I have 69 stealth, I can move only 6 steps and then stealth is gone. According to http://uo.stratics.com/content/skills/stealth.shtml , I should be able to move 12 steps. Can anyone explain me the mechanics?
Outside sources have to be considered with care. They often describe other era's. You can walk up to 10 steps when stealthed here (every 10 skill points give you 1 tile more). No auto-restealth, you have activate it yourself. No running possible. You are not allowed to wear much armor for re-stealthing.
I'm not too happy with the stealth here. It often fails (I'm gm). So here I am trying to sneak up on a pretty egg just lying there in the grass when, before steps are out, I find myself in full view of a very cranky Fluffy. Nothing to do but to turn and RUN, since it takes forever to rehide.. Is stealth this unreliable or am I missing something? Don't wear any armor, just a pretty dress.
It never fails with GM and without armor. Something is done wrong, but I dont know what you are doing.
Make sure your armor is leather, not studded, You can not successfully stealth in anything more than leather armor. You get 10 steps, I have always disliked the 10 step, re-stealth, but there is nothing wrong with stealth here other than that.
yep.. found some studded nickers underneath it all. No worries Joe, I was very discrete, checked myself behind the trashcan by Glow bank... nobody saw me.. They are removed and I can now sneak about without revealing myself! =) (and its soooo much more comfortable now!)
Im pretty sure its 100% with no armor at 80 skill too. You only get 8 steps, and cant wear ANY armor, but it never fails. ::Also, you can take any armor you want and setup a dress/undress macro with razor. ...and depending on what youre doing, stealthing then waiting 5-6 seconds before you walk will allow you to walk 10 steps then almost immediately stealth again and take another 10 steps.
