Trapmaking

[Coldin]

From the amount that Bunks repeater used to proc I would say that the rate is about the same as a lightning strike going off. And it certainly went off more than once/rest.

Ah, but did he get soul gems from it?

I remember him pulling something like 15-20 from one quest. The problem with it on a repeater is that they fall where the mob dies. Ninja looters everywhere man, they're everywhere.

[Artagon]

Still no damage numbers yet?

[Coldin]

Let's see. Don't have the exact numbers on me. A weak acid flask was about 1d6.

A weak acid trap was about like 20-80 damage.

Second Test

Gwylan's Stand

Since i m Premium i can't go further (my packs are not open in Lamania)

[Arovin]

I don't thinking you know how right you are...

It looks like Rogue Mechanics now add Int to crossbow damage.

Yeah, I saw that thread thats why I brought it up.

Plus Mechanics get the Reapter feats for free.

Not very good with uploading pics (i ll posts screenshots when i get how to)

So now i'll give you what i have found

For 25 mechs parts you have:

Noise maker


For 10 Frost parts and 10 crude vials you have:

10 weak Alchemist's Frost Grenade
Required Rogue (UMD 10)
Att: Dex
2D6 Frost DMG

and the best
For 10 Frost Parts and 10 Mechs Parts

5 Weak Frost Mines
10d6 (omg) Frost DMG when triggered
Save difficulty based on the DD skill of the person who set the Traps


That's all for tonight Folks

I'm assuming grenades are thrown, so those will be equipable.

But are mines and spelltraps "placeable"? So I can just place them and move on or are they kinda like "castable or wandlike" effects?

[Symar-FangofLloth]

10d6 for the weak? Well, that's not bad .

[Coldin]

Just made a small acid trap. (The upgrade from the weak acid trap). It deals 15d6 acid damage. Took 25 mechanical parts, 25 acid parts, and 10 fragments.

[Seventh]

10d6 sounds pretty friggin good for what seems like a low to mid level trap. But is it worth going mechanic to improve them or are you fine as an assassin?

I really have no idea. Trapmaking seems like an expensive endeavor, and I have no clue how powerful the traps I'm setting are. It says the DCs are based off the disable device skill, but I don't know if that means it is the DD skill, or some number derived from it. And I don't know what mechanic really changes.

You can't make poison traps?


Btw, you find any magical trap parts? I'm not even sure where to go looking for those.

[Jay203]

this is what i got from the trap guides..

Grenades:
10 Scavenged fire parts + 10 crude vials = 10 fire flasks (weak)

25 Scavenged parts + 10 siberys dragonshard fragments + 10 crude vials = intermediate grenades

50 fire trap parts + 1 weak fire elemental soul gem + 50 sibery fragments + 10 simple vials

70 fire trap parts + 100 sibery fragments + normal elemental gem + 10 simple vials

100 trap parts + 250 siberys fragments + strong soulgem + unadorned vials


Mines:
25 trap parts = noisemaker

swap out vials with mechanical parts in grenade recipes for mines

Spell traps:
first lvl spells
10 magical parts + 10 mechanical parts + 10 scrolls = 5 traps

[ghortagg]

as far as i know, i haven't seen any magic parts trap.

But since i m premium, i haven't got acces to all the quest i normally do, maybe in the packs there is some.

*Holds his hand next to his ear and listens.* Hm, I think I hear craft (alchemy) coming soon.

[Jay203]

the bookbinder's rescue is a quick and easy quest to do for mechanical traps
they're all bunched up in the main hallway <3
and you don't really need to finish the quest either

[Ayseifn]

So how do they actually get used/function, guessing the grenades are just thrown weapon but what of the spell traps and mines? Do the mines use the disable device animation, can mines be stacked, do spell traps use the casting animation, do spell traps behave like symbols spells, etc.?
