Equal Opportunity Trapmaking

[kuscotopia]

My character Lagnar has been investing points into craft: trapmaking and I have wandered the server more a few months now and only recently (at level 8) was I able to obtain my first trapmaking mold.

Now, if this had been due to my ignorance of vendors I think this would be fine. But, after 2 hours of searching Sundren he discovered, courtesy of a devious little hin calling himself Jake, that trap making molds are only available to members of a certain devious faction. Why is this?

I suggest that trap making molds be made accessible to rangers and rogues of all walks, as we have access to the abilities to utilize such devices and I for one would like to make use of my character's investment in trapmaking without having to dump money into an evil faction that I would not IC support.

Thanks.

here here! trapin is not an evil action in it self. devious and cunning but not evil and so should NOT be the sole property of ONE evil faction...

Isn't there also the option to "recover" a trap that's been set by the game?

[kuscotopia]

Yep, you can do that. But, I am looking to make my own.

I told you I will sell you all the trap molds you heart needs.

[kuscotopia]

Aye, I know I can get them from players allied with the particular faction. The suggestion is that there be a merchant accessible by ranger and rogues of all walks that sells trapmaking molds.

I think there is more than one faction that sells the Trap Molds.

Do you think or do you know? lol I have been a lot of places..and granted I don't know much about factions...but it isn't this hard for a weaponsmith to get a mold...so why is it this hard for a trapsmith?

Recently I included an NPC accessible to anyone (anyone who isn't hostile to the Legion anyway), who sells infinite amounts of trap kits. However, you'll have to go to Arbiter's Stand to find her...

And for the record, recovered traps from automatic spawns can't be set again. It wasn't initially intended that way, but Saulus and I decided that we'd like to keep it like that regardless

Traps you pick up from the goblin caves can be reset and all the others I have picked up from diffrent places can be re-placed.

Trapper Jinx does not talk to anyone. Not sure if this is a bug and may need to be posted there.

I have been to Arbiter's and went again last night to verify. There is a dwarven lady labeled as a trapper, but there is no conversation (or store for that matter) that gets displayed when I try and talk to her. I checked all the other merchants in Arbiter's and no one else carries trap molds.

Jinx has been a bit sour and unwilling to talk to all those annoying adventurers, but the next time the server is updated she might have a mood swing.

[kuscotopia]

Haha, fair enough. Thanks.
