The waters of Azoria inFae Farmaren’t the only places where animals can be found. The developers at Phoenix Labs have filled the game’s wonderfully relaxing world with moths, bees, frogs, and other little creatures that players can find and capture with a bit of effort. Successfully capturing these critters will reward players with XP that makes their critter hunting even more lucrative.
It’s a feature reminiscent ofAnimal Crossing, with different seasons and day cycles bringing unique critters out of hiding. When caught, critters can be sold, making them a quick and easy way to make some extra Florins in a pinch.

How To Catch Critters in Fae Farm
During the game’s tutorial, players will meetMel,the town’s beekeeper. He gives the player a critter net and lays out the basics of using it, as listed below:
This iseasier said than donewith some creatures. Toads, for example, are very wary of the player, while most flying insects are barely aware of their surroundings. When a critter has a ‘!’ above its head, it will try to escape and eventually disappear in a cloud of smoke. Critters do respawn, and quick players can attempt to capture them while they’re trying to escape. It’s important to stay sneaky for a high chance of success.
As players' critter catching level increases, they’re treated to a variety of bonuses to make the hobby even more lucrative. Their starter net isn’t the only one that can be used either.Mel will sell upgraded nets at level 3, 5, and 7.On the surface, these may seemlike cosmetic-only upgrades, but upgraded nets can capture Fae critters and mountain critters that are immune to the starting critter net.
With critters in their inventory, players are free to sell them or place them in storage. Additional resources can be harvested by placing them inside a ‘critter conservatory.’ Keeping some ofthe rarer typesin a storage shed until they can be placed inside a conservatory is recommended.
Fae Farmis available now for PC and Nintendo Switch.
