Box trap

Box traps are items used in the Hunter skill. Similar to bird snaring, box-trapping involves laying the box, waiting for animals to be trapped.

Box-trapping can be started at level 27 Hunter.

After a player sets up a box trap, they will automatically walk one square west to stand next to the trap. However, one may counter this by moving an item in the inventory while setting up the trap. If done correctly, the player will not walk west after setting up the trap.

Laying traps

 * After a certain amount of time, a box trap will collapse, requiring the player to pick it back up, or lay it again.
 * The box trap that you laid has collapsed.
 * Sometimes, the box trap may be triggered, but the animal is not trapped.
 * This trapped has been triggered by something.
 * If the trap is successful, the box trap becomes a Shaking box.
 * It looks like there is something caught inside.
 * Experience is only gained after the player retrieves the trapped animal.

In addition, if a player leaves a shaking box alone for a while, it will collapse. The captured creature will be lost if this happens.

Multiple traps
Box-trapping can be done with multiple traps, the highest being 5 box traps at level 80 Hunter.

It is recommended that players bring multiple box traps with them (perhaps 10-15) while hunting. This is because it is easily possible that they may lose a box trap to a longer random event, or they neglect a trap they set up and another player may steal their box trap.

Baiting or Smoking
Box traps can be baited or smoked, both of which increases the rates of success for catching animals. The bait disappears after each successful trap. Smoking a trap requires level 39 Hunter.

Animals
Certain trapped animals appear in the inventory. Left-clicking the animal will release the trapped animal. Trapped chinchompas are stackable, and can be used as a multi-target ranged weapon.

With the release of the Summoning skill, more animals were made available for box-trapping. Note that only the baby versions of the animals can be caught using box traps.
