Spider

Beta

Spiders are found all over RuneScape, but most notably in the Stronghold of Security, where they can be found at combat level 24 and in large numbers. Level 24 spiders are aggressive and can hit up to 60 life points. They can also be found on the third level of the Stronghold of Security, like rats they usually do not appear on the minimap. It should be noted that they can drop charms.

Locations

 * Melzar's Maze every floor, including in the same room as Melzar the Mad and lesser demons
 * Al Kharid (in the house of the Sorceress)
 * Lumbridge castle basement, and in the broken house behind the castle
 * Stronghold of Security (3rd floor, level 24 and level 50 giant spiders )
 * Ape Atoll temple - level 1 type, aggressive to all players and poisonous. They can poison through prayer, like all poisonous monsters. Like Cave slimes, they need not inflict damage to cause poison. Their poison hits 38 LP initially.
 * Ogre Enclave scurrying under the thundering feet of the Ogre leaders and blue dragons. These spiders are visible on the minimap.
 * The Wilderness - all over the ground.
 * East of Yanille - there are 2 spiders near jungle spiders level 44.
 * Haunted Woods - these spiders look similar to the small level 1 type spiders. They are non-aggressive and non-attackable, but will follow you and summon a level 72 Vampyre.

Training
Spiders have recently been discovered to be good for training Magic. Players typically do this by wearing a full melee set to get their magic attack bonus as low as possible in order to splash nearly every spell. This allows them to autocast for an extended period of time with minimal input. Players should not leave their keyboard while doing this, as it is against the rules and could result in offences applied to their account.

The downside to this training method is that players only get the base level experience for casting the spell and none for causing damage, seeing as no damage is inflicted. This makes the experience more expensive in terms of runes to experience points.

Drops

Note: The level 1 spiders in the Lumbridge Castle basement have no regular drops, but very rarely will drop charms.

Trivia

 * In the Haunted Woods west of Port Phasmatys there is a small Spider that has no Combat Level and cannot directly attack a player. However, it will chase after a player as if it were attacking them. Examining the spider results in the game stating, "Nasty little creature."
 * On another note, this spider always seems to summon level 72 Vampires if approached.
 * It was discovered during the 2009 Hallowe'en event that spiders come from the Spider Realm, a different realm to RuneScape.
 * The spider at Ape Atoll Temple spawns every 2 seconds.
 * It seems that the spiders at Ape Atoll are supposed to be Brown recluse spiders.
 * Corpse Spiders in the Lumbridge Catacombs do not count towards a slayer assignment for spiders.
