Help with Remove Trap

[Casor]

OK. I read in an older thread to remove trap at any of the small golden chests in town shops to get to 60 RT. I did that and got to 64 I think. Then I went to Yew Abby (as suggested in this older thread) where I was supposed to be able to get to 80 from the chests in the Abbey rooms. I don't make any gains from these chests.

What is the best way to get up from 64 RT? I tried dungeon chests and I guess they are still too high, because I am not able to disarm them and am not making any gains.

OK. So, after searching the forum more, I saw that someone said they gained a lot higher than I did off of the gold chest in the town shops. They were lockpicking the chest before doing remove trap. I was only doing RT without lp'ing the chest previously. I don't know if this is necessary or not, but I went back to the little gold shop chest and set a macro to lp it then remove trap and I started gaining again. It's slow going, but I'm at 74.6 now and gaining.

Pick the chest in West British jeweler by bank until about 80-85 then you should be able to RT almost anything without triggering the trap, and you will be able to gain off of dungeon chests from there. Some have claimed to get up to 92 from the jewelers but my gains stopped almost completely at 83

And for the record, you dont have to pick the lock, but the chests trap does seem to reset faster if you do

Hey man. I actually was just dealing with this same exact problem. It took AGES to get to 91 at the West Brit Jewelry. At that point, I decided to just say f*** the remove trap skill. The gains are horrible. I just dropped it and picked up magery, only requires 50 for 100% success casting telekinesis. I've been picking chests and casting it in dungeons all morning. Just wate for monsters to be a few tiles away from you, cast it, hide, and you're good to loot. Good luck man, hope this info helps!

Hey, did you have detecting hidden as you raised remove traps? Reading all sorts of things and I'm dropping detect hidden for remove traps atm. When gains died off completely at 75.1 I'm only at 27.8 detect, not sure if that's the reason?

I started with DH locked at 50. I was told that you need 50 DH to use RT skill.

 

[PalleB]

You only need 50 to train remove traps from the Thief GM NPC but you can use the skill without Detect Hidden. The question is if you can gain all the way to GM remove traps with 0 detect hidden.

One of the posts I read when I was looking someone was asking if you could drop DH after you GMed RT. Someone's reply was that you could not. I don't know why that is or what the consequence of dropping DH is tho.
