When posting in this forum, please always include:

  • Season of Discovery
  • Trained Explosive Trap rank 3
  • Tried to use Explosive Trap rank 3 with trap launcher
  • Error text result: Invalid Target
  • Bairdon, Hunter 55 on WildGrowth

This seems to have changed now that I have the next rank of Immolation Trap at 56. Or something. Either way - it is no longer an issue for Rank 3 but I’m not sure why it was a problem before.

This happens if you have a rune currently engraved, and then train a new ability that the rune would augment.

Runes only update abilities on login, zoning, or unequipping, re-equipping the item with the rune on it, or changing the rune to a different one and then changing it back.

For example, if you have Wyvern Strike engraved on your gear, and then you learn Wyvern Sting from the Survival tree, you will NOT have Wyvern Strike until you do one of the things I mentioned.

So runes only check and augment abilities you know at time of application, and it does not update if you gain new ranks through training or talent points. If you train or learn something new, you have to get it to reapply so it checks your abilities again.

Wow. Completely reasonable explanation- thank you!
