Got enough free points? I macroed from 50 to almost 90 at brit jeweller. Took a loooooong time tho, especially after 80 i was gaining like 0.5 max in one hour. Macroed it over night For a few days

I´m not at the skill cap yet, and the remove trap skill is set to UP...
I received a trapped chest from a tinker with 80+ tinkering tried to remove trap it a few times and gained skill

i have a skill scroll if anyone is interested. $$$$$$$

i'm already gm but i'm curious, did you drop it recently or is it some early 2014 leftover?

I dropped every SS in the game and never dropped remove trap (started playing 3 months ago)

Just macroed on the jeweler his chests for a while, and still no gains... I have been thinking what could be wrong and I could come up with the following:
  1. Something has changed and you can no longer gain skill from the chests near the bank
  2. Doing something wrong macro wise (i set up a macro that cycles through the 4 chests, remove trapping chest 1 till 4 and loop that)
  3. Having EXTREMELY bad luck on kill gain
  4. My char is somehow bugged that I don't gain skill on the chests anymore

I'm not at the skill cap yet, I'm well fed and remove trap is set to UP. PLUS I do gain remove trap skill from tinker trapped chests.

Can somebody that likes figuring game mechanics stuff out, help me rule out the possibilities above?
I would appreciate any type of help on this :D

What 4 chests are U talking about? There is only one chest inside britain jeweller shop next to the Bank. It's a single golden chest

I can confirm that I am stuck at 60 RT macroing at the EBB jewelers. Something has definitely changed.

Well it's pretty useless anyways, wouldn't keep it on my char if it hadn't been so damn hard to gm

to gain skill i thought you have to have a tinker at like 45 skill if your at like 30 remove trap.. Basically you just raise remove trap and once it catches up to tinkering you raise tinkering about 15 points.
Thats what I heard you have to do anyway. And it sucks if thats the case!

Is this true? and if so is this real or adjusted skill? and the 15 points is that WHOLE points or fifteen 0.1s (total 1.5)

Or can I use GM tinker traps to train any level remove trap?

(From another thread but feels like it should be here)

I figured out what I was doing wrong!
EBB jewelers chests will only make you gain till 60 ish remove trap skill. The WBB jeweler his gold box will let you gain up till 89 something skill (REALLY SLOWLY though....) Once you hit 89 remove trap, macro removing trap from a gm tinker trapped box. The gains on a GM tinker trapped box are OK. Shouldn't take long to GM once if you are doing it in a dungeon

anybody try to do this from zero? I didn't want to get detect hidden up (not a lot of room in my template) to be able to buy from trainer so I am trying from nothing but not having much luck on the Brit jewler boxes yet

I hate to necro a post but it's pointless to make a new thread. Has anyone found a better way to level this? I got to 79.8 from the jewelry shop next to the West bank. Left it run overnight (about 9 hours) and I didn't gain anymore. I do not have a GM Tinker and don't want to spend the time / money to level one up at this point since I do not have a character who can make money very quickly as I just started playing. I got to 95 lockpicking so I can open any dungeon chest but my Remove Trap is only high enough to disarm the lowest level containers (kegs, crates, etc) which don't really pay the bills. The are also too low to gain skill from.

I tried macroing on what the Wiki calls a mid-tier locked chest (a wooden chest in Despise) overnight and got no skill gains so I can't gain any skill gains in dungeons with my skill level. As it is, I will only be able to level up if I find someone to give me hundreds of trapped chests for free. That really sucks.

I have just GM'd this and it took a while. I did not use Tinker boxes. *****NOTE****** THIS SKILL IS NOT LIKE MANY SKILLS - IT WILL TAKE TIME AND PATIENCE TO GET TO GM. First of all, its not just the lock box by West Brit Bank that ramps skill up. Any vendor lock box will - but it will get slower (there are many around - go around and pick a nice peaceful spot). At some point, I noticed that I could only get a max of 0.3 daily - tops. It did not matter, once i got 0.3 for the day, i did not gain any more that day (cannot say if 0.3 is a daily cap, but this seemed to be the norm far too many times. The best method to gain? Practice on dungeon chests. This is how I gained from about 80 to 100. Practice, get the goodies and well, be patient o_O.

I GM'd this in 3 days. You are doing it sooo wrong. Worst part is how useless it is, turns out telek doesn't do anything negative on this server. I GMd it, and it was utterly useless...I am dropping it for mining.

Took me around 48h of non stop afk macro in brit on the jeweller chest to reach around 90, then i ate like 40 tinkering ss to gm it and with gm tinkering i finished remove traps in 4-5 hours of more afk macro.

And yeah, totally useless but gives a cool title

Has anyone got a good razor macro? I have a GM tinker so can make a trapped box. Is there any way of doing it with just one box if I gave my alt tinker re-trapping?
