	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'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.
