Hiding was removed after an update. The contents of this page no longer exist in RuneScape, and this article is kept for historical purposes.

Hiding was an equipment bonus that existed very early in Runescape Classic's history. It was intended to help keep aggressive monsters away from the player, by reducing the monsters' chances of noticing, following, and attacking the player, but was never implemented. Instead, several aggressiveness behaviors for different monsters were incorporated into the game. Using the Camouflage spell on the GoodMagic spell book would increase the player's hiding stat, at a cost of 1 fire rune, 1 mind rune, and 1 body rune. In an update on 10 May 2001, the stats list was reorganized, completely removing Hiding from the list of equipment bonuses.
