7 things you need to know about Aion Stealth

Stealth classes are common in many MMORPGs, but there are some limitations on the Aion Assassin class. Without a full understanding of stealth in Aion, you might be surprised when an opponent actually sees you stealthed, or you may come out of stealth unexpectedly. Here are some tips I’ve collected on stealth, which should provide a good starting point for learning stealth capabilities in Aion.

1. Charge yourself with Seeds of Destruction. This will allow you to see low level assassins (below 34) and all rangers who only have Hide 1. To see advanced stealth you will need the All Seeing Eye ability. Desruciton Seeds are mined from Zigi, but they are also cheap enough at the Broker.

2. As an assassin, there are no special attack skills to use stealthily. Instead, he must make sure to learn his positional skills well, so that he can sneak up on his opponent from the right angle.

3. Learn the limitations of the stealth abilities, Hide 1 and Hide 2. Neither of these can be used in combat, and Hide 1 can be seen by any class if it has Seeds of Destruction.

4. If you want infinite stealth, you should save up and get the Shadow Walk I stigma ability, which is a rare drop. But it has a 3 minute cooldown and lasts for 5 minutes, so it’s effectively infinite stealth. It also uses advanced stealth mode.

5. If you want a skill that allows you to use stealth in combat, there isn’t one that is really useful for pvp. Wind Walk I allows you to go into advanced stealth for 10-20 seconds, but it requires 3000 divine points, which is more or less impossible in most pvp scenarios. It’s worth it for emergency farming situations in pve though.

6. Do you want to move faster stealthily? Get the following:

• boots with speed bonus
• speed bonus titles
• running ability
• scroll running

With these you will be able to move faster in stealth than other players out of stealth.

7. Even when stealthed, try to stay close to the camouflage around you, as you never know when you’ll come out of stealth. Players may not immediately notice you if you’re near a bush or tree, so you may have enough time to cloak again before they do.
