on naboo, find a lair of kaduu's,

the way i did this worked great for me,

for safety i hit up with a neutron pixie, you can if you wish, i just had to stop and heal less often, but anyways

i hit the kaduu of my choice with both health shots (pistol skils)

then i hit them with every trap i had. the males yeild 125 trap xp per trap, the females 101, i didn't even bother with the babies. i could generally get 5 traps on one before they died from the bleeding. which is about 625xp per kaduu, and they spawned so quickly that by the time i had finished off the second one a replacement was waiting for me

all in all it took about 15-20 min to get trapping 3

i also came out with some nice hides and bones which i made traps with. also made about 9k pistol xp (can't wait to hit bh)

Sai,

That's a good tip.

Thanks for posting it.

I got some good trap XP the other night, although you have to find the right conditions for this to work.

Find a group (if possible a lair) of critters that are challenging for you (low-level red cons) that don'tswarm.Make sure the groupis near a group of different critters that will attack them. One at a time, lure your targets away from their lair and into the group of your "helpers" (sometimes faction NPCs work well too). The other critters will bog down your big target. Then you can sit back and lob traps at your convenience. On Corellia, I've had luck using Gurrcats as my "helpers". They aren't aggro, so you can run right through them, but they are a pack MOB, so they whole group will swarm your target and tie it up good. I've heard of rebel players using groups of rebel NPCs that they find in the wild.

This is also a good way to get scout XP, because you after your target dies, you can go harvest it. Rinse and repeat with all the MOBs in your target group.

Bols on dantooine cough up over 300 a pop. Fewer traps, less crafting, quicker result.

I managed to get from trapping 2 to 4 in about 40 minutes. The secret? Dewbacks and rock beetles. Whenever you find one of their lairs, there´s bound the be one of the other around. What you do is, shoot the dewback family once, then run over to the rock beetles. They'll aggro eachother, thus leaving you clear to throw every trap you have at the dews. Result? More than 200xp per trap.

hmm i tried trapping pikets on dantooine. I don't even have trapping 1 yet but only 1 in like 15 traps would work. It made killing them a complete waste of time. What does the success rate of trapping depend on?

I've tried a couple of these methods and they all seem to work. The one I liked the best was that I went to Kaadra, and head a little South east to find some Bolle Bols, near a Rebel NPC camp, and my friend (medic) and I proceeded to let the NPC's shoot the bolle bols while I lobbed traps at them. The failure rate seemed higher on these with the lower end traps, but the one's that hit were like 320 XP a hit. I managed to get about 900 to a little over 1K XP per Bolle Bol before they were dead and leveled to Trapping III in less than 20 minutes. Unfortunately my friend needed to log, so It was hard for me to proceed any further without getting killed.

The other thing I find is that if you take on a Blue Con, with no weapons Unarmed (does not apply to TKA's) You get like 50 per trap. Means you get to make lot's of traps, but you do get a higher success rate which can mean you get about the same XP per mob as the white cons, based on Success rate.

my trick is go to Endor or someplace hard ....find 2 things attacking each other (lots of angry things on endor...so i see this a lot ) ...and throw away ....some things net near 1k xp ...WEE !
