New item: Butterfly net

Post by Flyffywambler »

With a bunch of new insects to catch, why not introduce: The butterfly net.
It would require some string and a bough.

It's use:
When equipped, you no longer need to rightclick on an insect to be able to catch it. Just bumping into it will suffice.
Ready to wamble!

Except, now that I think of it, that'd lead to people flooding swamps with alts equipped with them so they can catch dragonflies. :(

Not if you make it too expensive to produce en masse.

I think it'd be somewhat handy. You'd still have to catch up to the bug, and touch it. I wouldn't have to frantically right-click around the screen like a retard to catch a bug. I'd be frantically left-clicking, but I'd at least be making headway with each click.

sounds like a good idea but really needs some balancing if implemented (like needing silk and steel, and/or braking after 5 insects [i mean, it's DRAGONflys!])

i guess as they are limited to a certain terrain yet?
i think they should be able to pass over from swamp to swamp, like real dragonflys

Interesting, but considering that some nice Curio Dragonflies were just added this might upset the intended balance for them. Might be ok though if the Net required some Silk Filaments to make.
