After buying a trap it is located in /inv -> Equipment and has a weight of 50. To use it the trap has to be unwrapped and equipped in the offhand weapon slot. Once the trap is equipped the player has to finish a quest and then has a chance to set up the trap. This chance rises with increasing levels of the skill.

After the trap is set up it can be triggered by a player of the castle that the trap works on (eg: Red Trap triggers only for a Highnest player). By doing so, the trap steals a part of the quest loot of that person and gives it to the Ranger that set up the trap. No item is excluded, which means that traps are able to steal not only resources but also recipes and parts. The only exception to this seems to be event specific loot^{[citation needed]}.

The colorless shard helps to prevent triggering a trap. It has to be bought and used the same way traps do and also weighs 50 in a players stock. Once equipped it reduces the overall chance to get trapped and has a small chance to completely block a trap that would have triggered even with the reduced risk. Once the shard completely blocks a trap, it is used up. As of now there is no info message of this happening, so players have to regularly check their equipped items to see if the shard is still there or if it's already used up.
Unlike traps the price of colorless shards doesn't change.
