Tracking a herbiboar starts by inspecting the rock, mushroom, or log next to the hunter icon on the minimap. Tracking the creatures involves inspecting rocks, seaweed, muddy patches, and mushrooms around the area to find tracks, each inspection earning 50 Hunter xp, and occasionally giving numulite and/or unidentified fossils. By following the tracks more objects can be inspected to eventually reveal a tunnel containing a herbiboar. A ring of pursuit cannot be used to track herbiboars. On rare occasions, the player may fail to track it down. When this occurs, a message will appear in the chatbox, stating The creature has successfully confused you with its tracks, leading you round in circles. You'll need to start again.
