[Zilgamesh]

Hi all
I would like to ask about stealth

what is the best way to raise this skill? from 0-100

also do i need to lock hiding at 80 or should i gm it? Just a couple
questions :D

are there any benefits in stealthing from having higher hiding?

thanks all!!

I don't know if they have fixed it, but there used to be a bug that froze
your advancement at 12.7 skill level. Because of that, always buy stealth to
get past that level.

Once you are above 12.7, standing naked in your house is the best way to
start advancing the skill. If you don't have a house, standing on steps
seems to work just about as good. I also have had good luck in inns, I kind
of believe any fast logout area seems to be good.

No, two stage check, like musicianship/provoke. You have to hide, wait ~12
seconds for skill delay, stealth. If the stealth does not reveal you, you
can 12 secs/stealth, 12 secs/stealth, 12 secs/stealth, ... If you are
revealed, it becomes hide, 12 secs/stealth<revealed>, 12 secs/hide, 12
secs/stealth, ...

The better your hiding the faster and more reliable your stealth will rise.
