A magic box is a type of trap used in the Hunter skill. The magic box trapping technique is used to catch imps. With the required Hunter level, the player may set up a magic box. When an imp passes the trap, it may be caught, but only when the player is not standing on the trap.

If the prey is successfully caught, the magic box will enclose the imp inside the box. Doing this creates an Imp-in-a-box, which can be used to bank 2 items or stacks of items.

Adding bait (any bead) to a trap will increase the catch rate by +3%. It is not possible to smoke magic boxes, unlike other hunter traps, to increase the catch rate. Doing so yields the message, Imps steal so many human items, they're unlikely to be worried by human smells. Due to the low increase of the catch rate, most players believe that adding bait to traps doesn't justify the extra actions it takes.

Magic boxes, as well as magic imp box packs containing 100 magic boxes, may be bought from Aleck's Hunter Emporium. in Yanille, the Nardah Hunter Shop. in Nardah, or Imia's Supplies in the Hunter Guild.

Having a magic box in your inventory prevents you from entering the Puro-Puro mini-game. Since magic boxes can be stored inside the Huntsman's kit, players can store the magic box before going inside the Puro-Puro mini-game. Players who attempt to activate the magic box within the mini-game will receive the message, You can't set up a trap here.

Imp-in-a-boxes can also be used to store items while in the wilderness or pvp areas, provided you are not in combat and below level 30 wilderness.
