The Steppes - Spider Cave #2

[Taiglin]

Spent a bit of time in here yesterday to try places out. 3 Box: 71 Bst, 70 Dru, 68 Mage. Coming up from the Mesa the cave was the second cave system on the east side of the zone going north. Spiders inside conned 50/50 lt blue/db at 71. All db at 68. Fairly easy, resisted poison 95% of the time, xp wasn't anything to write home about but tough to be accurate as I don't track that sort of thing usually (ok THIS mob I will look at my start/finish xp bar...oops. Ok THIS mob...oops) and I was finishing up a LAA. Hits were in the 600 range but frankly that is another thing I don't track well =)

Aggro radius was crazy small and once I was in the groove I could keep them all down. Mob count was maybe 13+/-. You can set up in the tunnel after the initial kink/turn to the left and before it drops down. No wanderer from outside and while a spider will path to where the tunnel drops down he does not come up past that point.

Loot was some basic gems (ie jade, amber), spider silks (0-3; 1 most common), some other vendor stuff that sold for ~20pp and ~40pp, and did loot 1 frost covered chain link (T1 armor piece).

Edit: Based on the zone level (60-70) this should probably be moved to the 65-70 section probably.

Edit2: Tracked and killed a named spider in the back of this cave. Based on the other named in the Steppes/IFG line it is probably a static spawn. As you go into the tunnel there is a fork then ends up going into the same room. Take the right fork and go straight back into the room. I don't think he was one of the walking spiders. Deathfang
