The Frost Spider is a very quick spider that attacks on sight. Unlike the giant spider it isn't poisonous. It needs 74.7 Animal Taming and carries spider's silk.

Overview

  • In-game name: a frost spider
  • Corpse: a frost spider corpse
  • Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.

Stats

Stat Value
Strength 76–100
Dexterity 126–145
Intelligence 36–60
Hit points 46–60
Stamina 126–145 (same as its Dexterity)
Mana 0
Melee damage 6–16
Armor rating 28
Fame / Karma 775 / −775

Skills

Skill Range
Wrestling 50.1–65.0
Tactics 35.1–50.0
Magic Resistance 25.1–40.0

Taming

Requirement Value
Minimum Animal Taming 74.7 (below this you have no chance)
Control slots 1
Maximum owners 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame)
Bonding Yes
Rideable No
Favorite food Meat
  • Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about 51% at 100.0 skill, and it improves as your skill rises. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
  • Don't hurt it. If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with "The animal is too angry to continue taming."
  • Stay close. You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
  • Obedience. Once tamed, how often it obeys depends on your Animal Taming and Animal Lore (taming counts four times as much as lore). With both at 74.7 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 79.6 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 74.7 the chance drops quickly, to as low as 22%.
  • Re-taming. If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds ("That wasn't even challenging.").
  • After its first tame, its skills drop to 90% of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.

Pack instinct

Frost spiders hunt better in groups. When several of your pets from the same pack group (the arachnid group: giant spiders, frost spiders and scorpions) attack the same creature while standing next to it (within 1 tile), each gets extra melee damage:

  • 2 pets: +25%
  • 3 pets: +50%
  • 4 pets: +75%
  • 5 or more: +100%

All the pets must have the same owner. The bonus only applies against other creatures, not against players.

Bonding

Only the owner can bond with a frost spider, and they need at least 74.7 Animal Taming (base skill). Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after 7 days to finish. When you see "Your pet has bonded with you!", it's done.

Loot

Every frost spider carries:

  • 7 Spider's Silk
  • Gold: about 31–100 in total (from its "Meager" and "Poor" loot)

It may also carry:

  • A magic weapon, armor, shield or jewelry (up to 2 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
  • A musical instrument (well under 1%: about 0.12%)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Location

  • The Deceit brazier: double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.

Tips

  • It attacks on sight, but it has no poison.
  • At 100.0 skill each attempt has about a 51% chance.
  • Its Dexterity (126–145) is very high, so it swings often.
  • It shares the arachnid pack group with scorpions and giant spiders.
  • Its corpse always holds 7 spider's silk. There's nothing to carve.
