Image credit: Old School RuneScape Wiki, © Jagex Ltd.
The butterfly net plays a bigger role in OSRS Leagues 6 than it does in the base game. It ties directly into early Hunter progression, impling farming, and even tracking your catches properly with league modifiers active.
What The Butterfly Net Does In OSRS Leagues 6
The butterfly net in OSRS Leagues 6 is used to catch implings and certain Hunter creatures, and it also lets you open the built in impling tracker directly from the item.
Functionally, it works the same as normal OSRS, but Leagues makes implings far more valuable. With boosted rewards and faster progression, catching implings becomes a steady way to build supplies and complete tasks early.
The tracker built into the net is what stands out. Instead of relying on external plugins, you can check your real impling counts directly from the item.
Where To Get Butterfly Net In OSRS Leagues 6
You can buy a butterfly net from Imia’s Supplies in the Hunter Guild in Varlamore. This shop stocks multiple butterfly nets, so it is always available as long as you have a small amount of coins. It is typically picked up early alongside bird snares and box traps as part of your initial Hunter setup.
Getting it early keeps your progression smooth. You can immediately start catching implings instead of skipping them or coming back later.

How The Impling Tracker Works
Right clicking the butterfly net or magic butterfly net opens the impling tracker interface. This shows your actual impling catches, which is important in Leagues 6.
Because of reward multipliers, external trackers can count more implings than you actually catch. The built in tracker avoids that and shows the correct total.
This becomes useful quickly when working on tasks or tracking specific impling drops.
Why The Butterfly Net Matters Early
The butterfly net shows up early because implings are one of the easiest ways to start building momentum.
They provide:
early supplies
task progress
steady rewards without setup
That combination makes the net more than just a Hunter tool. It feeds directly into multiple progression systems at once.
How It Fits Into Hunter Progression
Hunter progression in Leagues 6 moves fast, but the butterfly net keeps its value longer than expected.
It handles implings early, and later it becomes something you keep on hand whenever you pass them. Even after switching to other methods, it is still worth grabbing nearby implings when you see them.
It ends up being one of those tools that never fully drops out of use.
Known Quirks And League Behavior
There are a few details tied to the butterfly net in Leagues 6.
External loot trackers can overcount implings because of reward multipliers. This does not affect actual rewards, but it can make tracking inaccurate.
The built in impling tracker on the net avoids that issue completely and gives the correct numbers.
There are also some Hunter related inconsistencies where certain butterfly tasks or rumours may not register properly, though these are being addressed.
Final Blurb
The butterfly net is a simple item that ends up doing more than expected in OSRS Leagues 6. It supports early progression, keeps impling rewards flowing, and gives you a reliable way to track your catches accurately.
Picking it up early from the Hunter Guild and keeping it on hand pays off the entire time you are progressing through Hunter and tasks.
