'''Traps''' consist of one [[weapon]] plus one [[base]].
+
==Overview==
 +
The Hunter's '''Trap''' consists of several components:
 +
*[[Weapon]]: The part of the trap that (with very few exceptions) determines the [[Power Type]] of the '''Trap'''.
 +
:*It is not possible to hunt without a '''weapon'''.
 +
:*Many '''weapons''' can have their appearance changed through the application of trap [[Skins]].
 +
*[[Base]]: The part of the trap that holds the weapon and bait.
 +
:*It is not possible to hunt without a '''base'''.
 +
*[[Bait]]: Also called [[cheese]], this is the part of the trap that brings the mice to the Hunter.
 +
:*The type of '''bait''' used often determines the mice the Hunter will encounter.
 +
:*It is not possible to hunt without '''bait'''.
 +
*[[Charm]]: An optional trinket that can be added to the trap setup to change various trap attributes.
 +
:*'''Charms''' can affect trap statistics, the type of loot found, and the type of mice encountered.
  
−
Along with [[cheese]], traps are absolutely essential for catching [[mice]]. (In fact, unlike cheese that can run out, it is impossible '''not''' to have a trap.) The term ''trap'' is sometimes used interchangeably with ''weapon'', although in the strictest sense that is not correct.
+
A hunter's '''weapons''', '''bases''' and '''charms''' appear in the [{{MHdomain}}/inventory.php?tab=traps Traps] [[Inventory]] tab. A hunter can select which trap component is armed from the inventory page, from the primary [[Camp]] page, and also from a [[Trapsmith]] / [[Charm Shoppe]] just after purchasing a trap component. Additionally, each [[Hunter's Profile]] includes a status of how many trap components a hunter owns, split into lists of weapons and bases (charms are not displayed here) on the [{{MHdomain}}/profile.php?tab=items Items] tab.
  
−
The weapon is the part of the trap that does the actual catching of the mice and is arguably the much more important part of the trap as it contributes the majority of the power to the setup. The base is the part upon which the trap rests and which holds the cheese.  Each part of the trap, weapon and base, has its own characteristics (described below) that will affect a hunter's success when used in certain areas, against certain mice, and so on, and it is not always the most powerful combination that is most appropriate in every situation. All factors must be taken into consideration to design a trap that meets the individual hunter's goals.
+
A hunter's '''baits''' appear in the [{{MHdomain}}/inventory.php?tab=cheese Cheese] [[Inventory]] tab. A hunter can select which cheese is armed from the inventory page, from the primary [[Camp]] page, and also from a [[Cheese Shoppe]] just after purchasing a trap component.  
  
−
Traps are available at all [[Trapsmiths]]. Every new hunter is given a choice between one of two weapons ([[Tacky Glue Trap]] or [[High Tension Spring]]) plus a [[Wooden Base]]. As hunters capture more mice and get more gold and experience, they can (and should) upgrade their traps with better components to increase their success in catching more powerful mice.
+
===Trap stats===
 +
There are a number of factors that contribute to a trap setup's effectiveness when hunting.
  
−
A hunter's weapons and bases appear in the [http://{{MHdomain}}/inventory.php?tab=1 Traps] [[Inventory]] tab. A hunter can select which trap component is armed from the inventory page, from the primary Camp page, and also from a Trapsmith just after purchasing a trap component.  Additionally, each [[Hunter's Profile]] includes a status of how many trap components a hunter owns, split into lists of weapons and bases on the [http://{{MHdomain}}/profile.php?tab=3 Items] tab.

*[[Luck]]
 
*[[Luck]]
−
:Some components are designed to offer small chances of catching a mouse regardless of the mouse’s strength. It is not uncommon for lucky traps to grant hunters the ability to catch mice that seem far too powerful for their trap. Luck also increases the chance of a mouse dropping loot when caught.

*[[Cheese Effect]]
 
*[[Cheese Effect]]
 
:Any time a mouse is not attracted to a trap during a hunt there is a chance for the cheese to turn stale. Some components are built using harmful chemicals that increase the odds of spoiling bait. Traps with a fresh cheese effect help reduce the likelihood of cheese turning stale.

:Many traps have special effects when used in certain locations, when specific [[weapons]], [[bases]], [[bait]], and/or [[Charm|charms]] are combined, or against specific mice or [[Mouse Group|mouse groups]].

Overview

The Hunter's Trap consists of several components:

  • Weapon: The part of the trap that (with very few exceptions) determines the Power Type of the Trap.
  • It is not possible to hunt without a weapon.
  • Many weapons can have their appearance changed through the application of trap Skins.
  • Base: The part of the trap that holds the weapon and bait.
  • It is not possible to hunt without a base.
  • Bait: Also called cheese, this is the part of the trap that brings the mice to the Hunter.
  • The type of bait used often determines the mice the Hunter will encounter.
  • It is not possible to hunt without bait.
  • Charm: An optional trinket that can be added to the trap setup to change various trap attributes.
  • Charms can affect trap statistics, the type of loot found, and the type of mice encountered.

A hunter's weapons, bases and charms appear in the Traps Inventory tab. A hunter can select which trap component is armed from the inventory page, from the primary Camp page, and also from a Trapsmith / Charm Shoppe just after purchasing a trap component. Additionally, each Hunter's Profile includes a status of how many trap components a hunter owns, split into lists of weapons and bases (charms are not displayed here) on the Items tab.

A hunter's baits appear in the Cheese Inventory tab. A hunter can select which cheese is armed from the inventory page, from the primary Camp page, and also from a Cheese Shoppe just after purchasing a trap component.

Trap stats

There are a number of factors that contribute to a trap setup's effectiveness when hunting.

The overall strength of the component. Traps with higher power are more likely to catch mice.
Mice have specific weaknesses to certain Power Types. Using the appropriate weapon in the appropriate area is a critical part of any hunter’s strategy.
The power bonus of both weapon and base are added together and then applied to the total power of the trap, increasing its power.
The attraction bonus boosts the attraction power of the bait being used increasing the odds of a mouse approaching a hunter’s trap.
Some components are designed to offer small chances of catching a mouse regardless of the mouse’s strength. It is not uncommon for lucky traps to grant hunters the ability to catch mice that seem far too powerful for their trap.
Any time a mouse is not attracted to a trap during a hunt there is a chance for the cheese to turn stale. Some components are built using harmful chemicals that increase the odds of spoiling bait. Traps with a fresh cheese effect help reduce the likelihood of cheese turning stale.
  • Special Effects
Many traps have special effects when used in certain locations, when specific weapons, bases, bait, and/or charms are combined, or against specific mice or mouse groups.
