I'm planning on hunting Mountain Giants in P5, but I need a good place to climb that is preferably north of the ice road (don't have skates.) Mid 400s athletics. I'm hoping someone knows something that isn't on Elanthipedia because right now I'm needing to run all the way to the undergondola to train athletics, and that makes me sad.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, should also mention since its winter skates are available at the crossing pond now.

Also as it is winter, skates are available at the pond in crossing for just some gold, if that might make thing easier.

Thanks for being in my corner Solomon, come back soon.

>Ice road needs to go away. Period.

Eh, it represents less of a hassle than taking a ferry/gondola does, I'd say.

What is the problem with requiring ice skates?

>>What is the problem with requiring ice skates?

Worth noting it's not required. You can still travel the ice road if you pause 6-10 seconds between each room. The only difference between that and swimming the route is that swimming has a hard RT you can't bypass (unless you have a flying mount, I guess).

I've heard a lot of good things about the trees in apes.

I didn't know about those when I hunted in the area so I ended up running to the gondola to climb too..then Corik's wall when climbing under the gondola slowed down.

I for one refuse to believe my character would lower herself to the point that she runs around with knives on her feet like some kind of non-sociopathic warrior of death.

>>Swimming is also a skill contest, rewards exp, and can be trained down to almost nothing. It also doesn't cause significant physical damage. None of these are true for ice roads.

AFAIK, the ice road is also a skill check (maybe not a good enough one for it to matter?), swimming sometimes trains terribly (providing no exp and high roundtimes), and you can literally drown and die in some areas.

>>If it is not teaching, it's because you've capped it, which also means you remove the RT almost entirely.

This is incorrect, because swimming relies heavily on strength (and, to double dip in the pain, burden) when it comes to RT reduction.
