Butterflies

Revision as of 01:17, 30 July 2020 by Rye Greenwood (talk | contribs) (ce, minor reword, moved a note to new Tips section, -irrelevant and incorrect trivia (by that logic, the Copper Pickaxe would be the 3509th item to be introduced into the game))

Butterflies are small critters that can be found in Forests during daytime. They can be caught with a Bug Net and carried in the inventory, or crafted into Butterfly Jars. They can also be used as bait for fishing.

Notes

  • Like all critters, butterflies spawned by a Butterfly Statue will disappear into a puff of smoke when trying to catch them with a Bug Net.
  • The spawn rate for butterflies is decided at random when a day begins. As such, some days will have countless butterflies, while others will have almost none.
  • Butterfly Jars cannot be crafted back into their materials, thus once a butterfly is put in a jar, it can no longer be released or used as bait for fishing.
  • Butterflies, like all critters, can heal up naturally over time.
  • Attempting to catch a Hell Butterfly with a standard Bug Net will not work, resulting in 1 damage taken and being inflicted with Burning for 5 seconds.

Tips

  • New players should be on the lookout for days when lots of butterflies spawn, since they can fetch high prices. One day can easily net over 10.

Trivia

BestiaryBestiary entries

  • Butterflies: "Beautiful fluttering insects that love sunrises. Fish are attracted to these based on their color variety."
  • Hell Butterfly: "A solemn butterfly seeking blooms rooted in hell. Its wings glimmer with fiery veins."
