I posted this on GameFaqs and wanna post it here to:

Getting ur trapping is a *****, but ive found a good tactic to use. Make sure u have warning shot ready. Goand find a bull ronto on Tatooine and get within 30M and throw a trap. You should have enough time to throw another, then start running. Do a warning shot and hit "peace" ove and over. He will eventually end combat and then rinse and repeat.

If you already know this GOOD FOR U, but for those that dont know it, this helped me getting Trapping 1-3 in about an hour.

if u can find one of the bugged creatures that goes really slow they provide good trapping xp

Stat,

Not any more. Dem bugs been squished!

As of last night, I was still able to ourrun Banthas without using burst. They work good for Trapping too.

Yeah, I like soloing the Rogue Banthas and trapping them up like crazy. Maybe not as impressive to the really good players soloing the uber-creatures, but at my level I thought it was pretty cool.

Xy,

With an edit function, we'd have no monkey making opportunities! Look at all the joy I've brought while getting used to my new ergnomic keyboard!

see my sig..

i loved that one...

you sir, are immortallized.

Oh, well, I dunno about the early trap levels, but when I got III, I'd snare a critter with Phecnacine dart, then let it have it with as many traps as I could, resnare it and repeat. It's handy that things don't aggro on an initial missed trap.

"Uhh..where am I again?"

Crazed Durni on Corellia. You only get about 80 per trap but they are SLOW. I got trapping II and III in maybe an hour, even less I think. Load up a few toolbars and just run around with one durnitossing them at it.

Just to clarify, before anyone freaks out. There are critters that inentionally run slower than a PC. Bantha's being a prime example. The "bugged" critters that ran too slow were all cat type critters, all of whom mention their quickness in the critter description. Only instead of being quick they ran slower than a PC walks. So you can use this tactic (slow critter and the stackable traps) to rack up trap exp and not be worried that you're exploiting.

Intentionally! Lack of edit = bad. =(

Thanks for the tip StealthMoe. I used Bull Ronto's to work my trapping andyourtipworked like a champ (though I was throwing from the max range which seems to be at 50m).Warning shot made helped a ton until I hitTrapping 3, and then didn't even bother with it. You can lead with the Phenawhatever darts and then just pile the traps on for 221 per hit.Run for 20 seconds after the snare breaks and do it again until your action bar gets too low. Good times.

Send out an uber tank pet and then spam traps........as long as mobs are around white con you should be golden. (Red mobs i cannot land a trap on so far)
