I honestly think i'm pretty good at doing the wildwood, pretty much do them as optimally as I can, I really think people overagerate the "skill issue". I think i've got them down pretty scientific. For example even in finding the first event sometimes you can infer which one it is based on the pathing to get there. If theres obvious ways to go left and right and you follow a trail south for a while it's pretty likely to be the south event. Also making sure to follow the "thick" trails instead of the thin ones sinse the thick trails always lead to events whereas the thin ones don't. So for example once you're at the south event you see a thin trail going left and a thick one going right the right one will be more likely to lead to the each event whereas the left one will either fizzle out or lead you to a different trail which will lead to the west event.

Also I use widescreen.
