Aside from buying trackers, how should i ward as jungler? What are some instances where i should get sweeper instead of a basic ward? Vice versa? What are some key spots to put a control ward?

When playing Eve, my fav jungler, I like to keep a control ward up at my blue, and when i invade, place a trinket at the enemy buff. There's a spot that's just inside of the bush that you can ward, and it reveals the whole intersection. This not only helps you keep track of your enemy jungler's buffs, but their movements as well.

I rarely take anything but Yellow trinket on eve, but if you're playing other junglers like Ivern or Nidalee, it may be best for you to take a trackers and then get oracles.

The best Wards are aggressive Wards around Mid followed by deepwards into the enemy JGL.

You want to get as much controll into the River as possible. Both Mid and JGL should work for this by constantly keeping up Pinks at Bot side to prevent the enemy Mid from roaming as well as keeping your Mid save of Ganks.

That should alway be the case no matter if you go for Tracker or not.

With Tracker you should use Sweeper to not only gain Vision but also deny it from your opponents enabeling your mid to roam. Additionally you can deepward the enemy JGL. Once again controlling the Bot JGL will more likely win you the game than Top so the Bushes at Blue as Blueside and at Red as Red SIde are good targets to ward. Also the ones next to Wolfes and Raptors.

Two ways early. Offensive, their red-chicken/blue-gromp area to counter jung or just know position. Or in the red bush at lvl3ish for a slow full clear. Or middle of wall over it in river like near scut. Then later you just want to ward by setting up an obj. So bot side tower low and drag is up. Ward deep for vision/sweep or pink a full minute befor obj. So its really just proactive. Think about what buffs are up/down if drag or rift is more important etc etc
