Profession preview | Based on client build 1.60.1.70245, compiled on 9 October 2026. Not tested in-game. This evidence excludes hotfixes and some encrypted records; actual availability and behavior require in-game confirmation.
The current description says players can read a placed Field Guide to gain Track Beasts, and that it provides all the benefits of a Camp Chair. The guide requires a nearby campfire and can replace a Camp Chair.〔1〕
Why it is worth watching
This record concerns access to information. Players searching for beasts may want to know whether it can help them plan their movements more effectively. However, Track Beasts does not necessarily identify rare targets, specific quest creatures or every skinnable target. Which characters can read the guide, how the effect persists and whether it works alongside existing tracking abilities each need separate testing.〔2〕
Conditions supported by the current data
- Profession: Skinning
- Item usage requirement: Skinning 140
These item usage conditions are not recipe learning requirements. The learning route still needs to be checked.〔3〕
What to test next
- Which players can read it, and does reading require Skinning skill?
- How long does tracking last, and can it continue after leaving camp?
- How does it interact with class tracking, quest objectives and map filters?
These are targets for the next round of testing, not confirmed acquisition or usage rules.〔2〕
Crafting materials
| Material | Recipe quantity |
|---|---|
| Medium Leather | 3 |
| Slimy Murloc Scale | 2 |
| Fine Thread | 1 |
Quantities follow the current recipe record. The actual output per craft still needs to be checked.〔4〕
