Quick questions about Ninja abilities

[Demon_of_Elru]

My main job is Sam, never really read about Ninja that much so I'm a little confused about stuff.

I want to be able to use sneak and invis, but being Elvaan I didn't want to go through all the hassle of leveling any mage job. However, I knew Ninja had the ability to use Invis (in some sort of way) and I asked a LS member if they had an ability similar to sneak. He told me something about Stealth, but I tried looking it up and cant really find anything about it.

My questions are:

Is there an ability similar to sneak for Ninja. If so, what level can I obtain it.

Do these Ninjitsu spells have the exact same effect as Invisible and Sneak? Or are they weaker? Is the cast time shorter/quicker?

Can these spells/abilities be used if Ninja is subbed? Or does it have to be your main job?

Also, I understand that you use powder for these spells. What is the powder name needed for invis and sneak, and can these powders stack upto 99?

Any help would be great

Stealth on a Ninja is not a Spell or Ability, its a Job Trait.

I dont know exactly how it works, its pretty random, sometimes I can right by a monster that would normally aggro me and it wouldnt, but alot of the times it still does ^^
So its not worth relying on, but it can kick in once in awhile and save your life.

I dont believe Ninjas have any form of Sneak Spells/Abilities, I just use Silent Oils though, usually carry a stack with me.
If you want both Sneak/Invis, lvl Whm or Rdm(They have them right?) both shouldnt be too hard.

I have never heard of a noisy ninja..
Unfortunatly any nin not using the pots are...
Stealth is the wide range radar sorta like rng alert or precaution (i forgot) however i did auto run infront the visual aggro distance of bloodtear as a level 40 or lower ninja and didnt get aggro so im guessing it has two properties. Stealth is there to show you whats on map so you dont end up running into aggro and drop your aggro range as i have noticed throughout my nin career.

I see. So there are no abilities like sneak to cast or anything, its just a random thing. So it looks like I'll be using Silent Oils for sneak effect.

"Tonko: Ichi" is invis right? Does this work the same way as using normal invis? Like it will have a random duration before it wears off, or does it last a fixed amount of time?

Thanks for your answers

tonko:2 > invisable spell
all invis and seank are random
for whatever case, all melee should carry one stack of oil and powder.

And mages ^^

Elementals or magic agro monsters are a pain for recasting.

I find that tonko: ichi lasts about 3mins and tonko: ni lasts about 6 so when ichi is fading then kick in ni or just use ni to overlap itself since ni seems to just overwrite itself as well as ichi.

Stealth, lv. 5 job trait : Aggressive monsters are less likely to aggro you.

Tonko is the same as Invis, but isn't technically magic, therefore won't aggro magic aggroing mobs.
