The '''sapphire glacialis''' is a [[butterfly (Hunter)|butterfly]] that players can capture with the [[Hunter]] skill at level 25 or above, granting 34 Hunter [[experience]]. Players with level 35 Hunter can catch them barehanded. Sapphire glacialis may be assigned as a [[Hunters' Rumours|hunters' rumour task]] by [[Huntmaster Gilman (Novice)|Huntmaster Gilman]].


When released from a [[butterfly jar]], or captured without a jar, sapphire glacialis will boost the player's [[Defence]] level by 4 + 15% of their Defence level, rounded down. [[Sapphire glacialis (item)|Jarred sapphire glacialis]] may be used in [[Multicombat area|multicombat areas]] to share the Defence boost with up to three nearby players, provided that they have [[Accept Aid]] toggled on.

==Hunting technique==
As is the case for all other [[Butterfly (Hunter)|butterflies]], the player must be wielding either a [[butterfly net]] or a [[magic butterfly net]]. If the player's Hunter skill is at least 10 levels above the requirement, they may instead catch the sapphire glacialis barehanded. One jar is needed for each butterfly you wish to keep. Butterfly jars and butterfly nets are available for purchase in [[Hunter shops]].

A good place to catch them is on the second level of the [[Rellekka Hunter area]], near the stairs. There are two spawns close to each other with small wander distances.
