http://groups.google.com/group/rec.game ... ect+hidden# - Oct 18 1999Actually, you do need to do this if you want the no-gain, 100% detect hidden
to work. And if you don't do DH when you are on your steps and enter your
house, you are inviting looters.
All char's on an account have access to secure's, but the DH doesn't work.

that you gain dex from using detect hidden in your house. Yet it always
succeeds if you are the house's owner, and it will never go up as long as
you are the owner. i.e.- macro "detect hidden" all day and what you're
effectively doing is macroing "gain dexterity" instead.

According to OSI, a house owner using Detect Hidden in their own house
will not raise the skill, but will reveal anyone in the house.
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.game ... 220667dcb4 - Feb 26 1999I'm sick and tired of all this whinning say that this skill will ruin the
game, and that "I'm not going to train in Detect Hidden" read update.owo.com
If you own or are a friend to the house, and use detect hidden they will be
revealed no matter what your skill and it will not raise the skill, that
should fix everything y'all are complaining about..
