A trap is a device that can be hidden on various types of ground tiles and causes damage or other effects to a player who steps on it. Only players from an enemy kingdom or a hostile village may fall victim to a trap; neutral or ally players do not trigger them.
Traps are a relatively new addition to Wurm which seek to change the face of PvP combat forever. They are extremely powerful area denial/control abilities, but require skilled carpenters and potterers to be of any use. Traps have various effects individually which are described on their individual pages.
A trap is set by activating the trap, right-clicking a ground tile, and choosing "Set trap". Failure to set the trap properly results in the message: "Sadly you fail to set the trap correctly. The trap triggers and is destroyed."
A trap can be disarmed by activating a variety of tools and items (like a log, shovel, or rake), right-clicking on a tile, and choosing "Disarm". Note that if successful the item used will be destroyed, so it is best to use something expendable like a log.
A trap can be detected by with the Sixth Sense spell cast on a player. Blacklighters have a natural ability to detect a trap without such a spell. When a nearby trap is sensed in this manner, an event window warning message is given.
The chance to successfully place a trap is determined by the traps skill.
Traps work on the Freedom server, but only against players who are on the village KoS list of the trap placer.
