55 and ss/sv Spider Capping

Just a quick question, when people are capping two spiders, what is the second Monument they try to clear? The Mountain makes the most sense, but appears to be a ton of work because of HS. Any advice?

One is the village and the other one is where dryders spawn near the smite area.

How do you beat the quest the Ice Reaper gives you with a 55 and an ss/sv? Seems nigh on impossible.

I could be wrong as it has been ages since I have PvE'd in Fow or UW and when I did I never 100% cleared UW but.. the mountain and vale are the only monuments to spawn spiders. I have not cleared the final Chaos Plane monument before though but as it is past all the mesmer type bosses that would be outside a 2man run.
Speed wise I would think it faster to just start a second trip into the Vale rather than try to trek thru to the mountain and kill the dog(demon dog thingie forget the name) and deal with Natures Renewal....ya just restart. If you really want some profit do a smite run when your done too but imo it would be more effort than reward to go thru both unless its a full group with 2 who would like to while clearing it all out.

All the monuments spawn spiders. I have 100% cleared the place, killed many spiders enroute too

We're debating doing the Unwanted Guests quest. We'll see....

18 terrorwebs is more than we can handle right now. Advice anybody?

Monk casts Spell breaker.
5 (or something like that) seconds later, cast prot spirit. Necromancer takes quest.

All the meteor showers are stopped. Monk runs backwards slightly to group the terrors closer as they chase, then runs back near them. Necro begins spiting.

3-4 should die, 2nd wave spawn. Monk casts recharged SB, no new meteor showers hit. Monk stands still, necro continues spiting.

3rd wave spawns, monk casts SB again. Finish quest.


Unwanted Guests is quite easy, but it doesn't spawn a spider You need to finish restore monuments and escort too.

tbh, all is pretty easy, if you know how to do it :P
but the mindblades can drop ectos after all

but even if you dont cap spider, kill ti, its 50xp after all :P

Thanks Avarre. We ran through it again last night and did well enough that we figure the terrorwebs are do-able, practice makes perfect.

Is 'restore' the quest that makes a spider spawn at the Labyrinth?

You have to finish all the quests give by the reaper for the spider to spawn afaik.

Understood, we just tried unwanted guests but the first group of vengefuls glitched out after their keeper bit it, they aggro'd onto the reaper.

We did manage to take out all 18 terrorwebs though, all that was needed was to cast SB a bit early like you mentioned. Thanks.

Most vengefuls don't die when the keeper does, they won't go down till you break aggro. I have no idea why this is.

For the first group, after killing the terrorwebs, the monk tanks vengefuls out of reaper aggro, and the nec kills the keeper. Then the necro uses the reaper to teleport to vale/waste, and since you are quite far out of aggro, the vengefuls die

The majority of the other keepers can be killed without aggroing the vengefuls.

Heh, we pretty much did that. Teleported behind them first to get at the keepers easier, for the last group we broke aggro like you described. I even managed to think of that myself

cast SB wate 8 sec, call proto nec takes guest ez as pie
(as long as nec stays out of arggo)
