Fields of Mistria — How To Pick Up Bugs
Bugs only appear under certain weather and time-of-day conditions, and locations vary (overworld, Mines, Beach, farm).
What the research confirms
This page answers the search task using the supplied research snapshot. The details below are paraphrased from the evidence points rather than presented as first-hand testing.
- Bugs are caught with a Bug Net, or bought from Balor’s Wagon.
- Bugs load randomly per screen; reloading The Summit is the recommended way to force-spawn a target bug.
- The wiki defines the time-name → hour mapping used in bug descriptions (Morning 6-11 AM, Day 6AM-8PM, Night 8PM-2AM).
- To catch bugs you must first unlock the Bug Net via the “Something’s Bugging Me” quest from Luc (Request Board, any day after Spring 4).
- The Bug Net upgrades through Forge/Blacksmithing tiers (Worn → Copper → Iron → Silver → Gold → Mistril), and better nets have larger catch areas (Iron 3x3, Mistril 6x9).
- Bugs only appear under certain weather and time-of-day conditions, and locations vary (overworld, Mines, Beach, farm).
- TRANSCRIPT CLAIM: The video gives no “how to pick up bugs” method; it only notes that bugs are a liked gift for Luke (a reason to catch them).
- None confirmed from an official source.
- Bugs are caught with a Bug Net (obtained from the “Something’s Bugging Me” quest by Luc) or bought from Balor’s Wagon.
- Bug Nets upgrade through the Forge to larger catch areas (Iron 3x3 → Mistril 6x9), and bugs spawn only under certain weather/time conditions.
- Bugs load randomly per screen; reloading The Summit is a recommended target-spawn tactic (blocked until “Beautification Project” story quest).
