If i wasent so dead set on getting master ranger id stop at 4441 but i got that first box of trapping tonight after 40 trapes lol. first i got a bug that i couldent get out of the ride i was in and it said for an unknown reason i cant exite and my friend couldent store it till i logged and cam back. Then i made alot of traps and 1 out of like 10 stuck. Well its all worth it to gain the master tital.

Spell check must be a drag too.

I've been doing my darndest to extensively track Trapping XP and so far I've noticed that on low level creatures things seem to be going very smoothly (though XP awards could probably be looked at.)


I hear alot of people are having trouble at higher levels ... my testing char is only 1/0/0/0 scout so I can't say for sure what the story is so far.


I'd suggest just making up a crate and going to town. I use P-Darts almost exclussively as a CL 77 Ranger and I'm hitting with 50% accuracy on my live toon.

Phenecine Darts are awesome. They will stop a ny animal dead in its tracks and you can finish them off. In fact, the other night,I accidentally pulled 2 Ancient Bull Rancors, darted both of them and killed both of them without taking any damage, just took a long time.

The real problem seems to be that the success of trapping is some absolute check of Trapping skill vs creature CL. If you start using traps right off the bat this is no problem, but if you get to cl14-20 first - which was easily done with the double exp and then try to start trapping you end up with this insanely bad rate of traps landing. My friend who has this problem has reported it as roughly 1 trap in 20 landing on "green" cons.

I have rarely had trouble with any traps...My traps stick about 1 out of every 4...(most of the time on the first trap tho)...Someone else in this thread mentioned the fact of getting a late start on trapping...I believe he is right...The only time I had trouble with my traps was when I leveled everything else first, then came back and tried doing the traps...Most of the time I start with the trapping because at low levels it will help you out so much..It was not until Ranger xxx3 that trapping xp got really slow for me...Thats when med to large groups come in handy..


Just my 2cents

Find a friendly Chef to make a few crates of Dweezel for you. It's a food that increases your trapping ability. Those traps will hit a lot more often for you.
