Unlike other resources, Trap Tools aren't found in the wild. They are exclusively purchased from the Provisions Stockpiler NPC located at your Base Camp.
Each Trap Tool costs 200 Zenny. It's recommended to buy several, particularly for farming specific monsters or completing a monster capture collection.
Utilizing Trap Tools Effectively
Once acquired, Trap Tools are combined with other items to create traps:
- Pitfall Trap: Combine Trap Tools with a Net (and either Spiderweb or Ivy).
- Shock Trap: Combine Trap Tools with a Thunderbug Capacitor.
Remember that monster types have trap immunities. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon. Choose the appropriate trap accordingly. Also note that only one trap can be carried at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is vulnerable.
