Mask Scent...how does it work exactly?
"The bad thing about NPCs is that it doesn't actually break the camo and so you don't get any warning messages."
Aye. Your concealment should always break before a NPC begins combat...
- There are many problems with the A.I. overlooking /maskscent and /conceal and attacking you without checking.
Prior to the last patch however, I never had a creature attack me through my concealment...
- But lately this problem has started occurring more frequently, quite annoying indeed.

Well that was annoying. Sorry about the double post of nonsense. Anyway....
I am trying to figure out how to maximize my results with Mask Scent. I am a Master Ranger and have +100 in Mask Scent. However, when riding aorund on mount across planets, I am finding that my Mask Scent breaks a ton. I am always having to stop and put it back on. I didn't think it would break this much being at the Master level.
I got Master back before they added tracking and all that stuff, but stopped playing shortly after, so I am kind of relearning my profession. I remember back then that there were going to be certain actions that helped kleep your mask scent from breaking. Maybe things like walking and/or crawling? Anyway, can someone summarize how to best keep Mask Scent from breaking.
Also, I guess there are tailored clothes that canhelp raise Mask Scent. What is the max bonus I can get from these clothes?
Do other Master Rangers out there find Mask Scent breaks often for them?
Thanks in advance.

Don't use mask scent unless you have to. Use your camo ability.
Unless I'm mistaken, your mask scent ability is no better then it
was when you were a master scout.
