////////// Ash Legion Spy Kit \\\\\\\\\\
Camouflage(10s): Become invisible, as long as you remain in place. 60 second cool down.
Cost: 28 Karma ea
Pros: Spamable, perma invisibility as long as you have enough kits, great for rezing people in the midst of enemies – does not grant you immunity, if adds are laying down AoE at your position you will take damage. Have people who are not stealthed stay away from you while you rez nerfed 26 Feb 2013. 60 sec cool down
Cons: Loss of stealth upon movement or attack (except for Molachev Cocktail – see below). After prolonged periods of broken agro (being stealthed) bosses will regen.

////////// Order of Whispers Spy Kit \\\\\\\\\\
Camouflage(3s): Become invisible.
Cost: 16 copper ea
Pros: Spamable, perma invisibility as long as you have enough kits. Because you can move with this, coupling its use with Ash Legion Spy Kits allows you to remain stealthed as you move from person to person effecting rezs or standing on switches in dungeons etc. Very cheap! nerfed 26 Feb 2013. 60 sec cool down
Cons: Only lasts 3 seconds. Loss of stealth upon movement or attack. You are not immune to AoE attack.
You can obtain these from Agent Rexx, he stands next to Warden Spy Alarin, the Renown heart NPC north of Morgans Spiral in Caledon Forest. If he is not there (stealthed), you must lead him there. He will be found dead on the southern side of Morgan’s Spiral. If you do not see him, wait a bit his spawn is random.

////////// Fire Elemental Powder \\\\\\\\\\
Summons an Ember to fight by your side for 5 minutes.
Cost: 1 silver 4 copper
Pros: Ember can remove agro from you and lays down multiple AoE attacks. Produces a lot od damage.
Cons: Kinda squishy. Spendy. Spamable under certain conditions. Can over agro stuff if you just want to sneak about, your wait can be up to 5 mins for it to die (your party loves waiting they will not mind). KNOWN GLITCH – when used in conjunction with Ogre Pet Whistles (see below) you must spawn the ember FIRST if you want 2 pets up. If you spawn the Ogre Pet first, you will consume the item but get no ember.
These can be obtained from Jhalles Coalgrip on the beach just southest of the Assist Engineer Verutum renown heart in Fireheart Rise. If he is not there (99% of the time) he is in the water to the east or on the shore to the NE on a quest. Help him finish it and he will return to sell to you.

////////// Ogre Pet Whistle \\\\\\\\\\
Double-click to call an ogre pet to aid you for 5 minutes.
Cost: 1 silver 4 copper
Pros: You get a random pet to take agro with you. You have a 30 second window to revive it if it dies unlike the ember.
Cons: Over agro etc etc (see Ember Cons). Spendy. Must be spawned 2nd if you want 2 pets up at same time.
You can obtain these from Gortho, Son of Malik, on the other side of the bridge from Gladefall Waypoint. If he is not there you need to head to Grostogg’s Kraal Waypoint to start the chain to get him there. This quest glitches quite often so my advice is to get all your people there to grab them after server resets.
