Method
A repeatable practical cycle
Build the site once
Construct all five traps with the required buckets, planks, nails, saw and hammer.
Bait in a circle
Use one fine fish offcut on each trap.
Collect after 25 ticks
Follow the same circular order as the catches become ready.
Crush while moving
Convert each catch into rainbow crab paste on the way to the next trap.
Rebait immediately
Keep all five timers active to approach the reference pace.
XP vs profit
What changes the tradeoff
About 159.8K Hunter XP/hr at 740 crabs
Each catch gives 216 Hunter XP. Crushing the catch while moving keeps the five-trap cycle open and converts the untradeable catch into the tradeable paste used for Armadyl brews.
