  • Spiders that give xp at 54 are there any?

    Hello all,
    Just wondering if anyone knows of spiders that drops silks that still give xp at 54? Just wondering I wouldn't even care much if they were lb going to be all going into AA anyways, just wondering if there were any out there before I head off to EK and for 6 hours collecting silks and cat pelts ( for mana vials enchanter alt ) Thanks for the answers back, I think there might be a few spiders in DL that are lblue. How is the drop rate on silks form thouse? can't say that I have ever farmed them as I usually run through DL as fast as possible Ok thanks again

    I'm sure the spiders, in PoN, who drop Nightmare Arachnid Silk would be good exp for you.

      Was looking for old world silks for Wu's

      Sorry about that should have been more clear. Was looking for old world silks for Wu's to get my tailoring into the 150's so I can start farming hoppers for hides. Thanks Lilosh for that thought thou, I would like to start doing some AA in thouse zones and would be good to get some drops for some tradeskills while at it.

        Some of the spiders in DL will still give light blue or occasionally blue experience. Hardest spiders there range from level 37 to 41.

            Spiders/LDC's in SolB will give you exp as well, albeit not very much.

              LDC will give experience till 60. Pre PoP exp nerf that was the favorite solo level spot for monks 55+. Even post PoP xp nerf its a good change of pace.

                Giant Wooly spiders in Perma (in the basement), there aren't many of them at any one time though. Max level 47.

                  I somehow doubt they nerfed the experience with PoP. If you take a level 59 monk there, he would probably get the same experience he would have 6 months ago.

                  Now, If you consider a level 61 monk not being able to hunt in the same places as a level 59-60 a "nerf", then I have no footing to stand on to argue with you.

                  Now, not having a level 55-60 character, I may be wrong. But from what I understood, they simply wrote the exp system for 61-65 so they were forced to hunt in the planes. Not reduced exp for the Sub-61 crowd.

                  But I could be wrong, as I stated.

                    Lilosh,

                    I think the nerf he is referring to is that Pop exp goes way faster than any other exp in the game.

                    You could spend all weekend killing those spiders (with their darn nasty dot) and not get the same exp you would have gotten from a couple hours grouped in PoN/PoI/PoD.

                    Or he could be referring tot he light blue nerf, where those gave significantly less exp... but I don't think that was with pop.

                      Hi there,

                      Actually I believe the nerf he is referring to is the one where they changed the exp formula for people 50 plus so LB cons gave less exp than normal and even, yellow and red cons gave more exp than normal.

                      However, This was introduced and removed at the exact same time as they did the level progression smoothing(hell level removal) for levels 50 through 60. This caused a bunch of confusion and has led many people (not me) to think that they did not remove the Nerf like they said they did.

                      In summation if you were to go back and compare exp bar movement pre-pop and now you would notice a difference in how the bar progresses, however this would be entirely do to the removal of the post 50 hell levels and has nothing to do with the experience change that they had implemented, and removed when the entire playerbase screamed bloody murder.

                        Dont waste your time on Wu's. Go to PoN with a group and kill creepers. You can setup at docks and pull them or setup to the south on the slope above river (between creepers and slargs).

                        A good days farming of creepers will get you an easy backpack of Nightmare Silks. Combine 2 of those with a Clump of Wax (Fletching Vendor) to make a Nightmare Silk String for Fletching. Trivial 162 and excellent XP for a single group.

                        Strings will sell back to vendors for just under 7pp (or if you know a fletcher, talk to them). Wax costs just under 5pp I think. You're losing a little when you consider you could sell silks to vendors for cash, but it's xp while farming skill up items and that's just good.

                        I went from 0 skill to 162 on Nightmare Bow Strings. Took ~1 hour of clicking and ~1 week of camping Creepers. Got me 61-63, 5-6 decent drops (Consorts), more ethereal parchment than I knew what to do with, and took out the Terror Matriarch twice (won 20k earring and 8k sleeves). Compare that to farming silks to make Wu's :roll:

                          I'll second the suggestion to fight lava duct crawlers, they'll be blue/light blue and you should be able to solo them. They drop up to 4-5 silks at once that I have seen, and usually around 4-7pp too.
