That is interesting information. Has anyone else noticed the same effect?
I've posted several times that I could manually turn off conceal. This was shortly after the skill was put in place, though,and I haven't checked since then to see whether that was changed. This was not in the sense of how/when one would normally turn off conceal so let me (somewhat) briefly restate what happened.
I was on Tatooine which at the time was the only planet I had camo kits for (ironic I know). I was concealed but then decided to go to Endor so I went to Endor. The nose icon disappeared as it always does for maskscent and I put on maskscent immediately upon arrival. It worked so I didn't think anything of it.
I started to run to my typical hunting spot, ignoring the mereks dead ahead as I expected them to ignore me. They spotted me and had me for breakfast. OK that happens. I go back out and sure enough they spot me again and this time have me for lunch. After they had me for dinner I figured something was up with maskscent as they keptignoring it.
I then realized that I never turned off conceal when I was on Tatooine so I typed "/conceal" and sure enough I got the message "You are no longer concealed" (or something like that) as opposed to the "you do not have a conceal kit in your inventory" message I anticipated (or whatever). I turn on maskscent and this time I am happily ignored by the engorged mereks and continue on my merry way.
>Issue with receiving a "Inventory Full" message when your inventory still has space available
From my understanding...the "Inventory Full" message comes when you forage a *rare* item. So, right now, rare items are not foragable. Because of multiple item forages, I can get the "Inventory Full" message, and still have something new, and common, in my inventory. It's just that whatever rare item I foraged was discarded...because, really, I have not found anything to date that I could classify as "rare" because I forage things like them all the time.

Something like 1 2 3 4 (whatever colors they are) would help me out a great deal.
That color 1 is very dark against the default background on these boards and would be hard to read. What about this one instead?
Ideally, the bow would not be something you actually kill anything with. I think it is more of a first-strike, status effecting weapon. Something that could add to or replace thrown traps for Rangers.
With that in mind, I would imagine thatwe would get trapping experiance for using the bow.
"I then realized that I never turned off conceal when I was on Tatooine so I typed "/conceal" and sure enough I got the message "You are no longer concealed""
Excellent... I will consider the issue closed then, and remove it from the list.

Of course...
Please provide the colors that would work best, and I will adjust the my color scheme accordingly
Thanks - I appreciate that.

The color for "1" doesn't stand out too well against the forum background color for me...
Here are some choices that are readable on forum's background:
yellow, red, cyan, green, white, magenta, orange, purple, grey, pink
If that doesn't work out, I could go with a bold or underline to segregate the types, or a combination of both.

"Well my vote is for non-color effects but for colors how about yellow, red, magenta and grey? Thanks!"
Thine will be done.
I will make the changes tonight and repost the State of the Profession using the new format.
