Default How to can tracking?

Right, anyone who's having issues tracking their epic quests beasts better listen up. This seems to sound complicated when I explain but really it's no harder than eating crayons so most of you should get it eventually.
  • Complete one or more pilgrimages and be at your maximum level
  • Turn travel mode off and be ungrouped
  • Go to www.nodiatis.com and click 'World Map' at the bottom
  • When the map page opens, right-click and 'Save image'
  • Open the downloaded map image in MS Paint or something like that
  • Go to the Seer, click his face and 'Request Epic Quest Task'
  • Open skills, go to the 'Adventuring' section, right-click on 'Tracking' -> 'Track Epic Quest Task' - you will receive a message saying "What you seek is ____" (North/South/East/West) You'll want to raise tracking.
  • Switch to your downloaded map and draw two lines at 45 degrees either side of the direction you received. In this case, North.
  • Your beast cannot be outside of these lines. If your beast was on the 'X' here, it would be more easterly then northerly so your direction would have said 'East'.
  • Walk halfway through the tracking area or as far as you like, for a large area maybe 1/4 of the way then track again
  • Draw two more lines around the new direction you receive, in this case East
  • Cut your area down and track again, draw your lines. In this case we got West
  • Repeat, this time West again
  • When you have a small area left, walk side to side or up and down until you get a hit
  • This is where I ended up today

Don't forget to resource.

Repeat every day until the end of time. Now you can tracking.

Nice guide Enduir.

I do it a bit differently - wherever I start from, I'll head to a town that's roughly in that direction - so in your case above, I'd have gone to Maalin. Then, going East, I'd have headed for Atlimus. Then, when I start getting directed back on myself, I walk in 10 step blocks, , then 5, and when I've got it that close, I'll just scan, knowing I'll hit it within 10-15 moves.

Your way is different from mine, therefore wrong. [/internet]

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

Sweet, Enduir. This should be stickied. Or, added to Pilgrimage data.

One advice that seemed to work for me... start your first tracking from T3.

if North, travel to altimus then re-track
if West, travel to aerthol then re-track
if South, travel somewhere to north of jungle canopy then re-track
if East, go to Castille, then re-track

That way, it seems that it divides the map quite well
