Summary
It can sometimes be hard to figure out thebest locations to plant a honey lureinPalia. As the game has gained an increased number of players, honey lure catches are becoming more and more difficult. However, there are still some locations in which players can place their honey lures securely and efficiently, enabling them tocatch some of the best bugsin the game - specifically the Rainbow Tipped Butterfly.
The recipe for a honey lure is unlocked at Bug Catching level 7 for 2000 gold at the Bug Catching Guild from Auni. They’re not the cheapest items to make, as one honey lure requires 1 Gold Bar, 1 Dragon’s Beard Peat, and 4 apples, but the rewards can often be well worth it, as it’s one of the best methods to catch rare bugs inPalia. Alternatively, if players lack the required crafting ingredients, honey lures can be purchased for 75 Bug Catching medals from the Bug Catching Guild Store after reaching Bug Catching level 10.
5Windmill Fields, West of Chapaa Crossing - Kilima Valley
Time: Day (Evening Is Best)
One of the few efficient honey lure spots to be located outside of Bahari Bay is found in theWindmill Fieldsjust West of Chapaa Crossing, almost immediately after leaving the player’s homestead and just before Kilima Village. Whilst players are less likely tofind epic tier bugshere, this location does have the best spawn rate for Gossamer Veil Moths. These moths are a rare-tier bug and can often be excessively difficult to find.
This location will provide ample opportunities to catch this rare bug. After placing a honey lure, there should be quite a few that spawn, so players should start throwing their smoke bombs as soon as they see any appearing. Whilst not a rare bug, the Gossamer Veil Moth is a valuable catch, and this honey lure method makes them 10x easier to obtain.
4Proudhorn Pass - Bahari Bay
Time: Day
Proudhorn Passis one of the best locations inPaliato place a honey lure when hunting forAncient Amber Beetlesspecifically. However, there is still a chance that other rare insects will spawn here. Located west of Statue Garden and just northeast of the Ancient Aquaduct, Proudhorn Pass is easily accessible and makes for a great spot to place honey lures.
Whilst honey lures are best placed in groups, Proudhorn Pass is one of the few locations that can work relatively well when solo catching. There will mostly always be at least 1 epic insect that spawns from a honey lure here; it’s just down to the player’s methods as to whether one will show up.
3Pulsewater Plains - Bahari Bay
Time: Day Or Night
Bahari Bay is a central spot for bug catching andcontains many of the best locationsto place a honey lure. One such location is aroundPulsewater Plains, located northeast of Hideaway Bluffs and southeast of Pavel Mines. Players will often find that someone else is announcing that they are placing a honey lure around this location, inviting others to go along and participate.
This is often the best method when it comes to catching bugs with honey lures - teamwork is key. If every player brings around 80 smoke bombs to use at this location whilst the honey lure is active, more insects will spawn, which means that there’s a good chance forrarerinsects to spawn, too. Working together means catching more insects, which inevitably results in agreat money-making method. Pulsewater Plains is one of the best and most well-known locations for group-based bug-catching.
2West Of Hideaway Bluffs - Bahari Bay
Time: Day (Early Morning Is Best)
Remaining in Bahari Bay, another great location for placing a honey lure is justwest of Hideaway Bluffs, a little up the trail from Hassian’s Grove. This area seems to offer one of the highest chances of catching Rainbow-Tipped Butterflies and Fairy Mantes.
Hideaway Bluffs is located in the southwest corner of Bahari Bay, and players should head just a bit further southwest to place their lure for optimal results. Once again, this location is best when visiting with 4+ players who are armed with an array of smoke bombs. That said, it can also yield some great rewards for solo catchers.
1Pavel Mines Entrance - Bahari Bay
One of the absolute best spots to place a honey lure inPaliais undoubtedly at theentrance to Pavel Mines. This is due to the fact that 4 epic-tier bugs have very high spawn rates here. No matter if players are Bug Catching in groups or solo, placing a honey lure near theentrance to Pavel Mineswill almost always yield great results when catching valuable bugs.
No matter if players are attempting to catch Rainbow Tipped Butterflies, Jewelwing Dragonflies, Fairy Mantes, or Ancient Ember Beetles, a well-placed honey lure will work wonders for everyone here. The entrance to Pavel Mines is found near central Bahari Bay, just northeast of Hodari and Najuma’s house or almost directly above Pulsewater Plains.
