	~~{{DISPLAYTITLE:Hiding}}~~		* [[Hiding]]
	'''Hiding''' is the skill that lets you conceal yourself from enemies and other players. On Banes World, Hiding has been reworked so that training the skill above the standard cap of 100 — using Power Scrolls — grants a real, scaling chance to hide '''even while in combat'''.

	~~== Overview ==~~
	~~When you use the Hiding skill you attempt to slip out of sight. Whether you succeed depends on your current situation:~~

	* '''Out of combat''' — a normal skill check decides success, just like classic Ultima Online.
	* '''In combat''' — only skill trained '''above 100''' gives you any chance to vanish. The higher your skill, the better your odds.

	~~After any hide attempt (successful or not) there is a short cooldown before you can try again.~~

	~~== How to Hide ==~~
	~~Open your skill list, locate '''Hiding''', and use it. If you succeed you will see:~~

	~~: ''You have hidden yourself well.''~~

	~~If you fail in a safe location you will see:~~

	~~: ''You can't seem to hide here.''~~

	~~If you fail because of nearby combat you will see:~~

	~~: ''You can't seem to hide right now.''~~

	~~Performing almost any action — moving in some cases, attacking, casting, or being struck — will reveal you again.~~

	~~== Combat Hiding ==~~
	~~This is the major Banes World difference from standard shards.~~

	On most servers, being in combat makes hiding '''impossible''', no matter how skilled you are. On Banes World, skill earned beyond 100 lets a trained stealther disappear mid-fight. You are considered "in combat" for hiding purposes when:

	* You have an active combatant within range and can see them, '''or'''
	* Something nearby is actively targeting '''you''' in combat and can see you.

	~~=== Combat Hide Chance by Skill ===~~
	Your chance to hide during combat scales with how far your Hiding skill is trained '''above 100'''. At 100 or below, a combat hide is effectively impossible. The chance climbs steadily and reaches its maximum at '''130'''.

	~~{\| class="wikitable"~~
	~~! Hiding Skill !! Approximate Combat Hide Chance~~
	\|-
	~~\| 100 or below \|\| Not possible~~
	\|-
	~~\| 110 \|\| ~32%~~
	\|-
	~~\| 120 \|\| ~63%~~
	\|-
	~~\| 130 \|\| ~95% (maximum)~~
	\|-
	~~\| Above 130 \|\| Capped at 95%~~
	\|}

	~~A combat hide is '''never''' guaranteed — the chance is capped at 95% so that even a fully trained stealther can occasionally be caught.~~

	'''Important:''' The chance is based on your '''trained skill value''', not your skill cap. Raising your cap to 130 with a Power Scroll does nothing until you actually train those points. A 130-cap character who has only trained to 120 still hides at the ~63% tier.

	~~== House Bonus ==~~
	~~Hiding inside or next to a house you are friended to makes you significantly harder to detect and improves your chances. This bonus applies to both normal and combat hiding:~~

	* '''Inside a friended house''' — large bonus.
	* '''Adjacent to a friended house''' — smaller bonus (non-AOS rule sets).

	~~The house bonus stacks on top of your combat hide chance, though the overall result is still capped at 95%.~~

	~~== Stealth Range ==~~
	~~The "detection bubble" used to determine whether enemies block your hide shrinks as you approach your skill cap:~~

	* A character maxed out at their cap uses the tightest bubble (8 tiles) — enemies must be very close to interfere.
	* A character far below their cap uses a wider bubble (up to 18 tiles).

	~~This means finishing your training not only improves your hide chance but also reduces how close enemies must be to disrupt you.~~

	~~== Power Scrolls ==~~
	~~To train Hiding beyond 100 you need a Hiding Power Scroll to raise your skill cap:~~

	* A '''120 Power Scroll''' raises your Hiding cap to 120.
	* A '''130 Power Scroll''' raises your Hiding cap to 130 (the point at which combat hiding reaches its 95% maximum).

	~~After applying a scroll, you must still train the new points before you see the benefit.~~

	~~== Tips ==~~
	* Stack your skill toward 130 if you want to be a reliable combat stealther in PvP or PvM.
	* Use friended houses as safe-hiding hubs — the bonus can turn a marginal hide into a near-certain one.
	* Remember the cooldown: a failed combat hide costs you time, so don't rely on spamming the skill to escape a losing fight.
	* Pair Hiding with Stealth to move while concealed once you've successfully hidden.
