Ghost Trapping is a feature that was initially introduced during the Halloween 2025 Seasonal Event. It eventually has become one of the Social Classes.

Preparation

Before you can actually begin to trap some ghosts, you will need to get a Ghost Trapping Mechanism, a Candle, and some Ghost Baits.

You can get the following items from the GT Recruiter inside the building at land_prt 59 84. In the same building, you can also find an NPC that will basically guide you in Ghosttrapping.

  • 1x Suck-o-Matic-9000 (Mechanism)
  • 1x Twisted Candles
  • 100x Ghostbait Malty Brew
  • 1x Ghosttrapper Rookie Certificate
  • 1x Ghost Photo Album


Ghost Films are used to take ghost pictures, but isn’t required to lure ghosts. Plasma items are used to lure specific ghosts at a chance, and they also provide some Ghosttrapping stats when equipped. These aren’t required to lure ghosts in general.



Setup

You first need to equip your Ghost Trapping Mechanism, and Candle via your Ghost Photo Album or by using @gt. Take note that by equipping the Mechanism, and Candle, these items are actually taken from your inventory. There’s no way to unequip them aside from equipping another Mechanism, and Candle.

Once you’ve equipped your Mechanism, Candle, and other items, you need to equip your Ghost Bait next, also via the Ghost Photo Album or @gt command. If you have some Plasma and wish to use them, you can equip them as well.



Capturing Ghosts

Old Mechanic

This was the old capturing mechanic that was introduced last Halloween 2025 event, and is no longer currently applicable.

  1. If you’re familiar with BraveRO’s Fishing System, the Ghost Hunting Event also works in a similar way, but with some differences. Unlike fishing, there’s no reeling time. After a short loading time, you will immediately know whether you’ve successfully caught a ghost or not.
  2. To actually start capturing ghosts:
  3. You need to find a spot to capture ghosts. For the beginning of the event, only the Ghost Haunting Spot in land_prt is available. Later on more spots will be available, and you can see these spots by opening your Ghost Photo Book and choose Haunting Spot Location.
  4. Once you're at a Haunting Spot, click on it and choose Let’s Hunt.
  5. The dialogue window will next show what Mechanism, Candle, Ghost Bait, and Plasma you’ve currently equipped.
  6. Afterwards, it will show your Raw Power, Mystic Power, Attraction, Loot Rate, and Cooldown Stats.
  7. Select Hunt!!
  8. A short loading bar will appear.
  9. There are two stats to take note of: Raw Power, and Mystic Power. Most ghosts can be captured via Raw Power. However, certain ghosts will require a certain amount of Mystic Power before you can have a chance of capturing them.
  10. If you’ve successfully captured a ghost, the dialogue window will then show the name of the ghost, and its rarity. You’re also given some items, and ghost trapping EXP upon a successful capture.
  11. After a successful capture, a dialogue window will show the EXP you’ve got and the current number of ghosts that you’ve captured for that certain ghost. If you’ve leveled up, you will also receive some skill points. Starting from Ghost Trapper Level 3 and above, you will start receiving additional random rewards from leveling up.
  12. After capturing the ghost, you can choose to either take its photo or release it. Taking a ghost’s photo will require and consume Ghost Film. Higher rarity ghosts will have the chance to give you higher quality pictures.
    1. There is a small chance that you will trigger the captcha while capturing ghosts, when this happens, simply answer the question (the answer should be given already). If ##you correctly answer it, you will be given 1x Ghostbait Cola
    2. While you can take the picture of every ghost you’ve encountered, if you’re lacking in Ghost Film, it’s recommended to only take photos of higher rarity ghosts.
    3. If you’re still waiting for your cooldown, you can use a Chrono Crystal in order to instantly reset your cooldown time.


New Mechanic

As of May 26, 2026, this is the new method of capturing ghosts. Ghost Trapping Spots in @warp land_prt have been temporarily disabled as well. If you’re familiar with BraveRO’s Fishing System, the Ghost Hunting Event also works in a similar way, but with some differences. To actually start capturing ghosts:

