Trapping is a World 3 Skill that allows you to obtain Critters in IdleOn by placing traps in specific locations throughout the world. Unlike other skills, Trapping does not require you to place your character in an idle map, instead you simply place traps!

The best IdleOn Class that specializes in Trapping is the Hunter class.
In order to begin Trapping, you must complete the Lord Of The Hunt quest Pelt for the Pelt God. To unlock other Trapping Locations, you'll need to complete his other quests.
Trapping Overview
Each character in IdleOn can place a trap at any of the Trapping Locations you have unlocked. Depending on the trap you place, you can then collect any critters you have caught once the timer has completed.
The first trapping area is located in Blunder Hills / Jungle Perimeter, where you can trap the Froge critter. Simply walk to the area where the critters spawn, and the option to place a trap will appear.
Make sure you have a Trap equipped in your Tools section. You can buy the Cardboard Traps from the Frostbite Tundra Vendor shop.
There are several types of traps you can place, each with their own benefit. You can place your trap for a specific number of hours; once the timer has completed head back to the trap and collect your critters, which will spawn as items.
Shiny Critters become available once you have equipped the Silkin Trap.
Some boxes have a higher rate of dropping Shiny Critters than others, so depending on what Critters you need to farm, you will want to place that specific trap.
Hunter's have the skill Eagle Eye, which allows you to collect all traps remotely without having to visit each trap.
If you have built the Trapper Drone Tower, you can also change which critters each character is trying to catch without the need to logon to each individual character. As long as you have placed at least one trap in that location at least one times, the location becomes permanently available for the Trapper Drone.
Trapping - Critter Locations
Each Critter Location only becomes available once you have completed the Lord Of The Hunt quest for that specific location.

Trap Types
Traps are Tools you can equip that unlock specific trap mechanics. Some increase the odds of getting Shiny Critters, others improve EXP etc.
Each trap also gives a number of "slots". Each slot allows you to place multiple traps at a location per character.
The Alchemy Bubble CALL ME ASH will give you +1 Trapping Slot too.
