Tracking[]
Footprints displayed by the Tracking skill.
Tracking is a feature that allows a player to track down a monster or player registered as a friend.[7] Tracking can be activated by calling out the main menu window, selecting «Searching» from the skill tab and selecting «Tracking» from the skill's sub-menu.[7] If the user is tracking a player, they may insert the name of the player into a pop-up input window.[7] Once a target is selected, pale green footprints appear in the player's vision, showing which way the target went.[7] As the level of the skill increases, the user will be able to see older footprints.[7] At the lowest level, the user may only see footprints that were made up to around a minute before the use of the skill.[7]
