Here is yet another item which one may either fail to loot or sell to a vendor. I would suggest that you either auction this one off (for around a gold a piece) or keep it if one of your professions is either leatherworking or tailoring. It is used to make both of these rare items:
Toughened Leather Gloves (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=1411/withered-staff) and
Spidersilk Boots (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=38558)

Although they are lower level items, the stats are good and they sell for a decent price on the AH.

Anyone mind tipping me and everyone else that reads this where to farm this stuff? I remember picking up a decent amount from the various mobs nearly everywhere listed through my lvling, but failed to take note of its usefulness.

Ive been through the north mountain edge of Arathi Highlands for nearly 3 hours and haven't had one drop. Rather aggrivating.

Commento di Robification

If you come upon this item and get more of them I would suggest to put them on the AH. Casters that have tailoring need this mat for the Spider silk boots. There are usually none up for sale on my server so its good money.

Commento di 78570

along the northern arathi mountains in about 2 hours of grinding i got 7 spider silk and 2 thick spider silk. so i guess its kinda luck

This is what it should be.

Dang, this stuff IS hard to come by! I searched the whole auction house, and there was none to be found, so i came here and fought the forest moss creepers for an hour in the Hillsbrad foothills just to receive 2 Spider's silk. A note to those of you who have some, don't you dare think about selling it to just any merchant, I would have gladly paid a gold for each one I came across!

Commento di 80916

These sell for quite a lot on the Auction House relative to their drop rate. Anyone in their 30s should slaughter every spider from Refuge Pointe or Hammerfall to their quest location. If you're a tailor, stock up on them, you won't regret it.

Commento di 131970

It's such a huge pain to get this item. What's the best place to farm for it? I've heard that Duskwood is, although I had some success (I got two in like twenty to thirty minutes) in the Hillsbrad Foothills.

Commento di Shocker74

The best grinding place for these i think is in Sishir Canyon, a small valley in Stonetalon Mountain, that resides just a bit below Sun Rock Retreat. Been there several times, and always leave with 5-10 silk's for about 30 mins. work.

Commento di valschic

Farming the giant spiders in Arathi for 30 minutes yielded the following results - https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=2565

11 Spider's Silks
5 Thick Spider's Silks
4 Large Fangs
36 stacks of spider meat/vendor stuff
2 greens

The regular Spider's Silks sell for a lot b/c they're used for 2 tailoring rares as well as Robes of Arcana for warlock quest.

Anyway, happy farming :)

"Sometimes certain of these mobs drop like 25/100, and sometimes thottbot says 10% and I kill 50 mobs and don't get any."
The percentage that thottbot gives you is an average counted over droprates that change all the time. Something like dynamic or rotating loot-tables, implemented in mmorpgs to mislead farmers that use tools like thottbot.
The only true info is that the spiders in the list all dropped this once and that has been recorded, but it doesnt say it will still drop it at this moment on each server at the exact droprate thottbot says...

Commento di Thottbot

Now over the time I've been leatherworking, Toughened Leather Gloves seen to be in near constant demand. Well, the other materials are usually easy, but the Spider's Silk is always the problem. Well, being one who hates relying on others (in this case the Auction House's silk), I have traveled the world of Azeroth searching for it.

I have come up with three main hotspots:
1. The Deepmoss Spiders up in the Stonetalon Mountains
2. The Plains Creepers of Arathari
3. Any of the spiders of Ashenvale

While I may call these "hotspots," it can take a long time to gather your silk quota. Its something you have to get used to.

Commento di Thottbot

I believe that the best place to loot spider's silk is Hillsbrad Foothills and Stonetalon Mountains.Best drop rates are there.In these 2 areas,I had spider's silk dropped after I had killed 4 to 8 spiders.

Commento di Thottbot

I found the best place to farm this was South Hillsbrad, around Dun'Garok. The Elder Moss Creepers there dropped one every 2-3 kills for me, lvl 28 mage. Quite easy, good for grinding too. Sell for a buttload also so great for tailoring around 120 or lots of cash.