  1. You need to find a spot to capture ghosts. You can see Ghost Haunting Spots by opening your Ghost Photo Album and select Haunting Spot Location.
  2. At the moment, these Haunting Spots are segregated by level. Therefore, you can only access Haunting Spots that are equal or lower to your current Ghost Trapping Level.
    1. Glastheim - Level 0
    2. Niflheim - Level 10
    3. Payon - Level 20
    4. Toy Factory - Level 25
    5. Sunken Ship - Level 30
  3. Once you're at a Haunting Spot, click on it will show the current number of Paranormal Sightings. Click Next, then choose Let's Hunt. The dialogue window will next show what Mechanism, Candle, Ghost Bait, and Plasma you’ve currently equipped. Afterwards, it will show your Raw Power, Mystic Power, Attraction, Loot Rate, and Cooldown Stats.
  4. Select Hunt!!
  5. A short loading bar will appear.
  6. There are two stats to take note of: Raw Power, and Mystic Power. Most ghosts can be captured via Raw Power. However, certain ghosts will require a certain amount of Mystic Power before you can have a chance of capturing them.
  7. Your trap power will now depend on the timing of your capture attempt. A new visual indicator will show the ghost’s current position relative to the trap. The closer the ghost is to the trap when you attempt the capture, the more trap power can be utilized. If you don't trap a ghost once a perfect opportunity show, you will lose your chance and your bait.
  8. If the Trap Power isn't 100%, you need to Wait. If you choose Capture Now, there's a huge chance that you won't capture the ghost.
  9. Once the Trap Power is at 100%, you can now press Capture Now. If you continue to press Wait even if the Trap Power is at 100%, the ghost will snatch your bait and you will enter a cooldown period.
  10. If you’ve successfully captured a ghost, the dialogue window will then show the name of the ghost, and its rarity. You’re also given some items, and ghost trapping EXP upon a successful capture. If the ghost is too strong for you to capture, you won't capture it and you will enter a short cooldown period.
  11. After a successful capture, a dialogue window will show the EXP you’ve got and the current number of ghosts that you’ve captured for that certain ghost. If you’ve leveled up, you will also receive some skill points. Starting from Ghost Trapper Level 3 and above, you will start receiving additional random rewards from leveling up.
  12. After capturing the ghost, you can choose to either take its photo or release it. Taking a ghost’s photo will require and consume Ghost Film. Higher rarity ghosts will have the chance to give you higher quality pictures.
  13. While you can take the picture of every ghost you’ve encountered, if you’re lacking in Ghost Film, it’s recommended to only take photos of higher rarity ghosts.
  14. If you’re still waiting for your cooldown, you can use a Chrono Crystal in order to instantly reset your cooldown time.



Earning EXP

The amount of experience points required for getting to the next Ghosttrapping level is a bit different from fishing. For all levels, Fishing only has a 1,000 EXP requirement per level in order to level up. On the other hand, in order to increase your Ghosttrapper level, the required EXP to reach the next level will increase. For example, you need 100 EXP to reach level 2, 400 EXP to reach level 3, 900 EXP to reach level 4, and so on.

Meanwhile, amount of EXP required for your Ghost Photo Book is 1,000 for all levels, so this is pretty much straightforward. (currently not applicable due to Photos not giving Ghost Photo Book EXP anymore)

Take note that the EXP that's required by the Ghost Photo Album is entirely separate from the EXP for Ghosttrapping. Basically, you're looking to earn EXP for two things:

Skill Points

Skill points can normally be acquired from leveling up your Ghost Trapper Level. Each level will grant you some skill points. An alternative way of earning skill points is by using skill books after you’ve already used the skill book for the first time. You can increase the levels of your skills via the command @gt



Skill Books and Skills

There are various Ghost Trapping skills. Each skill requires a specific skill book to unlock. Using a skill book after you’ve already learned its skill will give you skill points instead. Take note that you cannot reset your skill points, so be careful in allotting your skills. There's a chance that skill books may drop from Battlegrounds. You can see your current skills via the command @gt

  • Mechanism Overclock – increases Raw Power by 2 per skill level. Max Level: 30
  • Arcane Spellcraft – increases Mystic Power by 1 per skill level. Max Level: 25
  • Temporal Distortion – increases Cooldown Reduction by 1 per skill level. Max Level: 120
  • Ghost Magnet – increases Attraction by 2 XD per skill level. Max Level: 30
  • Soul Plunder – increases Loot Chance by 1 per skill level. Max Level: 20
  • Spirit Liberation – increases Experience Explosion by 1 per skill level. Max Level: 30
  • Spectral Snare – increases Fetch Chance by 1 per skill level. Max Level: 20
  • Ectoplasmic Rewind – increases Refresh Chance by 1 per skill level. Max Level: 20

New Skills/Stats to be added on new equipment/mechanics:

  • Doppelganger - Allows traps to capture similar ghosts alongside the target.
  • Cosmic Attraction - Increases the chance of attracting Cosmic Ghosts.
  • Anti-Mythical - Reduces the stats of Mythical Ghosts, making them easier to capture.


Skill Pages which are acquired from opening ghost pictures, can be combined into 1 random ghosttrapping skill book.

Ghost Photos

There are seven types of ghost photos. Each of them have different rarities from low to highest.

  • Hazy Ghost Snapshot
  • Faint Spirit Image
  • Clear Specter Shot
  • Detailed Phantom Portrait
  • Eerie Apparition Capture
  • Nightmarish Wraith Image
  • Exquisite Ethereal Portrait


Ghost Photos can be opened for rewards. The quality of the rewards will heavily depend on the quality of the photo itself. Additional ways to obtain films will be added later as we continue monitoring reward distribution.
