Spot

General Help File

Usage: spot

Description: When you use this command, your character will examine his or her surroundings in an attempt to spot something noteworthy. This can include hidden or partially obscured individuals or items, or harvestable resources if you are outdoors and have the appropriate skill (for example: woodcutting, herbalism).

This is different than the search command, as the search command is a very detailed, physical search of your environment.
