Sneak Skill ID

Sneak is one of Valheim's character skills, tracked under the internal ID Sneak. Determines stamina drain and visibility from mobs while sneaking.

Experience is gained at 0.05 per second while sneaking (+0.45 when undetected within the view range of a creature).

At max level (100) it grants -60% initial sneak visibility, -20% light based visibility, -75% stamina usage.

Adjust your level from the console with raiseskill Sneak 10 to add 10 points, or resetskill Sneak to wipe it back to 0.

Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the -60% initial sneak visibility, -20% light based visibility, -75% stamina usage above is the full value you reach at level 100. Sneak earns experience at 0.05 per second while sneaking (+0.45 when undetected within the view range of a creature), so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.

Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Sneak included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill Sneak 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill Sneak wipes the skill back to 0.
