Hunting technique

A copper longtail being caught.

The hunting technique is the same as for other birds. Players must set up a bird snare and wait until a bird gets stuck in it. Players may repeatedly use the same bird snare. Bird snares are available for purchase in Hunter shops.

Multiple traps

Bird snaring can be done with multiple traps at once, with the maximum amount of traps depending on the player's Hunter level.
