Notes[]
The Smoke Flares are cheap recipes for increasing engineering skill from 335, however, the White Smoke Flare is the cheapest, lacking a dye, and the White Smoke Flare schematic is the most readily available.
Unlike the Hunter [Flare] ability, Smoke Flares do not influence [Stealth] detection.
