Dapperwings<\/strong> are flying endemic life in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/a><\/em>. You\u2019ll need to capture<\/a> one as part of an early side quest, \u201cSamin\u2019s Research Report,\u201d <\/strong>for the research team at the Windward Plains base camp.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the follow up to \u201cDareel\u2019s Research Report,\u201d in which you need to capture tracktail lizards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our guide tells you where to find dapperwings in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em> and how to get one to complete the quest.<\/p>\n

\n

Where to find dapperwing locations in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To find a dapperwing<\/strong>, you\u2019ll first need to head to the lush corners of the Scarlet Forest. A good place to start is around the Bower of the Great Tree<\/strong> (Area 7)<\/strong> pop-up camp<\/a> location. From there, we headed over to Area 6<\/strong>, where we found three different spots with dapperwings.<\/p>\n

From what we gathered, dapperwings are usually in flocks and can be seen perching on fallen trees and branches. We found multiple of them during the daytime. A good cue is the sound they make, resembling regular birds.<\/p>\n

For some additional pointers, head east from the \u201c6\u201d on the map<\/strong>, and keep an eye out for the birds on the trees.<\/p>\n

\n

How to catch a dapperwing in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve spotted at least one dapperwing, all that\u2019s left is to capture them. You can equip your capture net<\/a><\/strong> either from the item bar or from your Essential Items radial menu. If you need some extra height to reach the target, mount your Seikret<\/a> and use the capture net while on top of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Approach the dapperwings slowly to prevent them from flying away. Unlike tracktail lizards<\/a>, since dapperwings are usually far from the ground, they won\u2019t mind if you walk close to them. With the new rectangle reticle, approach the dapperwing slowly until the reticle turns yellow-orange and fire it.<\/p>\n

As always, make sure you hit L2\/LT and not the usual square\/X.<\/p>\n

Completing the \u201cSamin\u2019s Research Report\u201d<\/strong> side mission rewards you with blue mushrooms (ten), honey (five), 50 guild points, and some experience for your hunter rank and palico level. <\/p>\n

\n

To also help you understand Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em>, we explain how to capture monsters<\/a>, how to change weapons<\/a>, and teach you how fishing<\/a> and layered armor<\/a> works.<\/p>\n
