Ability Breakdown & Details

The Conceal ability lasts for 25 minutes and works much in the same way as mask scent and shares a 60 reuse timer before it can be reapplied after being broken. 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. 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.


Conceal requires a camouflage kit to made in order to apply it to yourself and 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 Camo, you have to a different kit made for each planet you visit.There is no radial menu option for using a camo kit. Instead use the /conceal command, and it will choose the proper kit to use based on the current planet. Using the /conceal ability again removes the conceal effect on the ranger. One additional thing to the above posts is that camo will not stack on top of mask scent.

Note: rangers wanted the ability for conceal to automatically be removed from other players when they left the planet due to the issue of players not being able to use mask scent again when on other worlds while still being under the effect of a concealment that did not work on the planet they were now on and therefor providing absolutely no use to them.
