lol i got 444x ranger in like 2 hunting trips or about 7 missions. All the while trying to trap. After 3 days of being out with hunting groups i got my first box in traping lol. WAS glad to get rescue but then i found out that was broken.......oh well ill just hunt jedi till it gets fixed.

lol forgot to tell ya i got 444x ranger in about 7 missions with double xp week lol

Has something been fixed ? we ask with baited breath.

CL 54 ranger 4 2 2 1 and was out hunting with our level 80 commando last night.

Hunting lvl 79 beasts was getting 4k trapping xp per beast using phenacaine followed by noise maker followed by glow the spur.

first time i have been able to trap by grouping.

Long may it last

CL60 myself, managed to get Ranger Trapping IV from 0 to 450k xp in one hunt with my PA.

Basically I only threw traps, no shooting, 5.2k trapping xp per kill.

This is all great if you leveled trapping at the same time as your CL, but for someone who wants to add scout/ranger as an afterthought, they're completely stuck.

Never mind adding it as an afterthought, I just want to pick it up ... I suppose it's respec for me.

On nice way to help us out in traping would be to give us a little trap'n xp when we make them .

Not sure if this is your guys problem or not but to me it seems that the trapping points I recieve are a direct correlation to the amount a creature gives out plus the damage you do to that creature for example.....Ranger 1 and Ranger 2 are in a group. Ranger 1 uses his rifle and traps....on a level 80 bantha. Bantha gives total experience of 5k (give or take) 4k goes to rifle while 1k goes to trapping....on other hand Ranger 2 uses her traps only (should get expeirence because causes agro not sure may want to check into this) but Ranger 2 would get 5k trapping exp because no damage was done with her weapon.

I do know that when using my ranger that trapping exp was given more due to the ratio of damage I did to a creature and if I and if I took my rifle and trapping exp when I threw a trap it equalled my rifle exp when I didn't throw a trap not sure what would balance this out though since I only throw three different traps when hunting and thats if the group hasn't killed it by the time the second has landed. Those working on the skill may want to parnter up with some one and test this more thuroughly

i'd just like to know if this has been fixed

I'm not aware of any way for you to level Scout Trapping while keeping CL 80. They really need to fix this.

Any idea how much I'd need to drop to be able to get started on trapping? Rough CL I mean

My recommendation here is to make a novice scout on another server to test this out. Your ability to trap will be exactly the same when you pick up Novice Scout. Then just find some mid level targets and throw the traps. If you have autoattack off, I don't think you get agroed on a miss so you should be able to start relatively high up. And remember that the trapping food (and the FS skills) can give you a slight boost.

But I would guess that CL 20-30 creatures might be hard to trap with Novice Scout even with trapping food (CL 50ish used to be low level Ranger Trapping targets). I would honestly recommend holding off on this until they fix it as you will likely need to decimate your template for it (unless you still have some respec time left). I can't say for certain what it will take but it's not a happy way to go about it.

Actually, looking at your template, just try trapping various creatures you see around (as you already seem to have the Novice Scout). Dropping your CL won't change your trapping ability so you would probably need to drop your CL at least to the point where the highest thing you can trap is green con. It's likely to need a quite low CL (but try the trapping food to help out as well).
