Does smoking 3 bird snares really help?

[Atroxide]

so i decided to test it out, my hypothesis was that it took way to long to smoke all 3 traps, and that it would be faster xp just to not smoke it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of course the results would be different for the amount of traps you have, because if you have one. you can manage to smoke it. with 2 you can also, but who knows with 3?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am going to be doing quite a hand full of tests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

constants

 

 

 

Camo: Full larupia

 

 

 

#: 3 bird snares

 

 

 

bird: tropical wagtail

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manipulated Variables

 

 

 

Smoked or nonsmoked

 

 

 

time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

test 1

 

 

 

time: 10mins

 

 

 

smoked: 1899 xp

 

 

 

nonsmoked: 2004 xp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Test 2

 

 

 

im doing test 2 now

 

 

 

time: 30mins

 

 

 

smoked:

 

 

 

nonesmoked:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Test 3

 

 

 

im doing this later

 

 

 

time: 1 hour

 

 

 

smoked:

 

 

 

nonsmoked:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so far from the 1 test my data supports my hypothesis that smoking 3 bird snares do not help, because it takes to much time to smoke them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of course i have only done 1 test so data will change

Interesting to find out if it actually helps on 3, first test shows it doesnt but you gotta find the best technique yet.

[Jeffery]

gl i think not takes longer

[blouinator]

i think its slower smoking 3 traps

[Freshwacka]

Why would you catch birds anyways? :-X

[BodomX]

Whats smoking traps? Does that just mean setting them up. . .?

no once you reach 39? hunter you can use a lit torch to smoke your traps and remove your scent from them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

supposedly gives a better chance of catching something

Oh I think putting up more than 2 traps is a waste of time right now. Way too many people, but it will own in the future.

[im1knight]

yep i foudn that out too.. i just set 3 and let the bird freely land on them=p saves time than blow smoke on ea of them

[NukeMarine]

Smoking does not speed up the rate of animals setting on the trap. It reduces the failure times. Birds don't fail much, so smoking will not be as noticeable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However!!!!! I did green lizards. Once I hit 39, I failed noticeably less using the smoke.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, smoke traps that have higher hunting requirements. I think the results will be more noticeable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When tracking results, compare fail to no fail. Removes oddities such as player crowds.

If smoking a trap is easy as a click-torch, click-trap to clear your scent, why is it slow? I haven't tried hunting yet so forgive my ignorance on the subject :oops:

[pkif]

the only thing u need to smoke is for red chimchompas since they are hard to catch at lvl 63, but u dont need bait. Anything lower doesn't need bait or to be smoked.

 

 

 

I dont know about salamanders as I never even trapped them or lizards lol.

[jessy87]

it does.

[Thus]

wow, cool test you got there. Good luck with stuff and the answers and maybe tip.it will add the info into the hunting guide.

[Blipo]

Just so you know - how close you are to the trap affects whether or not you succeed to catch anything.

[Bow_Mage]

Of course it helps. Otherwise Jagex wouldn't have put it in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's still a great idea to test it, good luck.
