Sticks (trap)
The Stick trap is a lightweight, easily constructed trapping mechanism used primarily in the Hunter skill for catching smaller creatures, particularly birds.
To set a Stick trap, players must first gather the necessary materials. A player needs a hammer and a set of logs, which can be obtained through woodcutting or purchasing from various vendors. Once the materials are collected, players can proceed to set up the trap in areas where small game such as birds are likely to roam.
To lay out a Stick trap, a player must find an appropriate location, typically near the ground, and click on the logs to configure them into the trap. The process is straightforward: the player hammers the logs into the ground in a designated pattern that forms the trap. Once set, the Stick trap will attract birds and other small animals within its vicinity.
Upon successfully capturing a creature, the player will receive a notification indicating that a catch has been made. The type of creatures attracted to the Stick trap generally includes sparrows, squirrels, and other small animals. After capturing a creature, players can collect the catch, which can be used for training or as materials for other crafting recipes.
Stick traps are an essential tool for hunters, providing an efficient way to gain experience and collect resources. They can be used in conjunction with other traps, enabling players to maximize their capture rate in the wilds. As players advance in the Hunter skill, they may find the need to switch to more advanced traps, but the Stick trap remains a fundamental part of any hunter’s toolkit for catching small game.
Once the player has finished using the trap, they can dismantle it to recover some materials or simply leave it as is to decompose over time.
Overall, the Stick trap is effective and easy to manage, perfect for both novice and experienced hunters looking to enhance their hunting experience in the vivid landscapes of Gielinor.
