Hiding is an essential skill for a thief or ninja as a preliminary to stealthing from, or through danger areas. The act of hiding will make you invisible to other players, but not unfindable.

The player then has the option of casting the spell ‘reveal’ or using the skill ‘detect hidden’ if they have those abilities. You may take items from your own corpse while hiding and not be revealed, but looting other corpses, whether monsters or players, will reveal you. You can not hide […]

Your chances of finding a hidden player depend on the relationship between your Detect Hidden skill and their Hiding skill. You can expect to be totally unable to find a grandmaster […]

By: EM Malachi Several Hundred Years Ago… As Mondain’s gaunt fingers closed the clasp, the dark gem in the necklace felt cold against Minax’s throat.
