This is a short guide on how to track Jadinkos. Often I find people running around searching every single bush or plant in the vicinity to find the next set of footprints. I was quite surprised to find that this was not a randomized process, and that through several repetitions, the same path never changed.

 

So here's a short guide on how to track a Jadinko in 30 seconds (Timing from start of first click on burrow to obtaining a vine)

 

[hide=1) Inspect this burrow for initial tracks:]

[/hide]

 

[hide=2) Inspect this plant:]

[/hide]

 

[hide=3) The tracks disappear into a hole, so go find this hole and inspect it:]

[/hide]

 

[hide=4) Inspect this plant:]

[/hide]

 

[hide=5) Attack bush:][/hide]

 

6) Repeat 1-5 until you have enough vines/experience

 

 

Each track is on average between 25-30 seconds depending on accuracy, tick timing, and concentration. You will most likely catch Diseased Jadinkos, in order to get Corrupt Vine for Juju Hunter Potions.

 

Each Diseased Jadinko gives 580.5 Hunter experience, so if you were to do this for an hour, you would get around 69k experience. Not bad, but box trapping with Marasamaw Plant is the generally preferred way of optimizing Hunter experience.

 

This method works for other starting burrows, and picking another hole, but I find this to be the best route time-wise.

 

Fun fact: In the 30 minutes it took to write this, you could have tracked 60 Jadinkos.

If I recall properlyl from the last time I went, each burrow has 2 possible outcomes. Although it kinda seems like 1 outcome is more likely than the other.

I concur with OP. That is how I tracked all 3 of the Jadinkos. The path never changed for me.
