Shyrr,

I've used pretty much every trap in my quests to the destroy the wild Fambaa's on Theed.

Adhesive mesh works fairly well, especially against slow moving animals like Fambaas, Tortons on Rori, and the elephant guys whose correct name I've forgotten on Lok.

I use all of my traps in compliment - I've got my F5-F12 quickbar lined with traps, so thatI can ripple them off quickly - and adhesive mesh is always #1 followed by noise maker at #2.

It works great on tougher prey like Mountain Worrts and Dewbacks, and even Squills. I think I have successfully used it on banthas. The largest creatures are usually trap resistent, at least at my scout trapping 4 level.

Hi All,

I posted this as part of another post. All of my other questions got answered (Thanks everyone!) but this one was past over so I'll ask it in its own thread.

Has anyone tried to use adhesive mesh traps on large, red creatures like Banthas or Humbabas?

If so, what was your experience. I'm going to give it a shot soon on my own, but if someone has already tried it and found it to be a bad idea I'd rather know now!

I used it with a Rogue Bagaraset and it worked nicely. That followed by two other traps (spur, and aPhen dart) worked out to be a nice combo. It really slowed it down alot

Not only do they work (and work well) on larger creatures, they work well on harder ones. I went on a huntin trip to Yavin 4 and used them on some crystal snakes and those spider things. The day i got traping 4 I earned 13k trapping xp on yavin, no idea how but at 200-400 xp per trap its nice and fast.

Thanks everyone. This really helps. I'm going to try on a Rogue Bageraset (sp?) tonight if the servers are up. That coupled with a P. Dart and a health shot DOT aughta be devastating! Soon I'll have Rifle Spec and will be able to add a mind shot DOT to the mix depending on where the creature is weakest.

It's nice to see the two disciplines (Scout and Marskman) compliment each other so well finally.

You can definitely trap humbabas with mesh, they'll stay put for a good 3 or 4 ques each time (sorry dont know in seconds, for me everything is # of headshots). The really big ones like the Torturs or Tortur bulls only stop for about a couple seconds before resuming the charge to turn you into goo. I havent tried savage humbabas yet so I don't know, same for greater sludge. I have a feeling that one will find me back in town in a hurry, so I havent felt like giving it a go yet.

Seth,

Trapping XP is the easiest to get. Good luck - you'll get a lot of XP fast following the tips everyone put up here.

My friend and I found a herd of Fambaa's on Naboo, and proceeded to kill them all over an hour period. 5 Fambaas - andI was making a set of 8 traps for each one. I proceeded from the bottom of Ranger trapping 3 to the middle of ranger trapping 4 (right around the cap for training). Gotta love slow moving creatures that give 400 XP per trap!

To me Banthas already seemed slow enough, I just throw a glow wire cause i use ranged weapons
