Overview

A trap consists of two compulsory elements – one weapon plus one base. Charms, which enhance certain features of a trap, can optionally be armed by hunters ranked Journeyman and above.

Charms were invented by Moustachio the Charmer and introduced during Ronza's January 2011 visit. Charms are optional but helpful additions to trap setups, adding unique boosts that can tweak a trap's effectiveness in a given region or even against a specific mouse. Unlike weapons and bases, charms are consumable; each charm has its own unique properties, but most are consumed upon encountering a mouse.

Obtaining Charms

Charms can be obtained in the following ways (not all charms are available via all methods):

Using Charms

Hunters must reach the rank of Journeyman and gain access to the Mountain location to be able to purchase the Pine Charm Conduit. The Pine Charm Conduit gives players the ability to arm charms. If Hunters do not own a Pine Charm Conduit, they will not be able to arm a charm. Pine Charm Conduits cannot be refunded once purchased.

Hunters will need to possess a Null Gauntlet to purchase and arm the various Rift Charms and take advantage of the Riftwalker Set bonus. Hunters must reach the rank of Duke/Duchess and gain access to the Burroughs Rift location to be able to hunt The Menace of the Rift mouse and loot a Null Gauntlet.

Item Price Source
Pine Charm Conduit 3,000 gold Mountain Charm Shoppe
Null Gauntlet N/A Loot from The Menace of the Rift

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

A charm can be disarmed by clicking on the icon of the charm to bring up the charm selector page. Click on another charm to switch charms or to the currently equipped charm to disable the use of charms.

Charm stats

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. Luck also increases the chance of a mouse dropping loot when caught.
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 charms have special effects when used in certain locations, when paired with specific weapons and/or bases, or against specific mice or mouse groups.
