What's up with the Gray Cowl glitch?

-

Hey everyone, I’ve run into a strange issue with the Gray Cowl in Oblivion. It used to give me +200 carry weight before the patch, but now it’s showing a -100 carry weight instead on my Xbox. I just got the item, so I’m pretty bummed about this. Has anyone else experienced this?

The Gray Cowl behaves a bit oddly. Instead of boosting your carry weight by 200, it actually reduces your encumbrance by that amount, which can speed up your movement. If you only have the cowl giving you that effect, it might just be a display issue. However, if you have other feather effects, there’s a known bug that can mess with how they interact. Try removing and then reequipping the cowl; it might help, though I know it can be a hassle.

It’s not the only feather effect I’m using, though! I was fine with my Plain Striding Boots, and we were working great together until the update hit. I’ve already tried taking off the cowl and even restarting the game, but it’s still not right. I’ll check out the wiki link you shared, thanks!
