Hiding & Stealth delay

[852Foofer]

Hi!
I just came back to UO after so many years and decided to run some kind of stealther.
However, macroing it I noticed that between Hiding and Stealthing you have to wait 10 seconds.
Is that always the case? I mean anyone can reveal you in 10 seconds right?

 

[Deebo]

You could be revealed anyway. Don't be greedy.

 

[Red Knight]

Don't use the stealth skill actively, just try walking and you'll automatically stealth without any time delay.

 

[Malrex]

Aye, take autorun off on your stealthier.