Commento di Thottbot

Just farmed the 8 i needed for an alt between dabyries farmstean and northfold manor took me 40 mins in that time i got 8 spider's silk and 6 Thick Spider's silk plus was grinding on raptors for medium leather

Commento di Thottbot

I have a theory as to why Spider's Silk in particular is so expensive on the AH, and the above comment about economics touches on this. Spider's Silk is an ingredient for Robes of Arcana, something that just about every Warlock will eventually need when they hit Level 30 or so.

The pattern for it is relatively difficult to find (especially for Horde), and even then many Lock's are not tailors, so a fair number of Locks need to buy the Robes from the AH or another player. I've seen the Robes on the AH's of various servers with a buyout price of anywhere from 4g to 15g, which can be pretty steep for a Level 30; the reason for the huge price tag is twofold - 1: Locks NEED to get the Robe; that makes it a seller's market so mark-ups are huge. 2: There is a perception in WoW that Locks are rich cuz they don't have to pay for mounts (not actually true - they pay twice as much for new skills as they have to pay for their pet upgrades as well, unlike hunters), and so prices are set by what the sellers feel the market can bear.

Anyway, all of that combined with the relative rarity of Spider's Silk dropping means that Spider's Silk will sell for lots of cash - most players know that whoever wants it is going to use it to make an item that they will then sell for huge profits, and so they want to get their share of that. Of course, many "Producers" of said items pass on the production costs, which drives up the sale price of the items, which in turn drives up the component price, and so on.

Sort of like selling twink items - you don't sell Level 29 items expecting an actual 29th Level main will buy it - you're selling it to some 70th Level main so they can give it to their 29th Level Twink Alt.

Anyway, that's just how it is. My advice? Better off farming it yourself - even if the area's too low for you to get XP, you get vendor items and free ingredients, which means greater profits and gets you that much closer to that Epic Mount you've always wanted...

Commento di Thottbot

With regards to where to sell the garbage from hunting spiders in Duskwood, if memory serves, there is a goblin vendor on the second floor of one of the houses in Raven Hill. Much better than having to run to Goldshire or Darkshire to sell junk!

Commento di Thottbot

this item should be the "lesser essence" to the thick silks "greater essence" lol... just separate and voala! 3 spider silk from 1 thick... its the same silk! its just thicker! so make it less thick and there u go... blizz get real

Commento di Thottbot

The best place I have found for farming Spider Silk (not thick or shadow) is near Forest Song in Ashenvale. Just a little west or east of Forest Song, there are many 28ish spiders (wildthorn lurkers) that drop it, especially between Forest Song and Xavian. I got 5 off of about 15 kills yesterday, and I always go back there when I need more. With the new patch, there is even a flight path there now. Just make sure you don't go too far east of Forest Song, or the level ? Dragons will zap you.

You can get lots of Thick Spider's Silk and Shadow Silk from the level 37ish Darkmist and Darkfang spiders near the cave in NW Dustwallow marsh.

Just spent 1.5 hours farming arathi (all around refuge point) for spidersilk and found that after killing 80 spiders from lvl 32-35 i ended up with

3 thick spidersilk
14 spidersilk
50+ crisp spider meat
150+ spider legs

i just wanted to post the good luck? seems like everyone in arathi is having trouble. If ur on shuhalo server msg codi and give me 2 spidersilk and ill make the robe for free.

gl peeps

Commento di Thottbot

First post ever on thottbot.... woot! Okay, I went cruising around Arathi Highlands for about an hour and came out with about 12 spider silks, 2 greens, and 4 spider silks. Honestly, in my opinion, Arathi Highlands, out of all the other places tried, is DEFINITELY the place to be for spider silks.

Commento di Allakhazam

I don't see either Spider's Silk or Thick Spider's Silk drops listed for Swamp of Sorrows. This is actually a good place to get them. The spiders are all along the south eastern part of the area, they're lvl40-41, and there is no other mob around except the occasional Shadow Panther (lvl43). They respawn fast, so you can just walk back and forth killing them, and the drop rate is not too bad. There's rarely anyone else in the area, so it may even be pretty decent for PvP servers.

