◄ Back to Skills Overview

The Tracking skill allows players to locate nearby creatures, NPCs, and players. On Angel Island and Seasons, Tracking has been significantly enhanced and serves as a core wilderness, scouting, and detective skill.

What Tracking Does

Tracking can be used to search for:

  • Animals
  • Monsters
  • Human NPCs
  • Players

Once a target is selected, Tracking will attempt to guide you toward that target if they remain within range.

Tracking Range

Tracking range is based on skill level.

Base Formula:

Search Range = 10 + (Tracking Skill × 0.1)

Examples:

Tracking Skill Search Range Arrow Range

Note: Angel Island, Mortalis, and Seasons rulesets triple the standard tracking search range.

Search Range

The Search Range determines how far away a target may be detected when performing a tracking search.

A Grandmaster Tracker can locate targets up to 60 tiles away.

Arrow Range

If a tracked target is within Arrow Range, a quest arrow will point directly toward the target.

At Grandmaster Tracking:

  • Search Range: 60 tiles
  • Arrow Range: 120 tiles

Hint Range

If a target is beyond Arrow Range but still within Hint Range, Tracking will provide directional clues such as:

  • North
  • South
  • Northeast
  • Southwest

At Grandmaster Tracking:

  • Hint Range: 180 tiles

If the target moves beyond Hint Range, the trail is considered lost.

Tracking and Detectives

Tracking plays a central role in the Detective profession.

When combined with Forensic Evaluation, detectives can collect evidence from murder scenes and store leads inside a Forensic Notebook.

These leads can substantially improve the effectiveness of Tracking when pursuing a suspect.

A skilled detective can follow a murderer far beyond the normal tracking limits by leveraging forensic evidence collected from the suspect's victims.

For more information, see Detective.

Training Tracking

Tracking can be trained by repeatedly tracking nearby creatures, animals, NPCs, or players.

Tracking gains are available from 0.0 to Grandmaster simply by using the skill.
