Never gotten 1 to work

@Dies Fourth: I had a problem with these, too, until someone told me to keep my inventory open and watch my piton icon. When I'm near the edge of a cliff, the piton will usually light up. At that point, I can then start to place it. It can take a while, and sometimes I have to move my party, but eventually the rope will unfurl down the cliffside.

you can´t position it, if you want to go upwards .. so you have to stay on top of a wall top position it .. after that you can use the rope from both directions .. just rightclick the piton in inv and then you can see while position it, if it works ..

I kept trying and finally got 1 to work. It either said ground was to unstable or rope was to short till i found the right place for it, thanks for the help

well there are really many spots you can use them .. atm I have positioned somewhat about ten pitons all over the map .. some to reach unreachable areas (with some secrets) and some just to shorten a way - or for example to get over borders without paying 200 crowns (at the beginning)

of course rope is too short means you have to find shorter rockwalls .. unstable means you try to position it not "ontop" of the hill .. you always have to position it on a place, where you also can go to - which means somwhat a flat / non rocky position .. also it can tell you, that you are too far away - so you have to move your group more to the desired position first

Aye, someone, somewhere, in the programming group is a climber. Or done some in the past.
Anyone who has ever used anything like this in real life would get it (as I did) without a second's thought, hah. Why I feel they are well done, as they are.

And yea, I have them all over my map too. Used them when I...uh...make 'friends' with merchants...shortcuts. Getting to areas, with secrets or not, that I feel I want to sit on. Amazingly convenient.

These are pitons you all are talking about...used for going down. I wanna know when the grapple hooks are gonna be available so we can climb up

Going up seems to me also an important option. There are cases where you can be captured on a plateau when you forget to take enough ropes or pitons/hooks with you to climb down the second wall. In the iron hard mode, there is no way back in such a case. And this is a very unfortunate case for a "Game Over".
