WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm A clear approach or marked defensive lane near base, outside garden paths.
Tooth Traps are a limited-use defensive tool, not an automatic renewable drop farm. A placed line can damage hounds that cross it; afterward, reset the traps and collect drops only when the area is safe. Keep the route away from garden work.
Before you go Tooth Traps Materials needed to reset used traps Armor and weapon for threats that survive the trap line Choose an approach lane where traps will not obstruct farming or ordinary travel. Place traps with enough room to move safely around the line. When hounds arrive, draw them across the prepared lane while keeping an escape route. Avoid standing on the traps yourself and deal with any remaining threat safely. Wait until the area is clear before retrieving hound drops. Inspect the line for sprung traps and reset those you intend to keep using. Store the line’s repair materials nearby for the next attack. Farming tips Keep a visible path around the traps so you can collect drops without crossing active hazards. Use armor and a weapon as backup; traps may not end an encounter by themselves. Repeat, collect and use Repeat when traps are triggered and you have materials to reset them; each use consumes trap durability until reset.
Common mistakes Placing traps in garden paths: move them to a dedicated approach lane. Assuming a trap line kills every hound: prepare for surviving enemies. Collecting drops during combat: wait until the lane is safe. When to stop or switch Stop extending the line when the approach is covered and you cannot afford more resets; switch to direct defense if the trap route is compromised.
