Ability Breakdown & Details

Trapping is a special ability which allows you to debuff and in some cases, also cause damage to wild creatures. Traps do not work against player pets. Traps have a throwing range of up to 50 meters at a rate of 5 seconds between throws. Chance to succeed with the trap varies with the player's trapping modifier. Traps cannot kill, they can only help reduce the capacity of the enemy to fight. They also only work on creatures, not human or alien types. Traps always hit the target however their effect may not always apply to the target. A higher Challenge level mob will be resistant to most low trap level attacks. Using traps costs action pool points. Each trap can be used at one level lower than the skill level its schematic is available, meaning like camping, a scout/ranger may use a trap without actually being able to make the item so long as it meets the minimum skill modifier requirement.

On Trapping Exp, There is a duration timer for the status effects caused from each trap before it wears off. If a player throws a stink bomb trap, as an example, and it inflicts a state on a creature, they can not get exp from another stink bomb trap thrown on that creature until the effect wears off. However, if a player throws another type of trap, such as a wire mesh, they can get exp immediately for this trap. Traps do not stack the same status effect upon itself. Meaning, players cannot use one trap repeatedly to keep the same state applied to a mob such as snares, status effects like stun and roots. The effect must wear off first and then the player can apply another trap to cause a status effect. Damage, from a trap,however, can be continuously done and different status effects can be stacked with one another on the same creature. Trapping experience gained is a fixed amount depending on the CL of the target if a trap is successfully applied, meaning every mob of a certain CL will give the same amount of experience when hit by a trap.

Note: Traps that do damage cannot kill a creature by itself. It can reduce the creature's hitpoints down to at most 1 point where the player must then finish it off.
