Requirements

Access and practical preparation

Wilderness Hard Diary or Venenatis boss task

Either grants access to Web Chasm; an ordinary spider task does not bypass the diary.

Level 29 Wilderness

The arena is singles-plus and applies a three-tick teleport delay when another player enters unless the Hard Diary is complete.

Crush weapon

Spindel is weakest to crush, with the Ursine chainmace as the strongest purpose-built Wilderness option.

  • Ursine chainmace
  • Bandos chestplate and Bandos tassets as protected items

Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Start with the exit in view

Enter Web Chasm with the three-tick teleport delay and carried death loss already understood.

2

Use crush and circle the arena

Protect from Melee and attack with the crush weapon while moving around the edge so webs do not remove the central route.

3

Clear spiderlings deliberately

Kill the red spiderling before it heals Spindel, then remove the green and blue effects before returning to the boss.

4

Teleport on player contact

Use the Royal seed pod immediately when eligible; do not wait for the player to close the cave distance.

YOUR ESTIMATE

Risk-adjusted profitability

The Wiki Estimate seeds loot and supply fields from current market inputs when available. Every assumption remains editable and your saved values take priority.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Dragon mace -> Ursine chainmace

The Wilderness crush weapon directly targets Spindel's lowest defence.

Major upgrade
2

Dragon defender -> Avernic defender

Add the one-handed off-hand only after checking how it changes protected items and death loss.

Moderate upgrade
3

Add chinchompas for spiderlings

The optional switch clears clustered spiderlings quickly without changing the primary crush setup.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring web movement

Losing position during spiderlings

Mishandling exit awareness: Keep the cave entrance visible throughout the kill.
