Hiding

The Hiding skill allows players to become invisible indefinitely, provided they meet specific conditions. It is a key skill for stealth-based gameplay and is required for movement while hidden using the Stealth skill.

• Players must be out of sight and a good distance away from creatures or players to hide successfully.
• Turning a corner and immediately using Hiding is an effective method.
• Hiding skill cannot be raised inside a house where the player is at least friended, as Hiding always succeeds there.
• The chance to hide successfully is equal to the skill level. For example, 50 skill = 50% success chance
• Players who are Friended to a house receive an effective bonus of 100 Hiding skill for attempts inside that house.
• Players within 1 tile of a house but not inside receive an effective bonus of 50 Hiding skill.
• Required for the Stealth skill, enabling movement while hidden.
• Can be paired with Stealth to perform Backstab attacks on creatures.
