Spiderweb



A Spiderweb is a barrier found in some poorly-maintained corridors, especially those found underground. For example, there is a spiderweb just east of the deadly red spiders in Varrock Sewers.

Players can left-click on some spiderwebs to attempt to pass through them, though this will not always be successful. Failure does not have any particular consequences, except that players will need to keep trying until they succeed.

Some spiderwebs require players to use a blade (such as a knife, an axe or a bladed weapon (such as a sword) on the web to slash it before they can pass through. This is very inconvenient if players encounter a web whilst not carrying one of these items, especially when they are far from a bank.

The first webs that did not need a blade to cut through may have been those introduced in the 2007 Hallowe'en event. However, the web in Varrock Sewers no longer needs a blade, and all webs may have been changed to reduce the inconvenience to players.

However, the Knowledge Base still states that players need a blade to cut through some webs in some places, including the Mage Arena, the shortcut from the castle in East Ardougne to the Deserted Keep and the Yanille Agility dungeon.
