Climbing Is A Route Skill
The best reason to learn Climbing is a route you can use immediately. It is the difference between a visible ledge and a reachable path, especially above the Old Mine and around hidden Colony shortcuts.
- Cost: 5 LP.
- Trainer: Theron from Chapter 1.
- Unlock: Aiming High plus six Black Sage.
Check The Payoff Before Training
If you are preparing for The Temple of Innos, Climbing is an important gate. If you are still failing ordinary camp fights, compare the same 5 LP with weapon mastery, Strength, Dexterity, or Mana before committing.
- Exploration route: learn when a ledge or mountain path is next.
- Combat route: bank LP when survivability is the blocker.
- Save route: confirm the lesson before beginning the long climb.
