Rogue Sneak Speed Ever Increase?
 

I love my newbie rogue, but sneak is painfully slow. Does it get any faster with levels at all?

You get a speed increase from levels 55-60. I can't remember if its all at once when you ding 55 or it gradually increases. Its a long way off though. Your best bet is to invest into some SoW potions. Jboots are more convenient if your bank account can afford it.

You can move at full strafe speed while sneaking though, so be sure to take advantage of that. Its also useful to get used to strafe running while sneaking because it makes a pretty significant difference in getting around.

Every level 51+ you get an increase. Level 56 you break into a jog. At 60 it's slightly slower than full run speed.
Lowbie rogue sneak is horrible though. SoW pots / Jboots are your friends. GL.

Sneak diagonally.

60 sneak + strafing = more or less like a normal run speed.

Thanks, everyone! Finally got backstab, and I absolutely love playing this guy. Me and my SBD will learn to live with the slooooow sneaking and the complete inability to solo.

Also, thanks for the strafing tip.

level 60 sneak is still unbelievably slow, sky mask is great if u just need plain invis or if u can train around without bothering.
