The snooping skill determines your chance of peeking into another players, npcs, or packhorses backpack. It can't be used directly, but snooping is checked whenever you try to open the backpack on someone elses paperdoll.
The chance of succesufully snooping a backpack depends only on your snooping skill. At 50.0 snooping you've a 50% chance, at 100.0 you will never fail to snoop a backpack.
It is only possible to snoop other players backpacks in felucca only. You have to be next to another player to snoop them.
You can snoop npcs in trammel but only outside of town.
You can snoop packhorses/llamas in trammel and felucca.
You can snoop players while you are hidden, however if you fail snooping you are revealed.
When failing to snoop the other player will receive a message
Skill Training
Snooping uses the target-based anti macro code, there is no difficulty check.
The fastest way to gain snooping is by buying a few hundred bags, pouches and backpacks, place them inside a bag and then record an UOA macro opening them all. UOA macros can be up to 200 lines long, with pauses you can fit 100 bags per macro. Depending on your connection you're going to need 500-1200 ms pauses between opening each bag.
I recommend dying each bag (with 100 bags inside) a different color, and naming the UOA macros accordingly.
Hand one bag to another player and run the UOA macro to snoop them. If you don't have the other players backpack open you won't see all the bags opening, but can still gain skill.
This must be done with anothe player, placing the bags on a packhorse does not work.
When you run one macro without any skill gain move to a different set of bags, until you've snooped all bags without gain.
If you run out of bags, you can either buy more bags or wait for the next powerhour to reset the anti-macroing code.
Tips & Tricks
- You can snoop a packhorse from almost 1/2 screen away, however it's not possible to snoop containers in a packhorses backpack.
