hey fellas, i just started getting into trapping ( i dont even have trapping 1 yet), and i have been having a rather difficult time getting my traps to work.

Currently, Im on Lok (eclipse server), and the only traps i have available to me are the 2 starter traps (cant remember the names of them). I made about 30 of the dart traps and tried them ona langlatch (VERY slow creature on Lok). Usually they con yellow or red to me, but everytime i throw a trap, i see it go off, but it says it had no effect.

What am i doing wrong? Can noobie traps only affect noobie creatures? Or am I just one of the unlucky SOBs...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS, Lok is a great place to get all kinds of xp... look for langlatches...

Different creatures have different vulnerabilities. The Lecapnine (?) darts aren't very effective against most things, so you just have to chuck them one after the other until one of them takes.

hmm, didn't know that. So should i use the other starter trap instead? Or just use both on a certain mob and find out which one works best?

I guess what i really want to know is: do other scouts often find that their traps do not work most of the time? Or do they hit a certain percentage of the time? If so, what percentage?

The wire mesh trap tends to work on anything. Try both traps at the same time and double your chances. Your trapping success will improve with your skill.

cool, thanks for the replies...I will try using the other trap tonite...

The wire mesh only allow your target to become open to melee attacks. But they do give you scout exp. Also, scout trapping exp is based on the type of creature you trap. Happy tappin.
