“Shhh! Quit pointing at me! I’m being stealthy!”

The shadows of Britannia grow long, and may offer safety and cover to those with skill in Stealth. The person skilled in the ways of Stealth may learn to hide his movements.

Using

To use the Stealth skill to move silently throughout the lands:

• Dismount if you are mounted
• Hide by either using the Hiding skill, having Invisibility cast on you, or drinking an Invisibility Potion
• Once you have hidden successfully, walk a step and stealthing will begin automatically

If successful, you can walk a small distance while remaining hidden. Your character appears gray to you as long as you remain hidden. Running, or any act that would normally reveal you from Hiding, also reveals you while using the Stealth skill.

The number of steps your character can take while using the Stealth skill is equal to your Stealth score divided by 5. So, if your Stealth skill is at 80, you will be able to take 16 steps before becoming unhidden.

Because stealthy movement requires a knowledge of hiding and moving within shadows, you must be very skilled in the art of hiding before you find success at stealthy movement. To begin learning Stealth, you must have a Hiding skill of 60 or greater.

Training

• 0 - 30 - Train at NPC Thief Guildmaster

If you have low hiding and a large house a good trick is to walk around your house. Since you have 100% chance of hiding in your own house you do not have to wait to train stealth due to hiding failures.
