Why Idle This?

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Lair of the Spider Queen
    is mainly cleared for the Royal Toxins Spear as it provides very generous damage boosts, and also provides an additional damage boost for when the enemy is poisoned.
  • 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.

Dungeon Mechanics

Like most dungeons,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Lair of the Spider Queen

has many weaker enemies before sending the strongest enemy at you, which in this case is 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. 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.

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:

Agility

Idle Gear

  • Note that if you are consistently running gear on the right hand side of the table, you may need to check your setup with the Combat Sim mod. You may also need to squeeze in more dr through the use of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Yak
    synergies and using
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Stone Skin
    instead of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Battleborn
    .
  • Corundum Crossbow performs better than
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Shockwave
    . If you are unable to obtain the Divine Crossbow, use the highest level crossbow you can obtain.
  • Use Damage Reduction Potion IV for 10% extra DR.
  • If you are unable to obtain Meteorite Bolts, use the highest level bolts you can obtain.
  • If you are using all the gear from the first column, you will have a tiny chance of death, around 0.006 deaths/hour. For maximum safety, you can replace
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Avidity
    with
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Holy Aegis
    for there to be no chance of death. Note that this reduces kills/hour by a considerable amount (around 1.5).
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
