pvp tracking

[Turless]

I was wondering how much tracking do you have to have to be effective in tracking players.
Trying to decide between detect or track.

thanks all.

Not sure about the success rate, but you get 0.75 tiles of range per point of tracking, so 80 tiles of range at GM (5 base tiles + 75 from GM). You can play around with it and see how much you need. I think it's a personal preference type of deal and depends what you use it for. At around 50 you will fail a bit but if you keep using it you will eventually find people, and with fairly decent range. At 50 Detect on the other hand you will never reveal anyone.

Both skills are easy to raise (and free) so experiment and see how much you need.

yeah i had gmed tracking but when tracked down could reveal(no Magery on this guy and no detect) i thought about exp-lo pots but idk...
any other way to get someone to reveal without any of the above skills or spells needed?

People use exp potions to reveal all the time. Explosion potions the ultimate uof op item of choice, The one item to rule them all.
