Yup. It takes a bit of time and practice to figure out how close you can get
to an enemy, from what directions, before you get the hang of it. Just
remember you're NOT going to be able to sneak all the way up to mobs
of your level or higher, but you will be able to sneak right up and tweak the
ears of mobs more than a couple levels lower (when approached from behind,
anyway).

Yup, go slowly, and watch for the "huh, what was that?!?" reaction that mobs
make, when they first start to detect your presence- they will stop in their
tracks and stare in your direction. If you back up and get out of their 'circle
of detection' range, then they won't attack you, and will continue about their
business. There is usually a few seconds worth of leeway you have at that
moment, to back out of range before they lock onto you for good.

Nope, the act of picking or mining or opening a chest, or whatever, will un-
stealth you. So you have to plan how you are going to do it- kill the nearest
mob(s) and clear the area, before getting the goods. It's always best to be
higher level than the mobs you're trying to infiltrate around, to make your-
self harder to detect, and your job a lot easier.
