Windy pond hovering and net interception
This dark insect appears hovering over water reeds and surface ponds when windy conditions exceed 20 mph across grassy biomes. Its darting aerial flight patterns require swift net swings with a Bug Net before it flits away across open waters. Combining a captured specimen with an empty glass Bottle creates a Black Dragonfly Jar to place on tables, dressers, and shelves.
Windy event bait gathering and water angling
Carrying 20% bait power, this critter serves as effective mid-tier bait for freshwater, ocean, and honey fishing. Because windy days cause dragonflies to spawn frequently near reeds, patrolling surface pools lets players stock dozens of reliable bait items without digging up soil or collecting fallen stars. Excess catches sell for 10 silver each at any town vendor, providing dependable early funding for accessories and potions.
Trivia
- Spawns primarily around surface cattails and water reeds during windy events.
- Shares matching bait strength with all other non-golden dragonfly colors.
