Main / Skills / Climbing

Description

Climbing is the skill of climbing slopes that are too steep for you to walk across normally (those with over 23 slope).

Your climbing skill will increase the more you climb, but body stamina affects how far you can climb more than climbing skill does.
Climbing consumes much more stamina than walking.
Climbing is turned on and off with the button that looks like a person ascending a slope in the quickbar (icon shown below).
If you are climbing uphill while dragging a cart or carrying lots of weight otherwise, your stamina drops considerably faster.
If you don't have enough stamina to activate climbing while you're swimming to get out of the water, then you can activate Last gasp.
Beware: some slopes are very steep, and once you have low stamina you will stop climbing -- possibly falling to your death.
When climbing and unable to find a sufficiently flat tile to rest, a small amount of stamina can be instantly restored by drinking wine. Many large mountains can be scaled by simply repeated drinking 1g of wine (measured in a measuring jug) whenever your stamina gets low.
