Spider Silk Drop Rates

Drueric · #1 03-08-2023, 10:01 PM

Something has changed with the drop rates on spider silk for some spiders. From my recent experience, it seems the drop rates have been lowered heavily in everfrost and in northern desert of ro. Those are the only 2 places Ive been to try collecting silk since the last update.

ATM< im in nro and have killed about 30 spiders so far and found a grand total of 4 silk.
I moved here from everfrost(barbarian shaman) because silks on the spiders there were pretty much non existent. I think I found like 2 silks in a week of hunting there.

Something is wrong with these drop rates. Last time I hunted silks in nro was several months ago on a new character, and I found plenty of silk then. Something has changed.

Have you tried EK crag spiders? That's the best place to farm spider silk.

(The best place to farm spiderling silk is that hidden crypt in Field of Bone.)

This topic isnt about where the best place is. And no that isnt the best place.

Been killing crags and I’ve been getting as little as 2, as many as 8. On average though 4-5 a kill. I tried to unload them in the tunnel on two different nights with no bites, literally ended up vendoring them. Let me know if you need silks, I’ll be farming the spiders for the next couple levels.

Peika in game.

I went to the actual best place to farm silk and filled my bags in a couple hours.

EK?

No, raven... I'm going to say that Dru's huge secret hunting grounds is probably upper guk. Static spawns, lower level spiders and about the same drop rate as EK... and less competition for the spawns, generally.

Oh, sorry, Dru... did I give away your secret?

Not EK, not Guk. But I hadnt considered guk as a possible place to farm silk. And I wont tell [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
