Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Tracker is a skill used in adventurer mode which allows an adventurer to track creatures. Higher levels let you spot more tracks and help distinguish different tracks. The only time that this skill is not being trained is when your adventurer is sleeping, waiting, or having too much fun. As a result, it will typically reach legendary status by the end of an in-game week. Historical figures that have done scouting, beast hunting or wandering in the past always seem to have some levels of this skill.

In fortress mode, this is used by scholars who are naturalists. Monster slayers also have this skill, but it is unknown if or how it helps them pursue their personal goals.
