Collecting Needles
Most players will want to collect a bunch of needles but it can be difficult to stockpile needles unless you live near the Plains. Deathsquitos are difficult to see from a distance and have no particular spawning location, however, they always spawn in pairs. To farm needles, you just have to roam the plains and keep your head on a swivel.
You can also find a few needles in chests guarded by Fulings inside Fuling Camps.
New players often find deathsquitos absolutely terrifying. After a while, you realize they’re actually quite fragile and great for target practice. When in doubt, hold up your shield and deathsquitos are easiest to kill when they are making a beeline approach to try and stab you. For more detailed information, check out the page on deathsquitos.
