Detect Hidden
Rogue · Skill guide
Search for hidden targets and discover supported trap layers. Maximum skill: 120 with Power Scrolls; useful alongside Item Identification and Remove Trap.
Summary
- Use: Use Detect Hidden on the ground or yourself for an area search, or target a supported trap.
- Discovering a trap does not disarm it.
- Search results depend on distance, concealment and target restrictions.
Training
Set Detect Hidden to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from a Ranger for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–100 | Repeat valid area searches, or use an armed Trap Practice Chest outside training regions. |
| 100–120 | Discover unresolved layers on sufficiently difficult Ancient Dungeon Caches. The practice chest stops at 100. |
Above 100, use matching Power Scrolls in order: 105, 110, 115, then 120. They unlock caps without granting skill points.
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
For signed traps, Detect Hidden reveals presence, tier and the number of readable layers when the skill is within 20 points of the layer’s tier requirement. It is also a mandatory 50.0 prerequisite for Remove Trap training. Results against hidden characters still depend on range and opposing concealment; there is no single universal reveal percentage.
Additional rules & notes
- For signed traps: discover the layer, identify it, then use its appropriate countermeasure.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Ranger or Thief NPC to 50.0.
- Academy: Search where valid hidden or practice-trap targets are available.
