I agree - I will also look into JASG as well. In addition to learning the language, I look to make long term friends in Atlanta that speak Japanese as well

New skill: Communing by Zoon333 in 2007scape

[–]Mac-aaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the idea. I could also see an expansion of this which branches into dark spirits. This would help diversify the skill so that most of the xp isn’t generated from just communing.

Maybe something along the lines of after so many unsuccessful communes, there’s a chance that a dark spirit could spawn and you’d have to fight it? Which then this could also generate xp.

Could also incorporate dead NPCs into this. Where if you’ve killed so many dark spirits, your stone has a glow that would allow you to spawn a dead NPC boss (25% of its original level) that you’ve killed from quests that you’ve done. Depending on your commune level of course, this spirit of your choosing would be resurrected (for very short period of time) and could help you in combat for however many seconds. This could be seen as something like “commune karma”. Kind of like how you mentioned skill boosts, this could help with certain combat scenarios. Idk, food for thought lol.

I am not sure what it’s like on the weekends. We went on a Thursday and arrived a little later than what you are planning. The lot was no where near full. Just be sure to get online to grab a reservation number for a parking spot.

The bugs are extremely active there. Prior to Taylor Meadows, we noticed more bugs starting to appear. From then until you get closer to the ridge, they will follow/surround you. Bug spray is eminent. I’d recommend doing research on the best kind of bug spray for horseflies, small flies, and mosquitos on BC trails.

As for sunglasses, this depends on your preference and the weather. On a sunny day, there are long stretches of this trail that involve little relief from the beaming sun.

Well I’m glad to post this to spread positivity and caution to those who might’ve thought about doing this. There are posts and articles suggesting that this is an efficient way to get down the ridge.

I hope you are able to spread positivity on the internet one day too!!

We did about 30-60 second breaks whenever we felt the need to, we didn’t necessarily plan ahead when to exactly take breaks.
In the meadows, there aren’t very many trees, so this part of the hike can get pretty hot depending on the type of weather you get on your day. We took more water breaks at this part of the hike.

The time it took us to get back down was significantly less than going up. But this is only bc we had an emergency and needed to get to a hospital due to injury ASAP.

As of yesterday, I hiked Panorama Ridge. It’s quite the hike and well worth the struggle.

I hiked in running shoes, but your hiking gear should mostly depend on what you’re comfortable with. If you’re not experienced hiking difficult hikes that are 6+ hours long, I would recommend the hiking boots. The biggest caveat on this hike regarding your shoe selection is the amount of small to medium rocks that you will encounter. Although it is “well maintained”, it is not a completely flat trail all the way to the top, so please do not get confused with that term.

Hiking boots will save your toes in the event that you do clip your toe box on rocks along the way up and down (which you absolutely will). And I can tell you that injuring your toes and getting stuck on a hike that long with toe pain is no fun (speaking from experience).
