Anarchy Online

Leveling up a lowbie F2P Fixer on the clan side (Old Athen & West Athen). I can outrun most mobs on Repair or Return missions with the various speed buffs. Is there ever a time when your Concealment/Sneak are sufficient to slowly move through a mission, or is that a wasted skill line?

Curious if anyone has counter-meta builds out there, like preferring using some Dark Blue skills?

I have a free account, my account with my old characters requires payment, so newer characters it is. I miss some of the old starting zones - I liked the one with the tower in the middle the best. Was that the one that came out when they introduced the Keepers and Shades.
