Slippery Targets: Not all targets let themselves are found as easily as others. Here are some tips on how to catch those squirmy ones. Mission runners are a juicy target (but are way harder to find with the 13.12.2006 hot-fix patch, as Maple Story Mesos is everything inside dead-space), with some special properties in regards to scanning.
First of all, they usually have drones out, which can be found with your probes. Including the 'Drone & Probe' group in your scan will increase your chances of finding them. Secondly, if they are in a dead-space area, you don't need to get a full accuracy result.
Just getting within a few thousand kilometers is enough, because at that range the dead-space field will pick you up and dump you at the entrance gate.
You can use multiple probes at the same time, which will affect your scans. Using multiple probes is both a curse and a blessing. You cannot drop one probe inside the scan area of another probe, so to get them positioned right can be a hard proposition.
However, if the target is in range of more than one probe, your chance of finding them is significantly increased.
