Seriously. This is really making me mad!!!
20+ traps in a row!!!!! I have waisted THOUSANDS on traps and the KEEP failing!
Is there a glitch in the game or something? This is really making me mad.

No, there is nothing wrong. That is just how the system is set up.

You can use the higher quality traps for higher success rates.

Traps are meant to be a gold sink in the game and are one of the main uses of gold at this time.

But they are not set to be anywhere near that rate - so I guess you are just having bad luck.

My main use for gold is to save up for contests and buying art. Not wasting them on traps that wont work.

I'm sorry I'm angry, but it really is annoying. The capture rate should be raised just a little bit...

We all have that problem with traps Keyoshi. You also find that your stables fill a lot faster then you mean them too from capturing so many pets. It's very frustrating when you start out, but after you hit level 60 and have gold coming in through missions, quests, dungeon runs and the like, you'd be surprised that it accumulates at a decent rate. It's also pretty easy to go nurture pets and buy pet dyes/mutators from the scale shop and sell those on the broker~ they bring in a decent amount for an hour- an hour and a half of work. If there's a pet that I really, really want that I find in the wild, I do go a trap quality higher. ;) It's proven to be pretty successful~ not always, but just about.
