How To Find Silk Thread In Palia?

Silk Thread is one of a few resources that can be obtained by catching specific bugs in Kilima Village and Bahari Bay. More specifically, they must catch Rare and Epic rarity bugs, so it would be wise to level this skill to have various tools available to help catch these creepy crawlers.

Nevertheless, to catch these critters, you must have smoke bombs in their Inventory and have a high rarity belt equipped to the character, like the Standard, Fine, or Exquisite Belts. Likewise, certain consumable items, like the Honey Lure and Smoke Candle, may also help lure insects for a limited time.
