I'm a bounty hunter, and i plan on mastering it. But i have 33 skill points left over once i master it. I would like to go up to player track on Ranger, and then go up the first three boxes of Wayfaring.What can you do with conceal, and is it worth it?

It does, and better then /maskScent (critters literally do not see you, they can see you with just /maskScent). However, there have been some changes in the works from the description you see about it in game. This is from the dev responses:







3. Conceal and Humanoid NPCs


The developers have deemed our profession to be the Ultimate Creature Hunters.


But with that, hard choices must be made to follow the path of that vision...



  • One of those choices was that /conceal command was never intended to work against humanoid NPCs, and when it did work was the true error.




So basically they plan on religating it to a super/maskScent that costs aprox. 8 resources per use (give or take 4 for experimentation and materials quality). Mho is that it is no longer worth it if this goes this way, but you might not have the same opinion. Lok and Dath will be just as dangerous for a Ranger as anyone else. Maybe more so, as the skill points can't be used for combat.

Thanks for the info,


After I master BH,I would only have 33 skill points left and I was wondering if I should use them on CH or Ranger.


I was thinking about getting Player Track and the first 3 boxes of conceal.


What would the first three boxes of conceal get me?

OH, and I should mention: You can use a camo kit another made, so a Master can make you one for Dath and as long as you have it in the inventory, using /conceal on Dath will work.

I think it depends on if the nerf goes in or not. If it's still going to work on NPCs then I think its a good use of your skill points. Box 3 will give you most of it and you can buy the last camo kits you cant make from other rangers. If the nerf goes in and it doesnt work against NPCs I wouldnt waste your skill points on the line as likely your mask scent will work just as well and the kits will just be for applying to other people.
