Title: How do I...
Post by: FlamingKittenMittin on November 03, 2007, 12:21:00 pm

How do I jump off cliffs?

Oh and how do I swim?
-edit-
Ok found out how to do both of those. I went bungy jumping off the side of a mountain and died. Fun stuff.

First, for swimming, get some Swimming xp, either from the start or by walking in a brook.
If you're in water without any swimming skill, you'll just be stuck in the bottom.

Then, type Alt+arrow for entering/getting out of water or for stepping off a cliff.

You can't get swimming skill by walking around in a brook, most sadly (least, not in my experience).  You have to find at least (1/7) water to train swimming.  Also, you won't necessarily be *stuck*.  Sometimes, you will move (even in 7/7 water with Dabbling swimmer skill), but it's unlikely that you'll be moving in the direction you'd prefer, and if you really are just Dabbling you're probably going to die if the water level's high enough to drown you.

Dang, I wish I had known this before jumping in the pool.
