How it works

The Locator Veil hides you from the locator bar. Wake the pad once, and it stands. The Locator Veil stands — step onto the pad to leave the locator bar.

Then step onto the pad, and other players no longer see you on their locator bar. The Locator Veil takes you — the locator bar forgets. Step onto it again to return to the bar. The veil releases you.

Good to know

• The veil follows you after you leave the pad, until you step on again, Dispel strips it, or a Bar Beacon takes you.
• The tab list still shows your name.
• Breaking the pad stills it. The Locator Veil breaks — the pad stills.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/locatorveil.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Locator Veil has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
