Additionally, you will need 100 pieces of bug meat to complete the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Juicy Bugs Wanted special order. This is a quest that can be found on the special orders board in front🀅 of the Mayor's꧟ house.

Juicy Bugs Wanted requires you to deliver 100 bug meat within seven days and place them in the bin near the fish shop.

If you have accessꩵ to the sewing machine, you can also use bug meat to make the Pink Striped Shirt.

How To Find Bugs In The Mines

One of the best sources of bug meat is within the Mines. Out of the 120 levels of the Mines, you will find the most amount of bugs near the top floors. Monsters on these floors will be pretty easy to kill, allowing you to safely explore without collapsing due to low health. These floors will h🅷ave Bugs, Cave Flies, as well a🍃s Grubs, which are pictured above.

Bugs are insects that fly in a straight path, turning around when they run into another object. They are fairly simple to kill; just stay out of their way and attack. Bugs will have a 76 percent chance of dropping bug meat.

Grubs have a 60 percent chance to drop bug meat. This bug will eventually transform into a Cave Fly, increasing the chances to find bug meat to 90 percent.

If you see Grubs on the ground, stand nearby and wait until they turn into Cave Flies before attacking. As Grubs transform (or pupate), they will turn a bluish-green color and become immune to damage. After they become a fly, attack and kill them.

Efficiently Farming In The Mines

To efficiently farm for bug meat, stick to floors 15-25. Using the elevator, cycle these floors and slay any bugs that stand in your 🎀way to collect their meat.

Travel to different floors of the mines, searching for insects to kill. If an area becomes misty green, you have entered an infested floor. On these floors, a lot of Cave Flies will appear to attack you, mak🧔ing this a great source of bug meat.

Some players note that the infested floor moves 'up' every day for a period of time. For example, if you find it on Floor 39, the next day it may appear on Floor 38. Additionally, the floor remains infested all day, allowing yo🎃u to leave and come back later in the da🍬y to newly respawned bugs.

The Burglar's Ring & Monster Musk

Overall, we recommend using a combination of the and .

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Burglar's Ring will increase the chances of receiving monster loot, while Monster Musk is a usable item that doubles the number of enemies encountered. Be𓄧low, you can check out a small table ex𓆏plaining how to get both items.

With these two items combined, you will have a higher chan🌃ce of encountering more bugs that drop more meaไt.

Mutant Bug Lair

Another source of bug meat is from the Mutant Bug Lair. This is an area that is accessible from the left-hand side of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Sewers.

To unlock the mutant bug area, you will need to start the Dark Talisman quest. This quest is necessary to start 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Goblin Problem quest as well.

This quest can only be started after you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:complete the Community Center, making the lair out of reach early in the game. If✃ you have not finished the Community Center yet, it's best to stick t𓆏o the Mines for farming bug meat.

In this area, there will be a lot of Mutant Grubs and Mutant Flies. Similar to the normal varieties, the Mutant Grub has a 60 percent chance to drop bug meat while the Mutant Fly has a 90 percent chance.

Bugs will continuously respawn in the Mutant Bug Lair. Once you have defeated all the bugs, you can come back later, as well as the following morning.

Fish Ponds

Lastly, you will have a chance to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:collect bug meat from fish ponds.

If you have a fish pond with at least nine , , or , then you may receive 20 bug meat every day. Each of these fish 🌱has around a five percent daily chance to produce 20 bug meat. Raising your fish population takes a bit of work, but it's a great passive source of bug meat.

Ponds with these types of fish have a capacity of ten. When you first put the fish inside, you will need to complete quests in order to spawn more. These will be simple fetch quests that require you to fi🍌nd items and toss them in the pond.

Those are the best places to farm bug meat. Use your new bug meat to craft the recipes and c🎃omplete Willy's special order now!
