Climbing:[/B]

EFU has an extensive climbing system, allowing characters to traverse what may appear as an impassable area. Climbing takes into the account various skills/stats/factors (f.e. Tumble, EFUSS Climbing, encumbrance, armor and various different factors). Rolling a “1” will result in critical failure. Upon failing the Climb check, your character will fall down and take appropriate falling damage (may result in death!). Not all areas are climbable.

There are several types of climbing systems in the game, each listed below.

[hide=Transition Climbing]
Quite simply as it says, click on a transition. Make a climbing check and climb up or slip down.
[/hide][hide=Player Tool Climbing]
This is the first method of climbing the many scalable cliffs/towers/walls in EFU:R. Simply go to player tools and select the climbing tool. Then when stood closely to the placeable or area you wish to climb up to or down to, click the player tool at the surface and attempt to climb. (Note: the check is harder to represent climbing with your hands).
[/hide][hide=Rope Climbing]
With the use of a rope, even the weakest or heaviest of adventurers can scale to their destination. In order to use a rope you must purchase one and place it using the rope on the surface. (Note: you can only lower ropes, so no climbing upwards without an ally lowering the rope down for you!)
[/hide][hide=Climbing Claw]
A claw enables players to swiftly move up and down cliffs or other placeables, using it in the same way as the player tool with the item property. It is easier to climb with a claw than using the player tool.
[/hide][hide=Grappling Gun/Hook + Rope]
The final form of climbing. A new implementation for EFU:R, players can now use this feature to cross chasms and rivers at certain places. Used in a similar way to the claw with an item property, firing the grappling gun across the opening you wish to climb will allow you to move to harder to reach (in some cases, impossible to reach!) places. It can also be used for when you receive a message that there is an opening in the ceiling above you - the rope with the hook can be then fired vertical. You will receive a message in the Combat Log once you reach a spot where the grapple gun can be used (such as an opening in the ceiling, chasms..).
[/hide][hide=Ladder]
Players can purchase a ladder - climbing one is very easy, but of course - one needs to carry it and such a thing weighs its' due!
