Be warned, this is a HUGE GRIND for an essentially useless skill. Trap damage is negligible and you can't even remove traps from Devious+ maps (even at 120.0). However is actually semi-profitable and gives a break from mindless mob grinding.
Also the TMap steps are good for leveling weapons (2x XP in Tramm, 4x in Fel).I don't remember the exact numbers, so if you decide to follow along this path, feel free to update where you swapped steps.

Step 1: Magic Trap -> Remove Trap (0.0 -> ~85-90.0)
You can go from 0 to ~85-90 with just this UO Steam macro. It casts Magic Trap on a box, then will remove trap on it. Should be pretty easy to re-create in Razor or Orion.
Code: Select all
// Set this to the serial of a box in your inventory
// Serial can be gotten with .info or Object Inspector button
@setalias 'box' 0x4310d221
cast "Magic Trap"
waitfortarget 3500
target! 'box'
pause 1000
useskill 'Remove Trap'
waitfortarget 3000
target! 'box'
pause 6000
This step is a bit iffy. There are a few dungeons that have Blaze chests scattered around them along with Agapite locks. These can technically take you a bit past 110, but **extremely** slowly.
Once you're freshly done with the Magic Trap macro, some of the Agapite locks will give skillups, but others will not.
Similarly, some of the blaze chests can give skillups, while some are completely impossible. The difficulty seems to be randomized.
My method here was to pick all the Agapite locks (free gold/gems, etc), and then try the Blaze chests. If I failed 10x in a row with no skillups, I would simply double-click the chest to blow the trap, loot it, then move on to the next one.
This is good up until about ~105-110 skill, though it slows down significantly after ~100-105.
Blaze Chest Locations I used:
* Ice Dungeon (2nd level has 4, other Blaze + Agapite pairs scattered around 1st)
* 4th level Hythloth (Lots of Blaze + Agapite pairs)
* Daemon Temple (underneath)
Step 3: Clever Treasure Maps (~105.0-120)
You can get skillups from lower treasure chests occasionally if you get tired of farming dungeon chests, but after 105-110, you can *ONLY* get skillups from Clever Treasure Maps (Verite locks).
I would get a 0.1 skillup every 2-4 chests, so this is a huge grind. Treasure hunting gets you some gold/deco/etc though so it's nice.
Keep in mind that lower level treasure maps can upgrade to higher-level maps, particularly in Felucca. So, if you have access to those, they're worth dong for the upgrade chance. Ideally you could do these before 105and build up a good supply of Clever maps to blow through after 105. (I wish I'd done this in retrospect).

You will definitely want a macro for Lockpick + Remove Trap + Loot chest or you'll go insane. Here's the macro that I use for UOSteam:
https://github.com/Erumite/UOEX-Macros/ ... ing.groovy
It will lockpick the box, remove trap, then loot everything in the box through a series of organizers. It's not plug and play as you'll need to set up your organizers and aliases however you want. I hopefully added enough comments in the file to explain things.
