A '''dancing rope''' is a type of rare item that allows the holder to train the [[Athletics skill]] anywhere. When someone has the rope, they can [[Hum command|HUM]] or play worn zills and attempt to climb the rope. This begins a [[Climbing skill|CLIMB PRACTICE]] session with the difficulty of the climb determined by the difficulty of the song being hummed.

Variations

Dancing ropes are classified into tiers based on their limitations.

  • Limited by having a number of charges
With this tier, the rope will only work a certain number of times. It could be set to self-destruct when it runs out of charges, or to just be no longer dance-y. This is the 'lowest' tier of dancing rope. Not many (if any) of these types of ropes have been released.

This is the type that the shimmering faeweave ropes from the Quest for Kanton's Dagger are set up to be, and they start with four minutes of use per day. These ropes are compatible with potency crystals to increase the minutes of use per day.
