How to get Pond Skater in Fields of Mistria

To get Pond Skater in Fields of Mistria, stand by the water’s edge and patiently wait for it to come to you. No matter how many times you attempt to approach, the insect will always scuttle away when too near. Therefore, it’s best to remain in the same spot, where it will eventually come to you.

The first Pond Skater I caught bounced around like a maniac for a minute or so until it finally got close enough for the capture. Though, it’s easier said than done, considering that you must time your bug net swing at the opportune moment. Don’t worry if you miss it the first time or even the second time around. The process takes a while to master, but it should eventually work in your favor.

Be aware that the Pond Skater is not present during the Winter season. Luckily, it can be found during all the other seasons, providing you with ample time to practice and prepare for its capture.

There’s not a whole lot you can do with the Pond Skater in Fields of Mistria. The insect won’t be needed for museum donations, nor does it sell for much profit (only 15 T). However, it does come up as a villager’s request for extra Tesserae and gifts.
