How to Catch Bugs in Fields of Mistria

Ready to start your bug-catching adventure in Fields of Mistria? Catching bugs is an essential part of the game, and this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from acquiring your first net to mastering the best catching techniques. Whether you’re looking to complete your collection or earn some extra gold, we’ve got you covered.

Getting Your First Bug Catching Net

To catch bugs in Fields of Mistria, you’ll need a bug catching net. The easiest way to obtain your first net is to purchase it from the blacksmith in town. Head to the left side of town near the top, where you’ll find the blacksmith’s shop. Interact with the shop board by pressing E on your keyboard (if playing on PC).

You can buy a Copper Net for 1,000 gold. While this might seem expensive when you’re just starting out, don’t worry—you’ll earn this amount in just a few days of gameplay.

Once you’ve purchased the net, it will be added to your inventory and you’re ready to start catching bugs.

How to Catch Bugs

Basic Bug Catching

Once you have your net, find a bug on the ground in front of you. Select your net by pressing 0 on your keyboard. You’ll then see the net ready to use. Simply left-click on the bug to launch your net and catch it.

The catch is instant—once you’ve targeted the bug correctly with your left-click, it will be added to your inventory. You’ll receive information about the bug, including its name, rarity, and season availability.

Catching Bugs from Trees

In addition to catching bugs on the ground, you can also obtain bugs by shaking trees. Simply approach a tree and press E to shake it. Bugs may fall out as a result.

However, it’s important to note that this method is somewhat unreliable. The drop rate appears to be fairly low—testing showed that out of approximately 10 trees, only one or two would yield a bug. While you may occasionally get lucky and find a bug on your first few attempts, don’t rely on tree-shaking as your primary bug-catching method.

Summary

Catching bugs in Fields of Mistria is straightforward: purchase a Copper Net from the blacksmith for 1,000 gold, select it with the 0 key, and left-click on bugs to catch them. You can also try shaking trees for occasional bug drops, though this method is less reliable. With these techniques, you’ll be well on your way to building an impressive bug collection.
