Using the trap gives a 25% experience boost with successful catches and gives 50% of the normal catching experience for failed catches. This stacks with bonus experience and other modifiers, along with the enhanced yaktwee stick providing its usual 5% experience boost. Use of the trap adds a 10% chance of catching prey, and it stays up for 50% longer. Protean traps, as with all protean items, can be converted at a 3:2 ratio into other protean items.
