Ability Breakdown & Details

The Conceal ability allows a player to camouflage themselves for a period of 25 minutes and works much in the same way as Mask Scent. There are several key differences between mask scent and Conceal. Conceal allows the player to hide from both NPCS and Creatures where as mask scent only hides the player from creatures. Conceal also has a slightly higher success rate of defending the player against detection from aggro checks. The difference is presumably a 3% bonus over mask scent. Conceal at most, has a 98% effectiveness for the player, as opposed to masks cent's 95%. Finally, conceal allows the ranger to place the effect on other players. PLayers do not need to be grouped in order to apply camouflage to other players.

Conceal requires a camouflage kit to be made in order for a player to apply it to themself or onto others. Camo kits are specific to each planet and its creature resources, and all require a certain type of meat, hide, and bone (i.e. carnivore meat, animal bone, leather hide). With conceal, players have to a different kit made for each planet they visit. There is no radial menu option for using a camo kit. Instead players must use the /conceal command, and it will choose the proper kit to use based on the current planet automatically from the inventory if a kit is available. Using the /conceal ability again without having a target removes the conceal effect on the ranger. While concealed, a player will only be concealed against creatures and npcs on the planet that they are on. If they travel to a new planet, their concealment from the previous world will not carry over. The player would have to remove camouflage by using the /conceal command if they wish to conceal again for the current planet. One additional thing to the above posts is that camo will not stack on top of mask scent or overwrite mask scent.

Conceal does not overwrite or stack with mask scent. A player cannot have both conceal and mask scent on them.

Experience

Players gain Scouting experience when they or a player whom they have concealed, successfully checks against enemies. Presumably the ranger obtains scouting experience from another player only once per creature that initiates a detection check, even if multiple players have been concealed and performed a check against the same creature. Players who are within normal group range (200 meters) and who perform successful checks against the creature, will grant the ranger experience. Concealment checks grant experience at a rate of ( 2 x challenge level ) of the creature performing the detection check.
