For anyone who hasn't bothered to try these out, give them a shot. I just climbed across the branch in undergondola with a spider climb, rope, and 349 ranks of climbing. Not sure what kind of boost they give, but take away the rope and I got 8 sec rt.

The ropes give a pretty big boost. As a non-ranger without Spider Climb and only 138 in climbing, I was able to climb from the southern end of Undergondola all the way north to Leth.

I hope you mean through leucros and not via the branch, in which case you nearly have enough Climbing to do it anyway.

From my experiences with non-rangers appraisal and a rope is almost as good as a capped spider climb.

Like I said, from the southern end- Which is indeed over the log. I still can't climb up that pesky branch! ;)

Aa an aside... How about we add climbing ropes to the next mech system. Just braid a few more vines into a lead rope, and Bam! Climbing rope.

They're already the next step up in the current system, you just need enough mech to make one. Its around 100 or so to make the heavy rope from grass.

I new I should have tried to make it before i posted. I had just never heard anyone say to keep going, so I didn't.

Thanks.

Can you braid climbing ropes?

Keep braiding past lead rope, and you'll get a heavy rope with assists with climbing.

Erm, did that get turned on already for the heavy rope? I know they had said they liked the idea of making it so we could use a braided rope, but at the time only the heavy coiled buyable rope worked. Don't recall seeing anything about it getting turned on; could have missed it though.

I braided a rope which worked.
