Ropes



Rope is an item added in 1.2. The Merchant sells rope for 10 copper a unit and it can be found in chests, vases and pots. 10 rope pieces can be crafted into a Rope Coil, which can be thrown at a surface causing up to 10 rope to be placed directly below. Rope acts exactly the same as an Iron Chain but unlike a chain, can be purchased but not crafted.

Player can use vertically attached rope to quickly move up and down, at a speed which equals to speed of freefall, however moving down on rope and hitting the ground will not cause any damage. Player can also move on horizontally attached ropes, although much slower than on vertical one.

Rope works very well to build a hellevator due to the fact that you can move down it at the same speed as falling and move up it fairly fast as well. It is very easy to obtain and can just be placed at the top of a hellevator over and over again to bring the rope all the way down.

If the player places rope while standing on a wood platform the rope will be placed beneath the platform and will lengthen downward as long as placement continues, until it hits a solid obstacle.
