Good idea, I think I'll give that a try.

pretty sure I did it fine at 16

I took a couple of days to get my mask, in and out due to a small queue of rogues and bards needing their mask and a general lack of players going after the assassin, but never met anything which could see through my hide skill other than the assassin. As long as you take the shortest route from Upper Guk to the Ass/Sup room, you should be fine.

Speaking of sneaking; taking a rogue naked into Chardok is a fun adventure. The current version of hide/sneak (not sure whether that is pre- or post-fix) is so effective that it feels like cheating. There are a fair few mobs marked as 'see hide' in the wiki, but nowhere near as many as can see invisible and half of those mobs cannot actually see through hide. Generally, unless it can backstab or use stealth, it's almost certainly not going to see a hidden rogue.

Dogs in Chardok should be seeing rogues, and maybe royals/their guards.

Sneaked in last night, with the plan of scouting it out. Ran into a druid who was camping assassin/supplier, and let hang out. BS'd with him while waiting for pops. I think I stuck around for 7-8 spawns before I had to crash, but never saw the assassin. Is he pretty rare?

no that's unlucky

Good to know. Supplier spawned twice during that same time span. The druid let me loot one of the bags, so I can't complain. I'll have to try again another time. Rogue is still parked there. If anyone is planning on doing the camp and doesn't need/want the mask, and want's someone to BS with, gimme a hollar. I'd be more than happy to hang out!

When I got my mask, there was a 6-hour period where the assassin just didn't spawn for the group camping there. The respawn is about half an hour, so that is 12 consecutive spawns, but people were saying how odd that was.

Hey, I never said anything about sneaking back out again...

I fell in the trap while sneak/hid and the King/guards did not aggro me. I can't say the same about the Queen but my assumption is the same.
I think the dogs are the only thing you have to worry about in that zone.
Although I did hand a Sarnak my lock picks on accident while trying to open the door so that killed me pretty good [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I used to sneak/hide to ass/sup all the time as early as lvl 30 and never got aggro once so I don't know about that gargoyle that sees invis. And yes, you can do this as early as level 3 when you get hide. Just be sure to get a successful sneak/hide message. Also, if you strafe sideways while sneaking it's a LOT faster than moving forward.
Oh and one last thing, I think there is a safe spot pretty close to ass/sup. May be better to camp out there instead of going all the way to the zone line. Ask around to see where it is; I don't remember exactly where it is.

They fixed sneak/hide a few months ago so it works much better now. I'm only ever careful in solb and a very few select other zones.

Thanks to some nice BDA ppl I got my mask at level 7 today