Commento di Allakhazam

Best place to farm for this is in duskwood between Raven hill and the mountain towards Darkshire, most drop off of Black Widow Hatchling's. Just do circles and the spiders will have respawned by time you do a full circle around the ridge inbetween the mountain and raven hill.

Commento di Allakhazam

yup usually closer 1.5g ea on bloodhoof - this is an extremely rare material!

Commento di Allakhazam

Great thing to farm on Feathermoon server. 0ne starts at about 1G for the most part. I like to farm those wetland spider the most seeing as that's all I can handle and there are ALOT.

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know where the merchant that sells these is located. Thanks in advance.

Commento di Allakhazam

um i not that great with percentages so cauld anyone plz tell me a good place to farm iam a lvl 35 thnx in advance

Commento di Allakhazam

lol I feel lucky, 2 off about 5 spiders in Ashenvale, the level 24-25.

Commento di Allakhazam

Half of you are so lucky on Neptulon (european PVP server) its 5g buyout for 1 Silk!

:'(

Commento di Allakhazam

arathi, 125 spiders(+-10) = 3 (!) silk

no commends.....

Commento di Allakhazam

I sold a stack of 4 for 6g on Skywall

Commento di Allakhazam

There are a ton of them in Arathi Highlands (near Northfold Manor in North Northwest part of zone and near Witherbark Village in Southeast part of zone) There are lots of raptor and bird adds (lvl 35-36 Fleshstalkers and Mesa Buzzards) near SE spiders; smaller lvl 33 raptors (but with rather large aggro radius IMO) near/among northern spiders. I would clear one area out then run to the other and repeat as necessary. I rarely see other players in these areas unless they are going to Northfold Manor to hunt Syndicate mobs or Witherbark village to hunt trolls for the Refuge Point quests.

I got 12-16 pieces of Spider's Silk a night (also 4-6 Thick Spider's Silk, innumerable Crisp Spider Meat (functionally useless unless you love Redridge Goulash, sold it or fed it to pet), Crunchy Spider Leg (sold, fed to pet (counts as meat)), Gooey Spider leg (used in Gooey Spider Cake), also got 2-4 Large Fangs and about 4-6 green items (and one blue item (!) off a Mesa Buzzard that added to a spider fight). I still get xp for them so that's not a bad haul each night.

Higher level spiders (like the lava spiders in Searing Gorge) seem more likely to drop Thick Spider's Silk, Ironweb Silk, or Shadow Silk than the Spider's Silk used in so many Tailoring and Leatherworking recipes.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got a lot of spider silk in the eastern part of the Arathi Highlands. The area south of Hammerfist has plenty of plains creepers (don't get too close to hammerfall if you're alliance of course). I found they were dropping spider silk at a rate of a little below 10%. they also dropper heavy spider silk at about the same rate. They're about level 32-33 and they're not a hard kill for anyone around the same level, even if you take on more than 1. They also tend to drop a lot of spider legs, spider meat etc. Most of that is vendor trash you can sell for a modest amount but some of it's useful for things like cooking if you hae the right recipes. Only other mobs in the immediate area are raptors and buzzards so if you have a quest to do in the area like Raising Spirits it's an added bonus.
If you're a little higher in level you can move west a bit and take on giant plains creepers. theyre a few levels higher and seem to drop at about the same rate, though I haven't killed enough of them to be sure yet. On my server the spider silk goes for a little over 1g in the horde AH and about 70-80s in the alliance AH.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got one of these off a spider in Hillsbrad today. I think pretty much all spiders have a chance to drop it...albeit a low percentage.

Commento di Allakhazam

this drops 5% of the time on average. And this could vary depending on the level of the spider.. the higher the level the higher the chance of dropping.

THis is NOT worth 75s... Its droprate is actually quite high compared to rare gems like Moss agates.

Commento di Allakhazam

I farmed for this item from the deepmoss spiders in Stonetalon mountains (the valley with the elite spider in it, besselith i think her name is). The drop rate is slightly lower than the ones found in Arathi, but the mobs are more concentrated and they respawn FAST. got 4 of these after killing 100+ within 30 minutes with my 42 warlock

Commento di Allakhazam

I wanted some Spider's Silk so I went to Astranaar and killed only 5, thats right only 5, Wildthorn Stalkers and I got 2 Spider's Silk out of the 5.

