This article is about the effect Stealth. For the snow leopard skill of the same name, see Stealth (snow leopard skill).
Stealth is an effect which allows the user to be invisible to enemy players and avoid being spotted by enemy NPCs. A stealthed character will appear as a transparent outline to allies. In PvE, a foe will stop attacking if the target becomes stealthed. When thieves enter stealth, their first weapon skill changes to a special stealth skill.
Stealth is broken when the user attacks, however characters remain hidden while taking damage [1] or stealing. Stealth can be used in combat; it does not last indefinitely.
When Stealth is broken or ends, the user gains a Revealed effect which prevents him/her from re-entering Stealth for a few seconds, regardless of the skill used.
