Snooping is an essential skill for all pvp thieves and one particular pvm encounter, it allows for targeted, rather than random, stealing. With one exception it is an active, not passive skill. The skill is checked when you attempt to open a container belonging to someone other than yourself. The title attributed to the skill is ‘spy’. The exception is when stealing from Exodus Zealots in Exodus Dungeon. Although the zealots have no back pack, so active snooping is not possible, characters who do not have snooping skill are unable to obtain the special items possible to characters who do […]
As demonstrated by the Europa character, Xorartep Xorartep skidded to a halt and, glancing left and right, quietly hid in the shadows. Sliding from the back of her summoned mount she stealthily slipped through the starry portal before her into the room below. Hoping that her caress of the statue at home would bring her the luck it promised; she paused and carefully surveyed the scene. From the corner of her eye she glimpsed the dark purple robe of an Exodus Zealot and set off in pursuit of her prey. She crept, silently, behind the unwary creature and attempted to […]

Hiding is an essential skill for a thief or ninja as a preliminary to stealthing from, or through danger areas. The act of hiding will make you invisible to other players, but not unfindable. Shoving through someone who is hidden will give a message ‘You shove something invisible aside’. The player then has the option of casting the spell ‘reveal’ or using the skill ‘detect hidden’ if they have those abilities. You may take items from your own corpse while hiding and not be revealed, but looting other corpses, whether monsters or players, will reveal you. You can not hide […]
Healing in Detail Healing skill can be the basis of a role played, dedicated healer, but more usually it is the skill trained by warriors (see the page Melee Fighter).

At 80 points you begin to be able to resurrect player characters, though it […]
