Climbing skill

The Climbing skill is both used and learned by climbing obstacles. A wide variety of such obstacles exist, from the easiest stairs, steps, and ramps to the hardest sheer cliff walls and barricades.

Uses/Learning

• Not every example of simple obstacles such as steps or stairs may be climbed. If it can't be climbed, just GO as you would through a door or gate.
• Learning for climbing is on a ~25 second timer. Which means you can only learn from one climb of any particular obstacle once every 25 seconds. If an obstacle is climbable from two directions, each direction is considered a separate obstacle that can be learned from.
• Failing to climb an obstacle teaches just as well or better than successfully climbing an obstacle, so an ideal training strategy is to attempt to climb many obstacles in a 25 second time, then repeat the loop if not mindlocked.
• Holding a weapon in one or both hands while climbing increases the amount of experience gained from the climb.

Things that Hinder Climbing

• The biggest hindrance to climbing is injuries
• Additional burden hinders climbing
• Holding weapons hinders climbing
• Holding non-weapon items completely prevents climbing (though some items can be DRAGged past a climb).

Abilities and Spells that Boost Climbing

• Being led by a superior climber increases climbing ability. Being led by a superior climbing Ranger increases it even more.
• Ranger Spider Climb
• Ranger wilderness bonus
• Warrior Mage Sure Footing spell
• Bard Drums of the Snake
• Thief - no abilities to boost climbing.
