Revision as of 21:57, 1 December 2021
At 175 ranks of Scouting skill, a Ranger can create a personal trail marker (PTM).
Creating a Personal Trail Marker
Step 1: Forage a rock
Step 2: Imbue the rock
Step 3: Mark the rock with a knife (skinning, carving, etc. Some knives do not work)
- >mark my rock with my knife
- Examining the salient features of the surroundings, you use your skinning knife to chisel a rough map into your skinning knife that identifies your trailhead.
Step 4: Study the rock
- >study my rock
- You study your trail marker rock, attempting to commit the location to memory. Creating a trail marker to mark this location, you sketch a circle around two diamonds on the ground to mark your trail.
Note:
- The study step places a trail marker at that location that is specific to you. Every Ranger has a different symbol (at least I've not found two that are the same yet). You can Scout Marker, Look Marker to see it. (You will need a fellow Ranger with at least 225 Scouting to teach this to you via Scout Read Learn/Teach)
Using a Personal Trail Marker
Now you can go off galivanting about Elanthia -- just take your new pet rock with you. When you want to return to your trail head:
Step 1: get the trail marker rock
Step 2: study the rock
- >study rock
- You study your trail marker rock, refreshing your memory with the location of your trail marker.
Step 3: scout rock to run the trail
- >scout rock
- You set off into the wilds, following the direction on your rock...
Notes:
- You cannot have more than one trail marker rock active; as soon as you mark another rock, that rock becomes your new active trail marker rock.
- You can put down multiple PTM at a time, but only one of them will be active. If you've already put a PTM in a room and you'd like to put down another PTM in the same room, you'll have to KICK MARKER to erase your previous PTM first.
- The room must be at least Ranger Bonus Neutral for you to put down a PTM. And you must be in at least a Ranger Bonus Neutral room to Scout Rock to get to the PTM.
- Certain rooms just do not allow you to put a PTM down, such as the entrance to Crossing Ranger Guild and the room south of it (but the area behind the doors is fine). I had no trouble putting PTMs down in areas like genies or onyx gargoyles.
- Running a PTM takes around 30 seconds, and trains Scouting and Perception just like any normal trail
- At 362 Scouting skill, mark rock lasted for 55 minutes.
Additional actions include:
- COVER their marker to make it more difficult for another Ranger to find.
- ARRANGE their marker to make it a little easier for another Ranger to find.
- TURN their marker to make it very easy for another Ranger to find.
- KICK their marker to get rid of the marker
- LOOK and READ their marker to see some information about it
- STUDY gives normal Study comments
- A Ranger who happens to find another Ranger's marker via SCOUT can:
- LOOK and READ to see what it looks like and who made it
- GO or SNEAK to follow the marker back to the Ranger who made it (albeit with the same distance checks that have always been in place)
