UO Tracking Skill Guide
Tracking lets you locate nearby creatures or players and follow their trail. It’s a key anti-stealth tool in PvP and useful in PvM to find specific monsters, champ spawns, or quest targets.
Tracking is a utility skill in Ultima Online, rated as Easy difficulty to train. This guide walks you through everything you need to raise Tracking from 0 to grandmaster, including the most efficient training methods, the targets and items to use at each skill range, and the gains you can expect along the way. Whether you are building your first character or optimizing a finished template, the breakdown below will help you train Tracking as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Below you will find an overview of what Tracking does, a step-by-step training guide, recommended skill ranges, any bonuses Tracking provides, and the templates that pair well with it. If you would rather skip the grind, UO King can deliver a ready-made character or the gear you need to support a Tracking build on your shard.
Gains are earned by using the Tracking skill and selecting a target type (animals, monsters, NPCs, players). Higher difficulty targets and longer tracks tend to yield better gains.
