Black Widow Capture?
I Might Avenge U
Does anybody know the general Spider Capping build and whatnot? I'm just curious, as I might try to go and capture a black Widow with a friend, And I want to know if there's a good ranger build, and map route. I'm pretty sure it's not very easy, so any help is appreciated..

No offense, but I don't see much input coming from you in this thread. A simple "black widow" search on wiki tells me the following information: The Black Widows spawn next to Reapers, when you complete their quests. The easiest quets to complete is the one of the Reaper of the Forgotten Vale, which is located southwest to the entrance point. Wiki also gives you the advice to kill of everything in the Forgotten Vale before you take his quest. I'd say, go with (if possible) a full 8 man party, maybe with a bonder that bonds the tank. Try to go with your guildies, I don't think it's that hard in NM .

You could done it with 3/4-man trapper team (not sure about 2man), never done it thou, but I nearly done but we got killed by 2*Coldfire and earth smaller brother of them, because I forgotten to order team to trap there patrol path :P, but the main problem is that some spirits spawn on a hill outside the village, so you will have to bow them or kill coldfires to get to them

I've been after a dire black widow for about 2 weeks now but for some reason the last 5 runs it's been elder or some other at most of the statues.

Well, to cap a spider, first of course you clear the first area, then go straight and kill everything around the terrorwebs and then eventually kill the terrorwebs. then have 1 person back by the dude that comes out of the ground when u kill the terrorwebs. go to the left and when u get there kill the aatxes then leave the first group of graspings alive(to make sure u dont fail the quest u get later on) then kill the 2nd and 3rd group of graspings. kill the 2 groups of coldfires that patrol close to the monument. then back away from the monument a little and have the guy that waited back take the quest Restoring the Monuments of Grenth. kill the terrorwebs and take the quest from the reaper now just kill all the bad tortured spirit guys and when ur done the spider will be there by the monument in the forgotten vale. and if u can understand anything i typed there, GJ.

Would it be worth trying to tag along with UW-farmers.... or don't they go far enough in to deal with the quest to get the spiders?

uw farmers mostly go the other way towards smites
still guild farmers could make you a favor

I capped spiders for all myself and all my heroes just for the heck of it. I went with 2 heroes and the 3rd spider capping hero. I brought a life barrier bonder and a SS hero with AV/SV. The 3rd hero who capped the spider always brought Famine.
To cap the spider, it takes about 25Min. You need to know the spawns and where to plant your heroes just out of aggro range so they come in to help after you hold aggro. One key step is to clear out the Vale before you take Restoring the Monuments quest. Also when doing Tortured Spirits, drop the bonds on yourself and bond a couple of the good spirits.

Lol, I tried to solo cap the spider ( I'm running low on money ) using this build : http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:R/...peed_Trap_Solo
Exchanging: [skill]Barbed Trap[/skill] for [skill]Charm animal[/skill]
Took me an hour to get to Reaper of the labyrinths.. I think I might take Jin for some extra traps, a rez, and some various other things... Hopefully it'll go much faster >.<
Anywho, Thanks to everyone who responded, and I know it is quite taboo, but I don't head to the UW every day, so I'm still get used to it >.<

The Wiki claims it is rather difficult.... and I'm sceptical as to whether I should try it as I've never laid down a single trap outside of the Shing Jea Ranger-class Training Quests.

Got my Dire Black Widow today
Went with a friend - both trappers - we also took 3 heroes each to help kill the terrorwebs and the tortured souls. Everything else we just trapped!
Very simple! Didnt time it but was done with a minimum of fuss.
In fact we did it again to get another spider for my mate.
More than happy to assist if anyone needs help - and it would be for free!!!
Two proud owners of two Dire Black Widows!!!!

If you're available at the right time, I might try taking you up on that offer somewhat later for my Ranger... once I can get her to somewhere where she might actually access the Underworld...
Then again... maybe my Assassin could go Pseudo-Ranger and get the Spidey treatment? Oddly enough, he DOES have quite a lot of trap-skills unlocked (including Dust Trap).

I've done this with A/R (critical barrager) and three henchies:
Bonder/Prot,
Heal,
Sword Tank (i was inspirated by Helloword post ).
Bonds + Recall + Dark Escape allow you to kill all pop-ups, then, after switching bonds to tank you can take rest of mobs (flag him, allow him to get aggro and slowely move closer with monks). For me most annoying were Coldfires with their Malestorm (it makes tank-hero to loose aggro).

*Does the maths*
Thats around 10pm in Britain.... right? I believe that be right... I should be able to manage it. Will it be alright if I go as an Assassin (Hyun Chae Soon) pretending to be a Ranger? I won't be very good at the trapping, but assuming that the thing can be done THEORETICALLY solo... then surely every extra trap helps... right? If you'd sooner then I can just go standard assassin or put up one of the rather tougher builds. I reckon I could manage a pure Assassin Moebius build with the free slot for spidey-capping. It'd just be that my Ranger primary (Hyun Soo Kim) isn't anything like ready yet... and it'll be a while before I'm ready to take her into the Underworld. Anyway.... fine by me. I Might Avenge U
I Don't Want to the thread as it isn't nessecary, so I'll just Edit this Post.

ign: azure tears Sure I'd be great if you could help out, Can you be on In about 2 hours? The Mancer Man
Okay, done it again and timed - takes about 35-40 minutes with no issues!
That's with two trappers and heroes. Not saying it's the best way but it works. IGn Shadow Ghol SotiCoto