Commento di Allakhazam

Yeah, on Stormrage they go for 60s - 1.2g. I'm planning on heading up to Stonetalon, hopefully it won't take more than a few DAYS of grinding to get the silk I need. Anyone on Stormrage looking to unload, feel free to pst Doomgaze and we can deal.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just got back from Farming Thelgen Rock in wetlands for Spider Silk.... got 2 stacks in about an hour.

Commento di Allakhazam

Starts at 1g on shadowsong...

Commento di Allakhazam

The cost of Spider's Silk at the Horde AH on Dalvengyr isn't too bad (compared to some other servers, I mean) - usually the buyout is somewhere in the range of 75s each.

Still, at that price, I'll be spending a day just farming the Spider's Silk, plus I've got a lot of tailoring recipes recently that need it.

Commento di Allakhazam

how much per 1 spider silk?

Commento di Allakhazam

Admittedly I wasn't paying much attention at the time but while exploring stonetalon mtns I fought a number of spiders and broke open spider egg sacks that are scattered about on the ground quivering hehe. Got silk of some kind or other off both spiders and from egg sacks. Can also spawn a spider when you break open a sack so be careful.

Commento di Allakhazam

I remember these being an incredibly rare drop when my warlock was questing in Tarren Mill. Well, I went back there today to farm some silk for some boots for my priest, spent about 12 minutes farming elders in the Tarren Mill area, and dropped a couple of giant spiders too and got the 4 silk I need to craft the boots. I just used shadow bolt on them since I couldn't really be bothered to do anything else. I suggest if you want quick kills, and can deal roughly ~700 damage per hit, then the Tarren Mill area is quite nice (check the map for elders for the exact location).

Commento di Allakhazam

It's really hard to grind this stuff... Drop percentages seem to vary widely--sometimes I'll get one every 5 kills, other times I'll kill more than 50 without a single drop. Annoying.

And they start at 1G/per on my server.

Commento di Allakhazam

The drop rate is far below what's listed here. On Lightbringer, these sell @ 2-4g each and theres never more than a dozen for sale, if any. I thought I'd try to speed farm them from Duskwood, cuz my warrior can 1 hit kill the spiders there. Over 450 kills and NOT ONE SILK. I picked up 31 greens and 4 blues, but no silk. I spent my whole morning for nothing. Then I went to Arathi Highlands and killed the giant spiders there for an hour and picked up 4 silk and 3 thick silk. Pissed was a good word to describe me. Oh well though.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just noticed that it says:
Elwynn Forest:
Black Widow Hatchling (20 - 25) 6.09% (100791) Green Recluse (20 - 22) 5.14% (23651)
Plains Creeper (28 - 33) 9.48% (81125) Pygmy Venom Web Spider (15 - 19) 4.16% (79909)
Venom Web Spider (18 - 20) 4.15% (62572)

Last time I checked there was nothhing that lvl in Elwynn Forest. For future reference, who should I notify of these types of errors?

Commento di Allakhazam

Okay, I am a lvl 58 hunter, OMW to hammerfall in the Highlands i killed several spiders within 5 mins and looted about 7 of these from like 10 spidys so rare i think not, and the only reason they sell for 1G is b/c thats what overpricing noobs charge. OMG it's Spider silk, something used in alot of lowbie gear. Get a clue.

Commento di Allakhazam

Got 4 of these for my Spidersilk Boots in just 20 minutes grinding in Stonetalon Mts. I'll definitly be farming for some more there sometime soon.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just grabbed 4 from 'Thelgen Rock Cave' (53,63) in the wetlands, Lev 26 warlock, all spiders around lev 22... I got the 4 just going in and out in one trip.

Killed all spiders twice so about 60 spiders I guess, so approx a 15% drop rate.

Commento di Allakhazam

found a bunch in the cave near Dun Algaz in wetlands, and the mobs are only low- to mid-level spiders.

