Scouting is a survival skill used to track creatures, players or to enter the Ranger Trail System. The scouting skill is available exclusively to Rangers.

Usage

Scouting is primarily trained via the SCOUT command.

SCOUT SYNTAX:
-------------
scout area
scout cover my tracks
scout cover <player's> tracks
scout cover my trail <direction>
scout marker
scout read learn
scout read teach
scout trailmarker
scout awareness <player>
-------------

The Scouting skill will determine the difficulty of trailmarker you are able to read. As skill progresses more difficult trails will become available, the roundtime for scouting a trailmarker will decrease as well as transit time inside the trail system. The amount of people you can lead down a trail will also increase with skill.

Scouting may also be trained via the TRACK or HUNT commands.

Scouting awareness works on players, creatures you hunt, and on NPC's.

Training Strategy

Training scouting at low levels of skill is most easily done by mixing in HUNT with your normal hunting routine. In addition to training scouting very well, it also trains perception.

Once you have enough ranks to scout trailmarkers training becomes significantly easier. Simply find two linking trailmarkers and run between the two.

Training Scouting will teach a small amount of perception.
