Having levelled up in LOTRO, I received the new skill Passage of Nature for my Hunter. You get Passage of Nature at level 12, and it allows you to search the ground for tracks. Then a dialog pops up and shows animals that are nearby so you can select one and track it. After that the skill needs a cooldown period before you can choose a new animal to track. Once you've selected an animal, it should appear as a red target symbol on your mini-map and on the main map. However, when I first used it, I selected the animal and nothing happened. When I pressed M and looked on the map, I realised I could see the animal, but not on the mini-map, so I right clicked on the mini-map and looked in Filters and sure enough "Tacked Animals" was not checked. Once I'd ticked "Tracked Animals" in the filter, then the Passage of Nature Skill worked correctly.

It appears LOTRO turns off that filter by default, so you have to turn it on manually, or else Passage of Nature appears to do absolutely nothing, and you'll wonder why you've bought it! It actually turned out to be a useful skill almost immediately, as I was sent off to find some boar meat. Nice and easy when you can get the map to tell you where the animals are.
