==Dungeon Mechanics==
=Dungeon Mechanics=
Like most dungeons, {{ZoneIcon|Lair of the Spider Queen}} has many weaker enemies before sending the strongest enemy at you, which in this case is {{MonsterIcon|Spider Queen}}. Normally, you would pick a specific combat style to fight the enemies to get the full advantage of the combat triangle, but in this dungeon, you can't. {{MonsterIcon|Spider Queen|The Spider Queen}} has a unique mechanic where they will have a random combat triangle each time. Similarly, the 19 weaker enemies before it are randomised in a way which again, makes the combat styles random. This part isn't very important since the heavy hitter in the dungeon is the last enemy. Since the random combat style gimmick is the only reason this dungeon is difficult to many, it is actually rather simple to manually clear.

===Astrology===
* {{SkillReq|Agility|120}} - Will allow for less skill levels in {{Skill|Hitpoints|Hitpoints}} and switch the Point of Interest to {{POIIcon|Bandit Hideout}} - Increases KPH by about 2.
As many combat bonuses from {{Skill|Astrology}} constellations are recommended, but not required. In total, Astrology serves as a massive buff to combat and will make the fight easier. The main bonuses are:
** If {{SkillReq|Prayer|118}} & {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|117}} are also obtained on top of {{Skill|Agility|Agility}} - Swap  {{POIIcon|Bandit Hideout}} back to {{POIIcon|The Shimmering Oasis}} and change {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} to {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} - Increases KPH by about 1.5.
* +5 Hidden Levels for {{Skill|Melee}}{{Skill|Ranged}}{{Skill|Magic}}
* {{SkillReq|Astrology|120}} - Max out [[Ashtar]] - Increases KPH by about 1.3.
**{{Icon|Iridan|type=constellation}}, {{Icon|Terra|type=constellation}}, {{Icon|Syllia|type=constellation}}, and {{Icon|Arachi|type=constellation}}. The +5 hidden {{Skill|Defence}} levels in {{Icon|Tellus|type=constellation}} are redundant.
* Collecting all base-game [[Pets]] - Increases KPH by about 0,5.
* 5% reduced Attack Interval and Enemy Damage Reduction decreased by 5%, from {{Icon|Ashtar|type=constellation}}
* {{AoD}}{{ItemIcon|Eradicating Gloves (m)}} - Direct upgrade to {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Gloves}} - Increases KPH by about 1.
* {{AoD}}{{ItemIcon|Power Crystals}} - Direct Upgrade to {{ItemIcon|Fervor Scroll}} - Increases KPH by about 1.

If your {{Skill|Agility|Agility}} is not above level 99 you'll need {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|113}} and swap {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} for {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} to safely idle this dungeon.


==Idle Gear==
* This setup was tweaked to be able to idle Spider Queen at reasonable levels & gear. Optimizing the kills per hour is too dependent on your stats and available gear, use the [[Combat Simulator]] to find what is optimal for you. This setup clears around 6-7 {{ZoneIcon|Lair of the Spider Queen}} per hour.
* {{ItemIcon|Corundum Crossbow}} performs better than {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}}. If you are unable to obtain the {{ItemIcon|Divine Crossbow}}, use the highest level crossbow you can obtain.
* If you are unable to obtain {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Bolts}}, use the highest level bolts you can obtain.
* If {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] is owned, you can replace {{ItemIcon|Fervor Scroll}} for {{ItemIcon|Power Crystals}} and/or replace {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Gloves}} for {{ItemIcon|Eradicating Gloves (m)}} for quite substantially increased kph.


{{Disclaimer|This particular build only works in standard mode. This exact setup is not completely safe in hardcore or adventure mode due to the harder Combat Triangle}}
=Ancient Relics Guide=
 
Stats will be capped at 109 and you'll need 110 for the next big upgrades. Seeing as focusing on skilling should be avoided as much as possible, dungeon/dropped gear is as good as it gets.
 
You will '''need''' to Manually Eat this dungeon and the suggested setup does assume this.
 
Tested with [[Relics]]:
* {{Skill|Ranged|notext=true}} - 1,2,3,4,5, Master - Not required but will cut clear times in half.
* {{Skill|Magic|notext=true}} - 1,5
* {{Skill|Agility|notext=true}} - 3
* {{Skill|Astrology|notext=true}} - 1,2,3,4,5, Master

* {{SkillReq|Defence|99}}
* {{SkillReq|Magic|99}}
* {{SkillReq|Prayer|99}}
* {{SkillReq|Ranged|99}}
 
 
==Gear==


* For complete safety in hardcore mode, apply the following changes:
{{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}}/{{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} is suggested as a swap to the {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}}/{{ItemIcon|Shield of Ranged Power}}.
** Level {{Skill|Hitpoints|Hitpoints}} to 120
** Gather the following [[Pets]] {{PetIcon|Leonardo}}, {{PetIcon|Erran}}, {{PetIcon|Finn}}, {{PetIcon|Kiko}}.
** Replace {{ItemIcon|Ring of Power}} with {{ItemIcon|Palladium Runestone Ring}}. Make sure it is in your passive slot and not your ring slot since it has -1% DR, but when in the passive slot, you do not lose 1% DR.
** Replace {{ItemIcon|(P) Corundum Shield}} with {{ItemIcon|(P) Augite Shield}}.
** Replace {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Gloves}} with {{ItemIcon|(U) Elderwood Vambraces}}.
Always make sure to double-check your setup in the [[Combat Simulator]]. <br>

  • The only other drop you can get from the dungeon is Spider Queen Eggs used for making the Spider Summoning Tablets.
  • The pet from the dungeon, Webbie also reduces your attack speed by 0.1s, which is incredibly useful in many ways.

The Spider Queen has a unique mechanic where they will have a random combat triangle each time. Similarly, the 19 weaker enemies before it are randomized in a way which again, makes the combat styles random. This part isn't very important since the heavy hitter in the dungeon is the last enemy.
