Using Ropes and Grappling Hooks

[Badwater]

There are two ways to be using and securing ropes: with a spike and with a grappling hook.

Spikes/rope and grappling hook/rope can both be used to lower yourself into a pit. If you find yourself in a pit, however, only tossing up a grappling hook can get you out or get you up and out the other side.

Using the PAW will not work with ropes. You must use your rope or rope and grappling hook by clicking on it and selecting Use in the radial menu. Then CRAP will give you options on what you want to do.

If a place has been setup for it, you now don't have to fly to get up cliff terrain! The builder has to have setup the place in question to use a grappling hook, but you can use a grappling hook to get up now! I have setup a place for you to test this and get used to how it works in the Marked Resting Area that I have in Peridotia Port. Find the sign and read the instructions.

This is a function I intend to use (already have in fact), so try it out so you know how to do it!

Do those with wings need the grappling hooks? If so when my halfling half gold dragon attempted to buy a grappling hook it was not at the shop.

Flight only works outdoors where it is allowed.

The grappling hooks have been modified at the merchant.

Spikes are only usable at pits, to lower yourself in, or to spike a door open or closed. You must use a grappling hook outdoors or to get yourself out of a pit.

!!!UPDATE!!!

As a note to all looking for information on this, due to the rollback of T1, grappling hooks and ropes no longer work.

In-fact, I don't believe the merchant that used to sell them has a store anymore, so this is more for those who might have them left over from older days.

For those returning players... if your PCs have purchased any of the camping equip (ie firewood, tinderbox, ect) catch me ingame because containers holding them are causing crash issues when the PC attempts to open the container.

Yes that is cause it is part of the crap system.. we will lose other things as well.. shame we can't mix the two systems
