Escaping skill allows you to break free of webs, nets, muck, and most other forms of entanglement you may encounter in your travels. It also allows you to FLEE dangerously overwhelming situations that would normally have meant your death.

For those with warrants out for their arrest, the Escaping skill can be quite beneficial for avoiding the ire of town guards. In a sense, it adds to the characters ability to remain unobtrusive. A character with 100+ escaping and a warrant for his or her arrest can relatively safely walk within a city with an approximate 95% chance of not being captured on a "guard pulse."

This system is not implemented in all cities however, such as Ratha.

Training

Upon further research, it appears that flee is not on a random timer between 1 and 5 minutes. After over 100 attempts, it appears that the flee timer is always equal to or greater than 300 seconds. Tested on beisswurms and cave bears with an Escaping skill of 25-35.

"Flee appears to have an experience gain timer of about 200 seconds. This was tested with ~20 escaping against a swarm of mobs in grendels/forest trolls. Being in melee with the maximum amount of critters (4) teaches best. The officials (as in players) state that the timer is variable, between 1 and 5 minutes. 200 is near the average of the two so spacing out your flees around that time would be your best bet." - Renian.
