Hiding

Summary

• Allows the player to become invisible indefinitely

• You must be a good distance away/out of sight from any mob (creature or player) for this to succeed. However, one thing you can do is turn around a corner and immediately hide since you are out of sight.

• You can not raise this skill (or detect hidden) while in a house you are at least friended to, as it will always work there

• Chance to hide is equivalent to the skill level (50 skill = 50%, etc)

• Players who are Friended to a house receive an effective bonus of 100 Hiding skill for making Hiding attempts inside that house (non-Friends no longer receive any bonuses, will not gain skill)

• All players who are within 1 tile of a house, but not actually inside in that house, will receive an effective bonus of 50 Hiding Skill for making Hiding attempts

• Required by the Stealth skill to make movements while hidden

• • Can be paired with the Stealth skill to make Backstab attacks against creatures

• Players who are revealed via Detecting Hidden or the Reveal Spell cannot become Hidden or Invisible by any means for 5 seconds
  • Players who are revealed also cannot Eject from a house for 5 seconds

• Hidden players that are Revealed due to a creature ability will be prevented from any form of Hiding/Invisibility for the next 10 seconds
  • some higher level creatures may have longer durations

Training

• Note: Players cannot train hiding in places where they have effective hiding bonuses, i.e. friendly houses/inn rooms.
