"Vacation is not a verb, moron."

ok thx a lot. if u got nothing to say or u do but u think its stupid dont say it.

I would not think it possible to bridge that gap in such a short amount of time.

The largest amount of trapping XP i've gotten so far was 237 or so for hitting a Tusken bantha with a noise maker. Basically the bigger and badder the creature the more XP you get, trapping or otherwise.

If you go to Lok, and throw traps at a Kimogila maybe. Although it seems the tougher the creatures the more you fail too. I really don't think it's possible. Why on earth would you want trapping to be that easy anyway? The last thing I want is for someone to be able to advance to master scout in a day.

Traps don't effect kimo's. The most Exp I ever got was a little over 500 for Elder snorbels. That took me from lvl 3 to lvl 4 real quick.

While we are on the subject. Does anyone know where I can find the skill tree's online while im at work. Or if not.. Can anyone tell me what the lvl 3 trap, the Lecipine trap or whatever its called, does? Thank you

I got 505 trapping experience from a giant dinosaur typebeast on Naboo, it was rampaging through a little player village, so I hit it with a trap and ran. I find that I do that often, hit a tough creature with a snare trap and bolt.If I fail, I usually get another shot, for having maskscent, if both fail I better run fast or else I get INCed. But going from 0 skill to lvl 4 in one day, only possible if you get someone to make you traps that you can use, but are better than the ones you can make, plus you would need lots of hides, bone and metal. Also most creatures can only be trapped a few times, so you better find a lot of these super tough creatures. Go to Lok, or Dantooine and just sit near a settlement, there are plenty of opportunities there. I say try for it, if you get all the trapping skills in one day, good for you. After that we'll see if you can get all the survival skills in one day. When I work on scout and ranger skills, I find it is best to trap and harvest the same creature, because the XP is the same, and 3 skill trees can increase for your work, not just one.

I found a great spot last night! on Tat, I was running to find some mobs and I found a Rill lair and a Gorg layer about 70 meters apart. I made every trap andI could and threw one of each trap on each gorg till there were none.Then I turn around and hit the rills. did the same thing.. I havested the bones from the rills and the hides from the gorgs and it was more then enough to make all the trappsI needed. I threw5 traps at each with 42 points each. Lets say 4/5 hit but you know how it is And I kept doing at back and forth, and as I wiped out one layer the other would respawn. If not I shot it once and they would rush out.. Made a few K XP in about1 hour.. not bad for risk free hunting. And you get Scout/Trapping XP at the same time.. But I agree.. if you can, toss a couple at some banthas but just dont get agro

I have everything in Scout except trapping and survival. well thx guys for helping

why is he stupid for answering your question?

Question was: 3 hours to spend from no Trapping skills to Trapping 4 possible?

Answer: No

He's correct. And that made the rest of your message n/a. Don't flame someone because you don't like the answer. It certainly didn't require further explanation as it wasn't a deep question....

In a perfect set up, I think you could get close.

Basically you would have to premake tons of traps, of every stlye you could. (to start with that would only be 2 styles) then go find yourself a Bantha Herd. (assuming they are still red to you?)Land one of each on a selected bantha and Run away. Wait for the first trap to wear off then reapply one of each style. As you get more comfortable, circle back to the Bantha Herd, and pick up more Bantha's to simultaneously kite/trap forever.

Which would be (num oftrap stlyes) * (num of Bantha kited) * 200+ xp (per every 30 seconds), of course thats only the theortical calculations, since the process of kiting would prevent you from hitting this theoritical perfect maximum. (you have to be within 50 meters to throw a trap. trying to throw 5 traps while a Bantha closes 50 meters is not going to be possible. but you have 30 seconds to work in as many as possible, Run a bit throw one, Run abit throw another, etc...)

don't forget you can't reuse the same trap, on the same bantha until its effects have dissappated from the first trap. But you can use a different trap.

If all that is too much work for you, go find a partner that's chain killing something and offer to glow worm trap for them. (makes them more vunerable to ranged weapons) They get all the combat xp, you get all trapping xp. You could even trap for a stat they are not affecting. E.g. you trap the mobs mind score while they body shot it to death, so that you both get full xp.

Wire traps (or was it lace darts?) at the tuskan banthas during peak hours at the tuskan raider camp near Wayfar. There's usually around 50-100 people there killing tuskans for faction/exp/items. Make as many as your inventory can hold and fillyour hotkey bar with em. Wait until the bantha has been wounded then start tossing. One or the other of those will hit almost every time and they are cheap to make in terms of hide and bones. 270 or so trapping exp each toss.

If you think that it's too easy (devs or otherwise), go there yourself and try it. Don't forget to clone in Wayfar though as you will die or become incapacitated quite a few times being close enough to toss traps on the banthas which are still red to me as a lvl 1 pistoleer, master scout, and lvl 3 creature handler. There's plenty of risk involved so the reward is justified. I lost just about all the clothes off my back early on in my scouting career from being killed as the tuscans like to finish you off once you are incapacitated.

Good luck.

It might be more than 3 hours, but after you get to Trap II it's a good idea to hit Tatooine and the Mountain Worrts. They're the giant frogs that (seem to) only spawn in mountain areas. Well named I suppose..

Anyway, at around 211 XPper trap, throw every trap you have at one while running away. I mean EVERY trap. Set your first row of hotkeys to one trap apiece for as many different kinds that you have (I think it's 5 or 6 at II?). by the time you've thrown one of each, the 1st trap effect will have worn offand theworrt to be affected again. I usually started with the trap that increases the chance of an effect landing.

Warrts are really slow and have trouble with going up hills, so 2-3k XP per frog is feasible. I just made up 2 sets of each trap every time I ran out (and had to rest, they have a ranged attack that eventually wears you down). Once you're out of traps, just burst run or get the worrt stuck behind a rock and set up camp to rebuild your traps.

This works with other mobs too, but the Worrt seems like the slowest, and traps land at a really high rate. I didn't find them until I had Traps II, but it might be the best time to start.
