The Stealth skill allows players to move undetected while hidden. It requires a minimum of 80 Hiding skill to activate. Players receive a set number of Stealth steps per activation and must wait for the Stealth Skill Use Timer before reactivating stealth.
Mechanics
- Must have at least 80 Hiding to be able to use Stealth.
- Players gain
(5 + (10 * (Stealth Skill / 100)))Stealth steps per Stealth activation. - After the Hiding Skill Use Timer has expired, a system message appears: "You feel comfortable enough to begin stealthing."
- Players have a
(100% * (Stealth Skill / 100))chance to successfully stealth after being hidden for 10 seconds.- If they fail, they are revealed.
- While Stealthing, if the player moves more than their available steps before the Stealth Skill Use Timer expires (10s), they must wait before continuing Stealthing.
- The system will display: "You feel ready to continue stealthing." when they can move again without revealing.
Auto-Stealth Command
- If a player has Auto-Stealth enabled:
- When 10 seconds have passed since their last Stealth use and they still have Stealth Steps remaining, they receive the message: "You will automatically stealth when out of steps."
- If they reach 0 Stealth Steps remaining, they receive: "You feel ready to continue stealthing." (if the cooldown has expired).
