A trap is a device that can be hidden on various types of ground tiles and causes damage or other effects to a player who steps on it. Only players from an enemy kingdom or a hostile village may fall victim to a trap; neutral or ally players do not trigger them.

Traps can be disarmed by activating a variety of tools and items, then right clicking on a tile and choosing 'disarm'. Note that if successful the item used will be destroyed, so it is best to use something expendable like a log.

A trap can be detected by with the Sixth Sense spell cast on a player. Blacklighters have a natural ability to detect a trap without such a spell. When a nearby trap is sensed in this manner, an event window warning message is given.

The chance to successfully place a trap is determined by the traps skill.

Traps work on the Freedom server, but only against players who are on the village KOS list of the trap placer.
