<p>Separating mechanics related information from Verb:TRACK to its own article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{TOCright}}<br /> [[Ranger]]s have an innate ability to {{boldmono|[[Verb:TRACK|TRACK]]}} normally spawning creatures within hunting grounds. This is done via {{boldmono|TRACK {creature}}} while in an appropriate hunting area.<br /> <br /> Using {{boldmono|TRACK AREA}} allows a ranger to display a list of all creatures that will normally inhabit that room for which the Ranger has the possibility of succeeding at tracking. For players with point-and-click enabled, the list is able to be interacted with in that sense.<br /> <br /> Rangers can {{boldmono|TRACK}} while hidden in an attempt to sneak up on their target. In doing so, the ranger will stay hidden when they arrive at their target with a successful attempt. When using [[Camouflage (608)]] to hide, the AS boost conveyed by the spell will be lost in the same manner as {{boldmono|SNEAKing}} to a different room. If a ranger is leading a group, they can lead their group members to the creature. If the ranger&#039;s companion assists the ranger with tracking, it will be brought along with the ranger immediately.<br /> <br /> Ranger tracking does not include [[bandit]]s or [[Grimswarm]]. It does, however, include grizzled creatures from the [[Adventurer&#039;s Guild#Boss creature|dangerous creature bounty]]. With grizzled creatures, the ranger should {{boldmono|TRACK}} the creature &#039;&#039;type&#039;&#039; from their bounty and {{boldmono|TRACK}} will automatically choose the grizzled foe first. Successfully tracking any creature will move the ranger to a room where a live creature of that type is present and no other players are currently engaged with it. <br /> <br /> Rangers can improve their tracking success rate with higher [[Wisdom]] and [[Intuition]] bonuses, [[Survival]], and [[Perception]]. Another factor of success is the level difference between the ranger and the target creature. This level difference scales quadratically. One tip is to consider using [[Assume Aspect (650)]], particularly Yierka, for a good boost. Rangers also gain a bonus to successful tracking if they currently have an [[Adventurer&#039;s Guild]] bounty for that creature. Last, if you find yourself failing tracking attempts frequently against like-level creatures, the primary recommendation is to increase your Survival training.<br /> <br /> There is a one minute cooldown period after tracking a creature, regardless of success or failure. <br /> <br /> Successfully tracking a creature results in some [[roundtime]], which can be reduced by Survival training and having the ranger&#039;s [[animal companion]] present to as little as 2 seconds (or 1 second with enough [[enhancives]]). At level 48 with 2x Survival and an animal companion, a ranger could get as low as 4 seconds of roundtime. The maximum amount of roundtime for a successful track is 12 seconds. Roundtime reduction is linear in skill bonus. This ability is meant to encourage further training in Survival.<br /> <br /> ==Messaging==<br /> Messaging varies significantly depending on whether or not the location is appropriate for tracking, whether or not creatures are present, and various possibilities of success/failure.<br /> {{#section:Verb:TRACK|messaging}}<br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Verb:TRACK]]<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> [[Category:Ranger]]<br /> [[Category:Special Abilities]]</div>
