When drinking water while swimming, don't do it immediately or you will refill your stamina immediately and it will stop drinking.

I learned the very hard way yesterday.

Don't swim until you have 60+ constitution and know the tricks to do it.

(Swimming is doable in the 40 con range, but with potential lag outs and whatnot, it is safer to have more just incase)

Removal is a terrible idea. It is incredibly useful.

It's insanely easy to swim anyways. It's possible with the water trick to swim a river with like 20 const (i don't recommend it) and swimming can save your life.

Swimming is really useful when you are tracking someone far away and don't want to carry a boat at crawl speed.

Also It can save your life or end someone's else.

When shit hits the fan you won't have 3 days to make one, and I believe that people won't be happy with you stealing their boats for an "emergency".



I'd also recommend switching gradually to barbarism when you can access INT boosting gear or in a higher grade of development. Going full barbarism is the only way to get a CON boost.

In W5 at the CS for Paradise there was a spot that was swimmable with 10 con

Wow you guys suck at life...

You can swim a river with 10 con and a water skin full of q10 water. You don't need 60 con lol