Commento di Allakhazam

Spider silk is a money maker. I am on Daggerspine and I list them with a 1G buyout and they sell so fast I cna't believe it.

I love when I find one on a drop....it's money in the bank.

Commento di Allakhazam

This is really the most wanted and worst dropped item in game!

Wildhorn Lurkers in Ashenvale have a drop rate around 7.4% but still its very hard to find!

I really need them for 2x Toughened Leather Gloves!

Commento di Allakhazam

On Magtheridon they go for about 1-2g a unit, 8g for 2 units and the stacks goes for 30g each.

I found that Hillsbrad footing is quite easy, the spiders are around lvl 20-21 and they drop it every +-10-15 spiders killed. The only thing is there's also bears 21-22 but they are easy to kill. I've been farming these with my lvl 18 warlock and didn't have any issues.

Commento di Allakhazam

I play both factions on trollbane and I found that it sells in the horde AH for a lot more than it does on the alliance AH. Kinda a bummer since it's my horde character who actually needs it and my alliance character who would rather profit by selling it.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got one off a spider in Elwynn Forest recently, admittedly I was quite surprised.

Commento di Allakhazam

i sold 20 of these for one gold now i feel stupid =(

Commento di Allakhazam

I have had pretty good luck with this stuff, enough to keep my Tailor happy. Recently I had occasion to make a newly created Draenel Priest some good gear, among which was a pair of Spidersilk Boots.

Sending my level 41 Paladin around to the various spots for materials (just because he was the one available at the time), I decided to wallop the Duskwood spiders, and did quite well. It doesn't matter so much the percentage drop rate if you can kill them in a few seconds-- economy of scale as it were. I got at least one from each of Green Recluses, Pygmy Venom Web Spiders, Venom Web Spiders, and Black Widow Hatchlings.

While there are other places to get spiders-- Thelgen Rock is also a good site-- Duskwood has enough of them so that you can go kill-crazy and fill your bags with the silk. It's my farming area of choice for this material, less rare than some would have you think. Of course, not everyone knows this, so it still goes for 102g each on the Alliance AH in Silver Hand.

Commento di Allakhazam

25s nothin, Kil'Jaeden its 50s at least, its rediculous...

Commento di Allakhazam

The drop rate is rediculous for this item, considering how many you need for tailoring. I'm working on getting my Enchanted Gold BloodRobe and I need just 2 pieces of Silk so my tailor can make the Robes of Arcana.

I've killed a few hundered Creepers now and only have 1 silk to show for it. I have standing order with friends not to sell/trade/auction any they find. One of the more painful pieces to procure.

Commento di Allakhazam

lol, there absoultely NONE on Magtheridon >.<

Commento di zedwards

Haven't seen these drop in Arathi or Hillsbrad in classic. The Wetlands cave has been the most successful.

Commento di zlloyd1

I cannot find any place at all to try and farm these....
The mobs that are claimed to drop them are almost nonexistent, and even when you can find a few they have an abysmal drop rate of this stuff.
Is this really the RAREST mat in the game, and if so WHY?
Why would Blizzard make it so a necessary material is impossible to get ahold of?

Commento di Turanga93

I killed 208 Cave Stalker Cave Stalker and I get only 5 of these Spider's Silk
Which means 40 kills for 1 silk.
I am doing it only for the boots Spidersilk Boots
But maaan these are pretty!

Commento di SpareSimian

With the release of AQ, the price of Spider's Silk has crashed as people farm LBRS spiders for Large Venom Sac to deal with the raid's poisons.

Commento di Glandrian

I farmed for these in Arathi Highlands in the very north hills. On my level 45 lock for 30 minutes I killed 45 Greater plains creepers and managed to get 6 spider's silks along with 4 thick spider's silk

Commento di Zodlike

I got one of these from a spider in East Ashenvale near Satyrnaar on my first kill; I killed a few more and ended up with three. I suspect this is the best place to farm but unfortunately you will be too high a lvl to make use of them, so if you want for an alt I recommend you try farming there. (BCClassic)
