DAoC Albion Scout Guide

CamelotVault is fortunate to have a devoted Dark Age of Camelot fan (and previous beta tester) working on guides for the site, as he just came up with another one in which any person considering raising a Albionic Scout (or stealthy class from another realm) should look at. It’s their DAoC Albion Scout Guide. From infancy to adulthood, it’s all there:

Stealth

In the home realms, stealth is mostly useful for keeping creatures from noticing you as you heal up after fights. It does have some usefulness for getting closer to mobs without attracting their attention while attempting to line up a shot, but this seems to be of very limited use against creatures. Against the raiders from the other realms, this skill be most likely be highly useful.

It is possible to draw and fire an arrow while hidden, but firing alerts all in the area to your presence, and the creature you shot at will know where you are and most likely will point you out to any friends. Note that your movement speed is very low while being stealthy, so if you need to run, just drop out of stealth mode and go for it. It is also impossible to fight stealthily, so make sure that other creatures aren’t close enough to come running when they see you attacking one of their own.
