Effect

Multiplies the number of Trailed monsters by 4. Normal Adventure Queue rejection does not occur on the Olfacted monster.

Monster Chances

The "N / monster" column is either the name of the unevenly distributed monster, or the number of evenly distributed monsters in the Zone. For example, N=5 can refer to The Black Forest or Lair of the Ninja Snowmen. The Trailed Rate refers only to the chance that a combat encounter will be the given monster, since different areas with the same number of monsters can have different combat rates, and On The Trail does not affect Combat Frequency.

N / monster Untrailed Rate Trailed Rate
2 50.0% 88.00%
3 33.3% 77.63%

Notes

  • In the effect description, <monstername> is the name of the monster being tracked.
  • Does not have any effect on Combat Frequency.
  • You can not get rid of the trailed monster using a divine champagne popper, Creepy Grin or Harold's bell, since these are assumed to set the rejection rate of the monster to 100%, but that rejection rate is never checked when the monster is being trailed.
  • This effect works across different areas. If you olfact a drunken half-orc hobo from the choice adventure in the Haunted Pantry, and then go to the Sleazy Back Alley, the drunken half-orc hobo will show up as expected with Olfaction's effect manipulating how things occur.

References

  • The effect's description is based on some famous lines spoken by the character Elmer Fudd.
