Containers are important for any character. They make it so you can carry much more than you normally would be able to without them. For best results, use worn containers.

Weight reduction = % by which the container reduces when full. i.e. hobbit-made backpack makes 6 bottles weigh 4, so thats a 33% reduction

Some containers have better bonuses when worn, so its organized under weight reduction like so: worn/not worn. If only one value shown then there is no difference.
