Talk:Hapless Mouse

Best trap?

I see that the tactical type of trap has been listed as the best choice for the Hapless, but I don't think it matters what type you use (well, physical vs. tactical, anyway; don't know about shadow) as none of my Hapless catches with a tactical trap have had the "Your weapon was especially bodacious" or whatever the message is. Here's a sample from a friend hunting in the Pinnacle Room trying to get the Ambush blueprints today with the ZLM:

4:59pm
I sounded the Hunter’s Horn.
I was successful in my hunt! I caught a 3 oz. Hapless mouse from the Pinnacle Chamber worth 48 points and 73 gold.

4:43pm
I sounded the Hunter’s Horn.
I was successful in my hunt! I caught a 3 oz. Hapless mouse from the Pinnacle Chamber worth 48 points and 73 gold.

4:27pm
I sounded the Hunter’s Horn.
I was successful in my hunt! I caught a 4 oz. Hapless mouse from the Pinnacle Chamber worth 47 points and 74 gold.

The mouse also dropped the following loot:
1 ambush trap blueprints.

No mention of efficacy one way or the other. I'd be glad to be proven wrong, but I think you could take out a Hapless with a stiff breeze, let alone a particular type of weapon. ;-) -- B.Rossow ^talk_contr 04:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Strangely enough...

1:02am tomorrow XXX sounded the Hunter’s Horn. I was successful in my hunt! I caught a 3 oz. Hapless mouse from the Dojo worth 48 points and 73 gold.

My weapon was very effective against this mouse.

I was using Ambush.
