Why, at Master Ranger, would Ifail 4 traps in a row? Traps are the only thing keeping me from getting killed since I'm a rifleman. I die enough as it is...


I'm getting so frustrated...

I'm sorryif this determined elsewhere and Imissed it, but doesn't the quality of the resources used affect how well traps work? I'm notsure if it affects how successful the crafting is (vs. critical failure) or if it affects usage, or both. but i try to use higher quality hides, bones, etc for the important traps (like phen dart) and use lower quality for stuff like camps or "grinding xp" traps

I dont know if this has anything to do with it...but i had the same problem.


Now whenever i get the chance I craft my traps near a crafting station and now I rarely have those problems. Of course i get the failures...but not as often. On average in a baz nitch lair...i throw 20 traps....only 4 to 5 fail non consecutively.


Then again this may just be probability disfavoring you (think rosencrantz and gildenstern)

I find I have fewer failures during crafting them and a higher success level if I craft in the firld while in my advanced camps...but then...maybe its me. I have a sneaking sudpicion the Devs wrote the program to be like that as we are Rangers and "Dont care for cities much"
