Stealth - Level 1,2,3 ?

What is the difference between level 1,2 & 3 of the Dagger skill: Stealth?

Is it necessary to upgrade it ?

Stealth reduces patk, pdef, mdef, accuracy, evasion while it is active. Higher levels reduce the penalty to pdef, mdef, evasion.

I think what he is asking is the benefit between Level 1, 2 and 3.

As a class that doesn't get that skill... I couldn't tell you.

I got stealth on my subclass. I couldn't really tell what the good it was, since it reduces everything. Wouldn't silent move be more practical? Yes, yes, I'm a noob :)

This sums it up, the lowest lvl makes you quite weak if you run into pvp while using Stealth to avoid mobs, but the higher lvls of Stealth reduce the penalty so at least you can take a couple more hits.

Stealth 1 P.Atk. -45%, P.Def. -45%, M.Def. -45%, Accuracy -12, Evasion -12
Stealth 2 P.Atk. -45%, P.Def. -30%, M.Def. -30%, Accuracy -12, Evasion -8
Stealth 3 P.Atk. -45%, P.Def. -15%, M.Def. -15%, Accuracy -12, Evasion -4

Not really, both have their uses. Silent move does not reduce your stats (except for run speed), but it constantly drains mp and you WILL run out of mp sooner or later. Stealth only costs a low amount of mp to activate, and it lasts long enough for you to regen that mp so you can keep the skill up forever. But you are more vulnerable to pvp while you use it (and you cannot just turn it off if you should need to).

Higher skill levels do not influence the effect on aggro mobs. My 59 TH with Stealth 1 can walk in e.g. MoS perfectly fine. It is 100% aggro protection even on lvl 1 (except of course for mobs which can see through stealth/silent move/dance of shadow).

This was not happening to Bloody queens outside Lair of Anthraras. Even with stealth they can identify you and then with the stats decrease you are in big trouble. It is awesome for finding your party at catas and doing some quests though.

P.S. I heard that stealth - silent move has no use in dino island also :(

I think it's just the T-Rexes that can detect you - but of course that's bad enough.

Yeah. A Treasure Hunter from my clan went there with silent move or stealth or whatever skill is that makes you look like a ghost. He didn't have any trouble and even took some screenshots of the place. He did stay away from the T-Rex though.

i love stealth!!! i have been every where on the map now becoz of that skill and im only 61 hahhaaa

Stealth is very usefull for delivering shots to your duo deep in a catacomb. It's also very useful for getting to many other places and reporting the unmentionables.

I also use it when "out of party" manoring to ensure that I don't get aggro.

Awesome, thank you for the answers. I guess I'll be using it more now that I know how useful it is.

I didn't see this pointed out yet:
>silent move makes you very slow, while stealth allows you to run at full speed.
