How the mechanic works
- Each level adds 15 percentage points of normal walking speed to sneaking movement.
- At level III, sneaking reaches 75% of normal walking speed instead of the usual 30%.
- Swift Sneak applies to leggings and is found in ancient-city loot rather than at an enchanting table.
Affected blocks and drops
- Leggings
- Horizontal movement while sneaking
- Does not remove the safety of edge-protected sneaking
