How to Get Vespoid Carapace

Carve from Vespoids in High Rank Locations

Vespoid Carapace can be obtained by carving the carcasses of Vespoids in High Rank. Use your Throwing Knife to kill them without shattering their bodies. Weapons aren't recommended for killing them because they can shatter, leaving you unable to carve.

Vespoids are commonly found in areas 6, 8, and 13 of the Scarlet Forest and you can find them easily by opening your map then filter by small monsters. Set a waypoint and follow the scoutflies to their location.

Scarlet Forest Map and Location Guide

Poison Smoke Bombs Kill Swarms Quickly

Poison Smoke Bombs are a reliable way to quickly kill Vespoid swarms without shattering them. Simply stand in the middle of a swarm then use a Poison Smoke Bomb at the ground and they will fall in no time, allowing you to carve.

You can craft Poison Smoke Bombs by combining Smokenuts and Toadstools.

How to Craft Items

Lure Vespoids to Poisoncups

Lure to Poisoncups

If you don't have the spare mats to craft Poison Smoke Bombs, you can lure Vespoids to nearby Poisoncups. Be wary though as you can get poisoned yourself!

Equip Entomologist Skill

An alternate way to reliably carve Vespoids is to use the Bulaqchi Armor Set. It has the Entomologist Skill which makes it so Vespoids do not get destroyed when killed, letting you carve them.
