University Text: ''To identify a Falcon Roost, drop a [[Rabbit]]. A falcon will take it sometime within the next 5 minutes (but never within the first minute), and will fly off toward the nearest roost. Trees may be checked for roosts, but doing so is exhausting!''

'''Falcon'''s cannot be seen in Egypt, only tracked.

==Source==
Falcons are found in trees by searching for falcon roosts.

Some settings need to be made to ensure you can search for falcons:
* Self > Options... > One-Click and Related > Fast gather wood from trees needs to be ''unchecked'' [ ]
* Self > Interface Options > Tests: Show menu items for Falcon Roosts needs to be ''checked'' [X]

==Use==
*4 for the [[Test of the Safari]]

Note: There is no physical item received when a Falcon is caught. They take up no space, weigh nothing and cannot be dropped.

==Capturing==
Drop a [[rabbit]], wait for a few minutes till it disappears.

Check your Main chat tab to see which direction (North, South, East, West, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest) it flew off in. Please bear in mind that this includes the direction along all of Egypt. The directions aren't very precise; for example North could also be leaning towards Northeast or Northwest. Use the map (F3) or compass (F4) to determine the direction to search.

Run or go to a [[Chariot Stop]] and travel in that general direction and repeat the step.

Keep repeating this until you have triangulated a small enough area that you can start checking for Falcons.

Start checking falcon roosts in trees in the area. Each time it will trigger the [[endurance]] timer. At 0 END, this timer lasts 120 seconds.

If you're in the right area, and no one else has found it, you should find it soon.

==Useful Information==
*Dropping a rabbit isn't completely necessary to find falcons. There's always a tiny chance of finding the falcon roost in any tree (though the chance is very low).

* The closer you get to the falcon, the less accurate the directional information from dropping a rabbit. This is not a bug. [[User:JulianJaynes|JulianJaynes]] 17:38, 30 June 2009 (EST)

* I tracked 2 falcons simultaneously via chariot hops. There are at least two in Egypt, though they may not always appear at the same time. --[[User:Wrongskian|Wrongskian]]

*I also could not get the page to work. I keep getting this popup saying I need Java installed, but I DO have it installed. After messing around trying various things, I believe I know what the issue is. I was running 64 bit version of IE but only had the 32 bit of Java installed. If you open IE click Help, About it will say if you're using the 64 bit version. The other way to tell is to right click the IE icon, choose Properties. The 32 bit IE will point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe and the 64 bit will point to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. If you're using the 64 bit IE, then start using the 32 bit.

*I strongly recommend having both 32 and 64 bit Java installed (7u21). Some programs wont support the 64 bit anyways. If you want to start out fresh and make sure everything is up to par, then uninstall all versions of Java. Then go to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp . Download and install BOTH Windows Offline 32 bit and Windows Offline 64 bit. One will be installed in Program Files (x86) and the other will be installed to the Program Files folder. The page is now working perfectly!

*User notes regarding Falcon Finder tool:
**Twice, immediately after finding a falcon, I dropped a rabbit for a falcon, watched it go one direction, dropped a second rabbit '''in the same place''', only to see the falcon fly in a completely different direction. As a result, I conclude that FalconFinder2 is useless, ''also see above comment about the directions not being precise''. I suggest simply dropping a rabbit, watching falcon fly off, searching 5-10 nearby trees roughly in direction indicated, then give up and drop another rabbit to reset the falcon's location. This produced falcons every 3-4 rabbits without a lot of running around. -Ikuu
**As a contrary opinion, I tracked a falcon using falcon finder across 3 regions and it was entirely accurate - it narrowed the possible region down to just one oasis using 4-5 rabbits, and the falcon was in the first tree I tried. --[[User:Inkoaten|Inkoaten]] 09:25, 22 April 2009 (EST)
**If there is indeed only one falcon in Egypt at a time, someone catching it will cause the direction to change as you start orienting on the new one. Falcon finder can only show you where a falcon is, not who else might be hunting it. [[User:JulianJaynes|JulianJaynes]] 20:36, 3 May 2009 (EST)
** 10/1/10: Used about 20 bunnies running around in circles in a small area. Had [[User:RosieRazor|RosieRazor]] help confirm i was not crazy. Rosie and I each dropped a bunny in the exact same spot. Mine went SE, her's went SW. Moved Directly south 20 coords and dropped a falcon. That one went North. Conclusion: Gave up. [[User:Oni|Oni]].
** 10/27/10: I have found FalconFinder to be extremely usefull. Having found all 4 of my falcons with as little as 4 and at the most 8 rabbits. I drop one rabbit and follow indicated direction on falcon finder for aprox 700 to 1K cords and drop another and re-enter info. Doing this has led to captures in an average of 2 hrs with the longest taking me almost 5. [[User:Articgrey|Articgrey]] 02:17, 27 October 2010
** 2/12/12: Using FalconFinder, I was able to track down a falcon with 5 rabbits in less than an hour. However, the map is not from T6, so the universities and schools are now different. If I had realized that sooner, I would have saved myself one rabbit. Focus more on the coordinates and less on the landmarks! [[User:Minerva|Minerva]]

* Note that altars interfere with bunny-dropping. I dropped a rabbit three times near an altar (about 10 coords away) and waited over 10 minutes each time without falcons taking them. I had no idea what was wrong, but thankfully someone on Egypt filled me in -- moving about 50 coords away and dropping a bunny again did the trick.

* In '''tale 7''' the map on Nemoder's map is slightly out, it shows a little further north-west than the tree is really located. Be aware of that if you get it down really close to the area, as it'll be a little south-east of the map (and possibly in the area showing as black) [[User:Silden|Silden]] 12:31, 9 November 2015 (EST)
