if you hit with the trap... the tougher the mob the less likely you are to hit when you have low skill/low level traps.

make all 4-6 traps
take a low lvl mission
u get 50 xp pr trap on 1 mob so thats 4 x 50 or if u have box 2 trapping thats 6 traps 50x6= are 300 xp pr mob
works fine to trapping 3

Make crates and crates of traps (in a factory, trust me, drop 20k on one, it's worth it), get buffed, take vynock missions, unequip any weapon or you kill them too fast and just stand there and sling wire mesh or glow juice traps at the things for 70-80xp a time, I got through all of trapping in about half an hour.
When you get up to trapping IV, you'll be able to trap bigger things more often, so you can get a lot more xp per trap if you need to master ranger.

I don't know about who you hang out with or how strong they and you are. But My friend went with 4 others, one of which had to maxed out Grauls (pre nerf) and we would go to lok and fight gurks and snorbals all day just because they would fight the 9999'ers and he could just trapp allday. Don't know about much he got but I know he got those 23 of the slots down after about 3 runs. (that would have been 24 missions.)

I gotin the habit early on of throwing at least one trap at every mob I was fighting...the trapping exp will add up quite fast. You can throw more than 1 type of trap too, which adds up to even more exp per mob.

Certain traps can be continuously thrown to reset the timers on the mob's states - wire mesh traps and glow juice traps can be thrown non-stop.

Trapping's easy when you have a high level combat profession. just make 4-6 different traps in abundance, get a mission for a high level creature you know you can take out. GO up to it, pop off the 4-6 traps in a row & then slay it. Repeat. I was pulling 150+ XP per trap (900+ per creature)against some creatures. 5 creatures ina layer, BAM! 4500 XP...

Yeah, group up with a hunting party and toss glow-traps. You can craft them fast, their cheap. Interestingly at least in my experience you get the same XP no matter how complex the trap you use (and you get nothing for making it). Glow-traps are in the 2nd teir I think. In groups of 5. Great thing about them is you can toss trap, after trap, and keep getting XP from them while your hunting group takes things out. Just keep doing this, 100-900 xp per trap depending. You can get all the way up trapping in a night if you do it right.

I posted on another thread about this but here goes. I would find a dathomir hunting party and get enraged rancor missions. They are about 36k credits and not even that hard to kill. I get a friend to tank the rancor with buffs and some 70%+ ubese armor while I throw 2-3 crates of wire-mesh traps. I got trapping 1-4 in ranger in less than an hour. 1584 experience per throw and per Harvest. Not to mention some nice money in the process. You will need atleast 10 people in your group I have found though to get these missions or high lvl pets.

Heh, I keep doing that.
I was just lobbing traps at Sharnaffs today for 525xp a pop, made a bunch of crates in the ol' factory (that's old factory, not anything nasal) and am now halfway through Trapping IV in ranger, done in no time.
