− | '''Traps''' consist of one '''weapon''' plus one '''base'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | Along with [[cheese]], traps are absolutely essential for catching [[mice]]. (In fact, unlike cheese that can run out, it is impossible to '''not''' have a trap.) The term ''trap'' is sometimes used interchangeably with ''weapon'', although in the strictest sense that is not correct.
| |
− |
| |
− | 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.
| |
− |
| |
− | Traps are available at all [[Trapsmiths]] and occasionally at [[Ronza's Traveling Shoppe]]. Every beginning 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.
