Thread: Rangers i seek your knowledge
So my attempt to rejoin my fellow Ranger ranks has failed, my trapping droid failed, i dropped everything to be a level 10 nobody from a level 80 somebody and it seems that on my server trapping xp is so broke that it doesnt land, it doesnt count if it does land, and even if it did land im afraid ide only get 1 trapping xp anyways, i have officially lost my love for this game and the fact that i cant be what i want to be now. so im going to take a break, either goto space or discontinue my account when the month ends. hope to hear from you all soon

Just to check, did you kill the creature after landing the traps? They changed trapping xp to be handed out like weapon xp instead of every time you successfully land a trap.
Until Publish 20 changes things:
Trapping level is what is used to determine if a trap can land. As a Novice Scout, your TL is +5. That means you can successfully land traps on level 5 critters. If you use Dweezil +21 to trapping, you can go up to level 26 critters.
The Trapping XP awarded, however, is based solely on your CL compared to the critters CL. If you're CL20, hunting CL5 critters, because your Trapping level is +5, then you'll be able to successfully land traps, but you'll get 1xp per kill.
If you're CL20, hunting CL20 critters, with a TL of +5, you'll never land a trap, or rather land one every 20th throw or so.
If you're CL20, novice Scout, hunting mission critters, of CL20 level, and you're munching on Dweezil, you should be landing traps, and after the critter is dead, getting either full trapping XP (if all you did was toss traps) or split XP if you also killed the critter with another weapon.
My appologies if you already understood this, or don't give a flying Bantha fart.
