Lobster Traps

[Willard]

Ok....Having fun so far, but the lobster trabs are so darn slow.

The wait time is just way toooooo long and it gets booring as heck. I am doing the quest that requires 10 Crusty Lobsters and after 5 frustrating hours of setting and waiting for lobster traps--I have got one crusty lobster. And the loss rate on the traps seems way too high, but they are cheep enough. I hope the reward is worth all the time it is going to take to fill this quest.

I hope the Divs can tweek Lobster Traps, or I see people getting tired of them real fast!

i am making a vid of how to lay them so you are always pulling pots
basicly lay about 15 in a row as fast as you can then go back to begining
it takes a pot 60 seconds to trigger this can mean sink or nothing or full trap
after yo go back to start of line wait for one to bob if its first one pull it and lay another there then second one etc i can pull a huge amount in a short time the key is the timing if a pot empty or full it only last 3 min and will sink

if a pot down the line bobs this means the ones before it can be pulled and reset
if you have ec put them on a hot bar with hot key for faster empty and faster set u need to spots 1 for each direction of pot

I guess you have to do that without cannons on the deck as they make it too hard to run back and forth.

Also....maybe I am just unlucky, but I have had 30 Lobster Traps "Pulled beneath the waves" and have only cought 1 of the lobsters I need for the quest.

I did not realize that after the Trap went blub, blub it still stayed there. I was waiting for the blub, blub and grabbing it right away thinking that if I did not it would be lost. lol

This makes it a bit easier

dont do it from a ship and its much much easier find a stretch of dock or land !
not saying you cant but it is easier

 

[Willard]

I'll have to try that
Thanks

you can do it from land but are some of them only able to be gotten in deeper water tho?

My favorite place to be crabbin' is on the Jhelom dock! All the crabs and lobster are available from anywhere, as if it is too shallow you cannot throw the trap anyway.
