{{important|25px}} '''Hiding skill''' was merged into [[Stealth skill]] as part of the [[DR 3.0]] conversion. The information here may still be valid as ways to train Stealth skill.


Hiding skill is a measure of how well you can find a hiding place without being noticed, and stay hidden. It is affected by your wounds, [[armor]] type, combat status, and [[Discipline]]. It is related to [[Stalking]] and is contested against [[Perception]].

==Training==
There are various methods to learning hiding. Initially, depending on the type of armor you chose it may be very difficult to learn hiding against creatures you hunt. Alternatives to hiding in combat include hiding with non-violent creatures in the room ([[shadowling]]s, [[horse]]s, etc) and hiding in the same room as an NPC such as the Journeyman outside the [[Ranger]]'s guild in [[The Crossing]].

When training hiding in combat you will find it easier to slip into hiding with creatures that are not facing you. Once a creature begins to engage you the difficulty in hiding will raise the closer the creature gets to you. For best training have four creatures at melee range with you.

While once true that only [[:Category:Survival Skillset|survival]] prime guilds had a reasonable chance at hiding at melee with a creature, this has now been opened to all guilds again. Non survival prime guilds no longer have an extra punishing hiding requirement to make this attempt.

There are various combat maneuvers that can be attempted which will also help in the training of hiding. These maneuvers include [[snipe]], [[ambush]] and [[poach]]. Each creature has a diminishing return on it which means that after a certain number of successful attempts at hiding you will begin to gain less experience.
