Crimson-tinted flight and lakeside trapping
Sporting bright scarlet wings, this dragonfly hovers over surface pools and riverbeds when breezes pick up across the landscape. Players intercept its rapid movements using any basic Bug Net along shoreline reeds, sandbanks, wooden docks, and lake banks. Bottling one inside a clean glass Bottle produces a Red Dragonfly Jar that serves as an animated tabletop ornament for player bases.
Quest fishing bait and surplus liquidation
Featuring 20% bait power, this insect delivers reliable bite frequency when completing Angler quests or hauling wooden crates from lakes and ponds. It offers an easy alternative to hunting nighttime fireflies or rainy-day worms across muddy fields. Captured dragonflies can also be traded to NPCs for 10 silver per unit, offering a quick method to convert windy weather into extra silver coins for mining tools.
Trivia
- Its red wings stand out clearly against lake water and green shoreline foliage.
- Requires elevated wind speeds to spawn naturally above surface water reeds.
