Being able to run through zones without getting aggro/detected is a basic eq skill. Any class can do it. And you do not need invis. You just need to be aware of what is near you, /con everything even if invised, and move careful. If you see a mob moving toward you, you need to be aware if you can back up, or move sideways to avoid aggro range.

Maybe for non-rogues, this 'hug the wall while you keep your toes and finger crossed' approach is good enough, but we're talking about a rogue here; there is a whole skill-set related to using the unique abilities of the class which needs to be learned.

Yes you can run along the edge of the zone, in fact many rogues will unstealth to cover open areas which they know are clear of danger, but there is something a little noobish about telling the player of a class with hide and sneak to use an unreliable spell instead of the reliable skills they picked up at level 1 and level 3. In fact, three of the rogue races (dark elf, wood elf and halfling) even get 50 points of hide as a freebie at level 1 and halflings get 50 points of hide too.

all he needs is a single cloudy potion to get inside chardok

All he will need is hide and sneak; I walked right in past every single mob in the Chardok area and straight across the zone line without a single Sarnak taking a blind bit of notice. None of them can see through Hide (See Hide is a rare skill compared to the more common See Invis) as I can confirm from having walked right in through the front door, so yes; any rogue will be able to do it.
