It only effects true thieves&lt;br&gt;and not all subclasses in the thief guild (subclass thief only).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You probably know that your exploration of the mud is tracked&lt;br&gt;by an exploration system. You can see that with 'explored'&lt;br&gt;and 'explored here' commands. This will show you the amount&lt;br&gt;you have explored in the current area.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thieves now will receive a boost to their stealth based on&lt;br&gt;how much they have explored the area they are currently in.&lt;br&gt;This is because the thief is knowledgable of a zone and has&lt;br&gt;previously planned out where to hide, what shadows to crouch&lt;br&gt;in, and what alleyways to take advatnage of. If he's in a new&lt;br&gt;area, he doesn't have this experience yet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The bonus to stealth can be seen in 'skills' when looking at&lt;br&gt;the 'max' column. There is a maximum bonus you can receive&lt;br&gt;and the bonus is based on your percentage explored. So having&lt;br&gt;explored 50/50 of the rooms in an area will give you the full&lt;br&gt;bonus to stealth. If you explore only 30/100, then, well, you&lt;br&gt;get a bonus of 30% of the possible max stealth&lt;br&gt;buff. What's this max? I'll let you figure it out - it's pretty good&lt;br&gt;I think but you be the judge.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few caviots. Firstly, the exploration system takes a minute&lt;br&gt;to load once you login. Usually about 10 seconds. So if you&lt;br&gt;login, do 'skills' and look at your stealth max and then wait&lt;br&gt;10 seconds it will probably go up (assuming you log into a&lt;br&gt;zone you've explored before). There's really nothing we can do&lt;br&gt;about this - be happy you get anything! :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Secondly, we do not track exploration during wars. But that also&lt;br&gt;means that in a MUD war you do not you previously explored data.&lt;br&gt;Sorry, I know this kinda sux but it's not tracked during wars (or&lt;br&gt;even loaded) for a reason. As a consolation prize, all thieves&lt;br&gt;receive a constant bonus to their stealth during wars (shutdown&lt;br&gt;and twars). This bonus is half of what they would get on the MUD&lt;br&gt;if they had completely explored an area.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know it's not much, but it's something and makes sense thematically&lt;br&gt;to me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Njoy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
