Ok, I have read the faqs, but I still have a question. I'm level II in trapping, what is a good trap that I can throw more than once in a battle? I am looking to get more than a one time trapping xp on each creature. Any tips on getting trapping xp fast? I am a TKM, so battles are not a problem.

I set up a macro I called double trap that threw 2 traps and had no problem getting trap XP. I used the macro on everything I saw.

Glow juice, wire mesh and stink bombs can be thrown over and over and over at a creature.
You can throw 100 glow juice in a row at a creature and they all have the same chances of sticking and giving xp. Their effect is not cumulative, nor do you have to wait until the last one wore off. Same deal with wire mesh, toss away.
Not going to tell you to go to a particular POI on Talus, get on a balcony and toss hundreds of traps at the Greater Sludge Panthers there.

Hmm, sounds like someone has a guilty conscience....
JBMat, confession is good for the soul.

I thought they "fixed" that so if you tried to do that, you got kicked out and warped down among those same GSPs? Maybe I read it wrong, I THOUGHT I saw that somewhere. Not that it matters since I've mastered trapping for Scout and Ranger, so I'm using traps for hunting tactics vs "just for" experience at this point...

I picked up a nice little tank droid, filled my toolbar with traps and flung away. Took me like 90 minutes to get Trapping 4.
Now if I can just get that damn Survival XP.....

Well, I had a hard time trying to find the right creatures that my traps would land still get significant xp. You know what I found?? 
The borgle cave on Rori. Get a buff and see your hits get 125 xp per trap. And also since you're not at trapping 3 yet, you can make 2-3 different kinds of traps, so you throw at least 3 traps at one creature for a bit. In the borgle cave, it's easy to find 3 creatures attacking you at once and you can just about throw constantly. Trapping 3 will happen in NO TIME. Then you can make those wire meshes and glow juice. I just got trapping 3 this morning doing this very thing.
Happy Hunting!
