I just started grinding tracking in my horse pen. At <20 skill I found no tracks older than 'more than half a day'. Also I'm finding tracks from animals in neighbouring pens (if I'm within 3 tiles (at 20 skill) from the fence of that pen). And I'm only finding tracks from animals that actually moved in that timespan (some of my animals tend to move a lot more than others). So if tracks are found it means that some animal (or player) moved in the near vicinity, not that it actually passed the tile you're tracking. Also I found that tracking is performed on the tile you stand on (since I got the same messages no matter which surrounding tiles i pointed to). Also it seems like tracks from older/larger animals stay longer. [[User:Arvid|Arvid]] 08:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
The reason I started grinding tracking was that someone sometime within the previous 8 rl hours broke into said horsepen (which is offdeed and where i take horses that I plan to butcher and so is less important). Nevertheless I wanted to identify the intruder. However I didnt find anything around where he must have passed apart from some animal tracks which were no older than 'more than half a day'.
Also the text saying which direction the tracks leads makes absolutely no sense to me. It seems quite random.
