A dart-trap component is a spring-loaded tube used to set a dart trap. It is one of nine portable trap components among miscellaneous items.[1]
Generation
It occurs as item-level-0 random loot, possible pawn-shop stock, or through acquirement. Successfully disarming a dart trap can recover one already identified; recovery is a separate chance after disarming succeeds.[2]
Setting and effect
Activate an identified component as an item while standing on ordinary, effect-free floor. It installs a hidden trap under you and consumes one component. An unknown component causes a trap accident instead; an unsuitable square wastes the component. See setting components for the common rules.[3]
A triggering grounded monster takes physical damage equal to twice the local difficulty. The player instead faces an armor-based chance to stop the dart, then difficulty-sized physical damage and a one-in-three poison check. A mounted player's horse is merely annoyed. The trap's poison is therefore a player hazard, not an added poison attack against monsters.[4]
Strategy
The tube offers modest damage against grounded, physically vulnerable enemies. Do not expect poison to compensate for physical immunity. Identify it before use, leave room to step away, and remember that discovering the trap can make ordinary monster movement avoid it. Flying and intangible monsters do not trigger its effect.
