Ok, I still think some of the math is off when your mask scent ability is calculated and it gets broken. I used to only have a +15 shirt (mask scent/camo). With this and Jawa Beer I didn't get caught very often at all when crawling endor or Dathomir. I decided to raise it a lot and i got a pair of +15 pants to go with it. Mask scent was certainly, noticably worse as everything seemed to break it. Jawa beer at +13 seemed to mask me well wearing both clothing pieces. Now, I have +14 Jawa beer and the same clothes. I'm standing near a LOT of reds, forgot to drink more Jawa beer and when I drank it, everything immediately broke through the mask scent. I got about 5-7 messages that said I'd been detected.

So to me it looked like my protection was higher before I drank the Jawa Beer, and once consumed, my mask scent ability sank dramatically. I'm testing it more and more and finding that these enhancements have an adverse affect when immediately used, but return to their normal stats.

Anyone else have any advice? Are there more clothing items I can wear?

I can say conclusively that having +15 clothing helps a lot, and that +25 works better than +15. The effect of jawa beer I'm less certain about since, like I said, I only drink it when I go after things that are almost certain to break my mask scent anyway, lol.

I've heard some wierd theories on maskscent breakage. I think it seems to be working as intended as long as I get dressed before I catch the shuttle...

I've found - like others - that changing clothes for sampling gives me strange maskscent results.

I always wear +15 pants and +15 shirt. I figure if something is aggroing on me, I'm running and my boots had better give my legs enough protection while I jump on the bike and hightail it outta there

Now - if I could only work out why I can sample Rancor and get away with it, but Kreetles see me coming from 35m away...

yea, kreetles and rasps, lol, oh lord. And I'm also continually annoyed by how often huurton pups aggro me. I mean come on, I can sample merek harvesters all day long but sample a stupid huurton pup and they seem to aggro me every second or third attempt

Something screwy about those real low level critters.
