Scanning for mobile NPC's

I was wanting to ask the community before I drove myself crazy on figuring this one out.

What would be the most efficient way to track down a mobile NPC like Vankelo (100064) who wanders around a wide area?

My initial thought was to follow him around, marking waypoints along the path. Then I would reverse the order and trace the trail in the other direction, checking for him at each of the waypoints.

Would it be better to just move into the area he patrols, increase the scan range, and wait for him to find me?

This is probably the only quest that I'm stuck on (so far) in my experiment of creating a 100% quest profile for Howling Mountains.

I went and had a quick look at him. The area he covers is not that large. You should be able to go to the middle, detect him, then go straight to him. You might hit an obstacle but as long as you keep trying to go to him until you reach him then it should work.
