Traps

Summary

• Tinkering is required to craft these Traps
• There are two types of Traps: Container and Ground Traps
  • Container Traps only work in PvP
  • Ground Traps only work in PvM

Container Traps

Trap Placement

• Players must have 100 Tinkering Skill or higher to create a Container Trap
• Container Traps will now always be considered Explosive Traps (can no longer do other types)
• Players can create a Container Trap by double-clicking a Trap Wire in their backpack and then targeting the desired container
• Successful placement of a Container Trap will consume 1 Trap Wire and 1 Greater Explosion Potion from the player's backpack

Ground Traps

• Ground Traps are a physical item that can be crafted using the Tinkering skill under the Traps category
• Ground Traps are always considered to be Explosive Traps (there are no longer 8 different types of traps)
• Ground Traps are stackable and are consumed upon successful placement

Trap Placement

• Players must have 80 Tinkering Skill or higher and 80 Detecting Hidden Skill or higher to place a Ground Trap
• Players can place a Ground Trap at their current location by double-clicking it in their backpack
• Players may also type [PlaceTrap to place a Ground Trap at their current location
• Ground Traps take 3 seconds to place, and will Hinder the player during placement
• The Ground Trap will be consumed upon successful placement

Trap Mechanics

• When placed, Ground Traps will remain for up to 5 minutes, unless they are detonated
• Players may only have 1 Ground Trap placed in the world at a time
• If a player attempts to place an additional Ground Trap, it will remove their previous Ground Trap from its location
• Players can only see their own Ground Traps (they cannot see traps belonging to other players)
• There is no restriction on placement location of Ground Traps relative to other player's Ground Traps
• Ground Traps have a default Radius of 2
• The Center of the Trap is depicted by the center Ground Trap Marker
• The Radius of the Trap is depicted by surrounding Purple Radius Markers

Trap Recovery

• Players can recover a placed Ground Trap by shift-clicking the center Ground Trap Marker and selecting "Deactivate This Item"

Trap Detonation

• In order to Detonate a Trap, players must have a Trap Detonator in their Backpack and be within 8 tiles of the center Ground Trap Marker
• Players can Detonate their Ground Trap by double-clicking a Trap Detonator in their backpack
• Players can also Detonate their Ground Trap by double-clicking any of its Purple Radius Markers
• Players can also Detonate their Ground Trap by typing [DetonateTrap

Trap Cooldown

• Once a player has detonated a Ground Trap, they must wait for a Trap Cooldown duration to pass before they may detonate another Ground Trap
• Players have a Trap Cooldown of (30 - (0.25 *(Detect Hidden Skill - 80))) seconds
• Players can place a new Ground Trap while they have a Trap Cooldown in effect (they just cannot detonate it)
• Players will receive a system message informing them when they are able to detonate another Ground Trap
• Players can also single-click a Trap Detonator to see how much time remains before they can detonate another Ground Trap

Trap Max Targets

• When a Ground Trap detonates, it will hit a number of Creatures within its Radius value up to the Trap's Max Targets number
• Ground Traps have a default Max Targets of 5
• If the number of available targets exceeds the Trap's Max Targets number, it will prioritize hitting creatures with the lowest remaining Hit Points

Trap Damage

• When Ground Traps are detonated, they will have a Base Damage of (1200 + (15 * (Tinkering Skill - 80))) Damage
• Players will receive a (25% * (Effective Alchemy Skill)) bonus to Traps Damage
• If more than one creature is hit by the trap, the Base Damage of the trap will be reduced by (10% * (Targets Hit - 1))
• Each creature hit will immediately take 33% of the Base Damage of the trap
• Each creature hit will then also take 66% of the Base Damage of the trap spread out over 9 seconds (in 3 second tick intervals)
• Players will be able to substantially increase the damage of their Ground Traps with additional resources such as Mastery Chain Links, Aspects, Codexes, and other mechanics

Example

A player has 120 Tinkering Skill and places a Ground Trap The Trap's Base Damage is (1200 + (15 * (120 - 80))) = 1800 Damage The Trap will hit 3 creatures, resulting in a (10% * (3 - 1)) = 20% reduction to Base Damage The Trap's adjusted Base Damage is (1800 * 80%) = 1440 Base Damage Each creature hit will immediately take (33% * 1440) = 480 Damage Each creature hit will then take (66% * 1440) = 960 Damage spread out over 9 seconds (i.e. 320 damage per tick every 3 seconds)

Trap Kit

• Trap Kits are a Blessed items that players can use to improve their Ground Traps (effectively a "Trap Codex")
• Trap Kits can be crafted with the Tinkering skill under the Traps category
• Trap Kits require 80 Tinkering and 80 Detecting Hidden to use
• Players will earn Experience towards their Trap Kit when killing Monsters
• By accumulating experience, players unlock up to a maximum of 20 Points to spend on Upgrades within the kit
• Upgrades will only affect Ground Traps, and not any Container Traps
• Players can Reset their Spent Points for a Trap Kit if they have no Ground Trap currently placed and have no Trap Cooldown in place
