this message to reappear. How long does it take?

i must be wrong but it has nothing to do with the specific item that you are trying to pick up? if we for example take into account the red message about your "container is full" seems to only show up if you run out of space with a new backpack or if you remove the items and turn your bp avaliable again (and again run out of space basically reseting it)

so what if:

When X item is trying to be picked up and you haven't enough cappacity the message wouldn't show up for that specific item until Y conditions are meet (which restart if you get enough cappacity pick up the item, and run out of cappacity again)

what i mean is, maybe that message will not trigger again for that specific item unless something change and that has nothing to do with time but with your in-game behaviour, and i said this because i had seen that same message in different times but all those lower than 1h (it happens frequently when you loot rusted armors for example)

Answer 1

I didn't find out any cooldown (time) for it.

But once you enter another area, you will get the red "attention"-message again. You can for example test it by not having cap trying to loot something north of the mountains in Zao, then entering the tp to south and trying to loot there just a few seconds after and you will get the message again.

"Area" might be a little strangely defined tho. For example on Barkless the north side with the fanatics is a different "area" than the south side with devotees. If you cross the questdoor going from north to south part, you will get the red attention message again, just a few seconds after you had it in the north.

Answer 2

The "message" will reappear every time you try to loot a corpse and you DO NOT have the capacity for the items you are looting. Your Capacity is Showed below your Arrow Slot (in game). If you are having issues with your capacity try to imbue your backpack.

Good Luck

I think OP means the red message.

It doesn't appear red every time you try to loot a corpse with no caps. It appears white in your server log, but not displayed red on your screen. I will remove your downvote once you test this out and give a correct answer. I know you're new, but this is false information.

Answer 3

I believe the red message has an hour cooldown. I know as an EK it will show up once and I need to watch my cap. and by the time we refill and such the next time it pops up it is red again. It might be less than an hour but definitely not more

I know I tested it out while hunting for over an hour it only appeared once and never again as you mentioned. I believe it is x amount of time while not looting any corpse... I read your answer wrong originally my mistake. I just would like a definite answer and I will totally upvote your answer if you test it out :)
