Spider's Silk is a necessity, but impossible to collect.

Post by Timothy Ashton »

Spiders Silk, a key ingredient in creating illusion based spell scrolls, appears to only be produced by one, out of the countless number of spiders in all of the realm. That one spider resides in a cavern on the aptly named Spider Island. Unfortunatly, once you reach a certain level, you can't go there, and in addition, it only produces one silk. Is there any way this can be applied to all spiders?

Oh is that where it is. Never been there.

In general I think it is ratrher a pain to collect somne herbs you need in Alchemy and Scribing. And the amounts needed are painful. For a simple CLW you need 2 dust of greenstone, heavy enough to chisel away and haul for wizards who would be most liely be interested.
You also need dust for Scribing and lots of it. Then you need herbs by the dozens that grow all over the place and not always nearby.

I pretty much gave up because when i run around all day to make a few meager potions it isn't satisfying me. And I lose more xp then I gain by getting killed to get that herb.

I also dislike it that to be able to craft one thing you have to invest heavily in another skill. If the plants yielded just a bit more...

All very unrewarding and confusing. And all that for a potion that lasts just a little while.
And that you use up to get those herbs again.

Try collecting the supplies..then waiting a short time to let them regrow, and collect more. You sometimes find that because of your picking them the first time, they respond by producing a larger quantity of useable ingredients.

Didn't know that.
I see you use my favorite quote by Robert Frost.
