ok so i have a Inlf at lvl 39 he has 35 stealth + 10. Does this mean he has 45 stealth or because he is 39 its only 39?

Correct it's only 39, it doesn't cap past your current level.

Same with envenom, you can spec 39+10 but it doesn't give you access to lvl 49 poisons


Speccing 29 stealth will be enough

I thought that it had to do a bit with the MOB and/or enemy player level as well as the level of the infiltrator.


Example: A level 50 infiltrator with 45 stealth and +10 to stealth would be a level 50 stealth when up against a level 50 player and when the infi was up against a level 40 player they would be 45 stealth but when the infi was up against a level 55+++ mob the infiltrator would have an effective 55 stealth.


So, a level 39 infiltrator with 35 stealth + 10 to stealth would have 39 stealth when up against other level 39 players but if the level 39 infi went to the frontiers, up against a level 50 player the level 39 infi would have an effective stealth of 45.

I was always under the impression it caps at your level but I have no evidence to support that.

Either way, no reason he would/should be roaming NF at 39.

I would just stick with keeping to composite of your level

I agree.


The example was just to show how the system worked. The only time I recall players using the extra stealth past 50 was to sneak past the guards in the old relic keeps (and perhaps to sneak past high level mobs in DF).


(Edit: but then my memory could be failing and I could be totally wrong about it.)
