Trapping level?

[NotReally]

Is there any benefit of having it high level?

It allows you to build bigger and better traps I think.

New traps upto a point

Better chances to catch something and keep it trapped

Not a big trapper myself, so, cant say if it really makes a difference

Ahh, that would be great if it did work like that cause there is not much information about it online.

Did you add bait and did you add correct bait?

[DISS†URBFACEZ]

yes i added cabbage inside.

you gotta check them each morning, you only gain skill when you catch something, zombies will eat your catch, and the trap may fail(higher chance the lower the skill) making it a real pain to level. best bet is to make sure you watch life and living and get some early lvls in it that way,also you gotta be at least 75 tile away from it at all times unless you want to check it

gonna put them deeper in the forest then. Maybe Zombies destroy them.

Some tips:
- You need to be at least 75 tiles away from your traps
- Some Bait is better than other for a trap/animal (see wiki for more details)
- Stick Tap is one of the easiest to make work and worms are pretty much unlimited resource
- Read up on skill books and watch Life and Living show for trapping to get to lvl 3 - if you time it right

According to the following code if we have higher trapping skills, the probability of catching something increases by about 15% at max. OR/Also increases the chance to catch a rarer animal according to the chart of what can be catched. Yeah, trapping is blurry but what is sure that it currently does something on every level.
