I've seen debates on these boards regarding the value of /conceal vs. the cost of making the kits but I haven't seen any data or clear opinions on whether or not they even work and how they compare to /maskscent or even whether or not they work as the designers envisioned. Can anyone give us an idea of how effective or usefull these things are vs. our /maskscent ability?

thanks

It works as well (or not so well) as maskscent, and it costs alot in resources, especially for the advanced planet camo kits. The only thing it does is give you a chance, that maskscent does not, to be hidden from aggressive NPC's. I use it occasionally when running faction destroy missions because, like maskscent with creatures, it gives you an extra shot before you are detected. Of course I dont bother applying it until I am very close to my target.

When I use them, and I'm at level 1 Wayfaring, it is not as effective against the same types of creatures that my mask scent is. Meaning it breaks more often against them then my mask scent does. It does seem to work pretty good against NPC, as long as I don't run past them. If on the small chance it doesn't break, it wears off in 5 minutes.
