Nosey Neighbors.

So I was sailing around going to explore some of the outer supergrids and noticed a town I'd never seen before. So I stopped and looked around. Then I remembered that looking in baskets even if you don't take anything leaves a theft scent? How long does that take to decay? I believe that's true, so needless to say I'm not going to be looking in anymore baskets In general though, are most people okay with you walking around their village? (assuming there's no wall)

Unless you have the Trespass skill, you shouldn't be able to look into containers on claimed land, village or otherwise. If you are, then that means the village/claim is long gone. So in other words, you won't leave a scent.

[Gaiadin]

You cannot leave a scent if you do not have "Criminal Acts" enabled. If you are able to look in a container without it then the container is unclaimed.

You can walk onto village claim without trespassing so most villages won't even know you've been exploring if you don't go snooping. I would guess that anyone who catches you poking through their things is going to become defensive. It isn't recommended.

Well I do have the trespassing skill.... since I can walk through villages that I'm not affiliated with. Anyone know how long the scent will stay? Basically I'm hoping it dissipates before anyone notices it. since nothing's missing no one would notice otherwise.

[sabinati]

anyone can walk (and only walk) on village land, without turning criminal acts on or leaving a scent.

[Cain]

But looking in baskets most definitely does leave a scent

[sabinati]

yeah, if it is in fact on a claim
