==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 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 (800 + (10 * (Tinkering Skill - 80))) 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|Mastery Chain Links]], [[Aspect Mastery|Aspects]], Codexes, and other mechanics

! Example
|- style="vertical-align: bottom;"
| 
* A player has 120 Tinkering Skill and places a Ground Trap
* The Trap's Base Damage is (800 + (10 * (120 - 80))) = 1200 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 (1200 * 80%) = 960 Base Damage
* Each creature hit will immediately take (33% * 960) = 320 Damage
* Each creature hit will then take (66% * 960) = 640 Damage spread out over 9 seconds (i.e. 213 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
