Rope & Spikes

Power 4
Effect Prevents you from falling into a pit trap, and is lost
Price 13–20 gold
Value 3–25 gold
Can Attack In Overworld, towns
Sold At Level 1
The Rope & Spikes isn't really a Weapon, though you can use it to Attack outside of dungeons. In a dungeon, it serves a different purpose entirely. If you walk into a pit trap and have at least one Rope & Spikes (it doesn't need to be readied), you will avoid the trap. However, the Rope & Spikes are lost, so you'll need to buy a large supply when delving deeply into dungeons.

The Rope & Spikes isn't actually a Weapon, but rather a tool to climb out of pit traps. Except there are no pit traps in this version of the game, so actually it's a complete waste of money. Don't buy these, and sell any you earn in other ways.
