Yes, but that doesn't tell you what direction the resource is in when it is at 0. So you can either sit and spin around, or if you have at least 5m range and 20' angle you can take a couple steps back and should be able to prospect the resource.

ah
will give it a try when i get some more points

That is what I'm using too and it works well.

Tracking is useful if NOT a Fyros or Tryker, and if your vid card doesn't show the clues (my daughter is one of those without the clues showing on her system, but then, he card is BARELY meeting specs...so that is prolly it)

But if you can SEE the clues...tracking is a waste of sp. It is a Hot cold game and takes you to ANY grade of ANY material, depleted node or not. Not useful if you can see where to look at all.

What clues are there that shows you there is something to harvest ? Im a Fyros, and I would be interested to know.

I have managed to find netting around those large cocoons, which makes sense, but at a loss where else to look

lol

Visual marks for the Fyros would be those patches of green/blue gunk that sits on the ground - while they might not be used in the newbieland, and aren't everywhere tho the spawns are when it comes to nearby the stables, they are very important for finding them.

It's not just blatant clues either - concentrations of bushes and things are a good signal to check for sources.

Tracking is useful imo no matter what race you are - higher qual mats aren't found as commonly and it eventually gets to a point where they do not have any visual markers.

I need help with 50m tracking. I have used the skill many, many times and it has worked only twice. If I am doing something wrong, can someone help with a technique to make it work more often? Thanks in advance!

the micro vegitation doesnt count as clues, the clues are actual markings on the ground, some are really small and hard to see (even with all graphics maxed), some actually resemble stuff like shells (not 100% on that as i only heard someone mention it, and some are really obvious, like largeish circle with a cross at the top (i found that one in zorai lands helping out a couple of harvesters)

Well, i do have up to 200M tracking, but i only use it when i am searching for very specific items.

But then again, once i have tracked the mats down, i also use a custom propspect to only raise the mats that i had specified.

I have found that some areas might have several types of mats overlapping one spot, and if you don't add the option for specific materials in the prospect, you may no get what you want. Even if you're looking in the right spot.
