Stealth, its awareness and stealth level

Hello.

I've been trying to figure out exactly the science behind the stealth ability. I know that mobs that are below you in level cannot see you while ones that are higher can (as a default with not stealth lvl'ed). Exactly what does raising your lvl of stealth do? Also, how does this apply to players in PvP? I've been looking for an answer and am at a loss. Has anyone figured this out yet?

Thanks for listening. ^^

    Your level + Stealth skill level + added cat-like tread stealth level - awareness level of your enemy = the the level someone has to be (or higher) to see you

    Say you are level 70 with a Shadow Walk of level 5, cat-like tread skill level of 2, and your enemy has an awareness level of 0 that is:

    70+5+4-0=79 your enemy would have to be level 79 or higher to see you.

    Keep in mind that each of your stealth skills have their own stealth level so using the above numbers, if your Shadow Escape is level 2 then the enemy would now only have to be level 76 or higher to see you.

    I have tested this formula with both mobs and players many times, and every time it holds true. If you don't believe me, like most people seem not to for some reason, then go test it for yourself.

    catlike thread raises stealth lvl. each lvl of catlike thread increases ur stealth lvl by 2. that means that if ur cat like thread is lvl 2 then an opponent that is up to 4 lvls higher then u cannot see u. but if there higher then 4 lvls then they can see u. when maxed cat like thread increases stealth lvl by 20. so that means once ur lvl 85 only ppl that are 105 can see u. and since there is no lvl 105s in this game yet no one can see u once u reach lvl 85 which maxed cat like thread b:pleased


    sharp observer does basically the same thing, only the opposite. in increases ur awareness lvl by 2 each time u lvl up sharp observer. so basically it cancels out another sins cat like thread. so if u have maxed sharp observer u can see other sins in stealth even if they have a maxed out cat like thread.

    You can't.

    Soulforce is only for Psychics. Stealth Level is only for Assassins.

    Defense Levels come from various high level equipments and some high level shards.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    Did it stealth so the mods couldn't find it?
