What is the DC on the mines and grenades that can be made?

DDO Wiki lists DC's for grenades that run from 12 to 28. DC's for mines apparently depend on your Disable Device skill - but those calculations look out of date to me, as they refer to the old Mechanic I and II enhancements. Hopefully you can find some up-to date entries in Coldin's Trapmaking Guide

The DC's of mines are also affected by enhancements which can increase the percentage of your DD that applies.

Sadly nothing new there.

This would make my traps a DC of 105. That does not seem right either.

What I'm trying to find is the formula I guess.

Wow. You must have a very high DD.

The Mechanic tier 2 enhancement "improved traps" states that

Elemental Traps that you place now have a DC equal to 65%/80%/100% of your Disable Device Skill instead of 50%.

That's the closest to a "formula" that I can find. So base DC is half your DD, but can be improved with this enhancement.

I believe magical traps still just have the DC of the scroll you use to make them, which means they are completely useless.
