To use this skill you must first be hidden, If you start walking while hidden you will automatically attempt to stealth if your skill is 25 or more.

Running while stealthing is possible, but only half the number of steps as you can […]

Stealing from town shops is not without dangers, those shop keepers do not want their goods purloined! If an NPC is nearby, and looking towards you, cultivate the patience to wait until they move away or turn their back. Failure to do so may result in your waiting for the crimnal flag to expire before the local healer will resurrect you.

The easiest way to remove these from the area is to either take them to where they wish to go, […]

The higher your Forensic Evaluation skill, the more chance you have of finding out who’s […]

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.
