Leyenda Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 What is the fastest (in general) way to obtain a hood? I have probably seen around 30 spiders in normal play but not one hood (as in not seen a hood and had a teammate take it, but no hood at all). I have also tried soloing F35 c6 mediums (leaving before boss), but have yet to see a single spider, let alone a hood drop. Should I be doing c1 smalls on a different floor? (Assume that I will have bad luck in groups and that someone else will take a hood drop before I do if one does drop) All skills 70+ Trails: 2 x Rune platebody (g)Barrows: 1 x Dharok's legsDrops: 1 x Dragon skirt | 1 x Dragon defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Choose a floor that night spiders appear on (preferably a higher floor), and solo it (medium). When you get to the boss, simply leave the floor without finishing, then repeat. Keep doing this till you get one. I have no idea how effective it actually is, but I've heard of people getting their hoods within a couple tries. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

manitstinks Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I just did a c6 med on f30 yesterday. Got the spider and the hood less than 5 doors opened. Just keep trying. If it takes more than a whole day, you're just very unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspeeder Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I was wondering this too, I was c6 med soloing f35 for at least 4 hours today and only saw one spider (No hood ofc). You think I'd have better luck just going in large groups to get more of them or just keep up with the soloing? http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm 67 dung and I've had my hands on six hoods total (usually give them away to a good team mate who i think deserves it). I've always done my last 10 floors c6 5:5 large. most of the hoods I've seen on floors 23-27 and usually every 10 or so spiders killed. I've seen more hoods than this but I did not pick them up myself so I don't count them. also keep in mind I usually form my own teams and key for myself so I can stay at the head of the action and try to complete floors as fast as possible so I see most monsters before anyone else, this could be a tactic you can try if you want a hood. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaaps1 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've seen a spider in a c1 occult floor (43, to be exact), so maybe just do a whole bunch of those? ~It's Super Effective!

halo475 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 To add to this, i had never seen a spider until i got to the occult floors of which i've done about 8 total (5:5 large) and i have seen 5 spiders, but no hood, not that my laggy comp would let me get it anyway unless i saw it alone. I'm thinking about doing occult floors on med and not finishing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow37 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I can confirm c6 med floors are good for hood - got my first one in under 2 hours :). However, I stupidly bound armor over it and am now trying to get it back - 1-2 hours in and haven't seen a single spider. It's pretty much all luck.

Leyenda Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 You cant do c1 meds so keep doing c6.Yeah, but I was wondering if c1 smalls might have a better chance to spawn spiders because Zaaps was saying that he saw a spider on his first F43 c1, whereas I see approximately one spider every five floors I solo on med (F35) All skills 70+ Trails: 2 x Rune platebody (g)Barrows: 1 x Dharok's legsDrops: 1 x Dragon skirt | 1 x Dragon defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Well I can't vouch or whether or not it's viable, but I will say that it's possible and warrants some looking into. Although I'll also say I decided to kill that spider for the lulz, got myself poisoned, and got no drops from the spider. It may very well be that the drop tables change on c1, but 1 kill is not nearly enough to draw that conclusion. ~It's Super Effective!
