November 6, 201114 yr I've had it. this is bullshit to the Nth degree. 159 NIGHT SPIDERS= 0 HOODS, 76 DUNGEONEERING. WHAT. THE. [bleep]. JAGEX? This is frustrating me so [bleep]ing much, I managed to find 2 in 20 kills on my pure, but my main? NOOOOOOOOOOOO, it's like some divine force does not want me to have one! Popoto.~<3
November 6, 201114 yr I got my first hood at 89 dungeoneering. It sucks, I know. It's worth noting, however, that you can dg perfectly well without one, it just requires more intelligent use of prayer. I just broke my hood for a plate. :) To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
November 6, 201114 yr I only got one at like level 97. :( "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.
November 6, 201114 yr 79 DG and still no hood. (Although I could wind up with 80 either tonight or sometime during the day.) If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one
November 6, 201114 yr I'm sorry, Timmy. :unsure: It's just a bad streak of luck. I got mine at 58 Dung on the first night-spider I ever saw :c
November 6, 201114 yr Come dg with me sometime Tim, I seem to get hoods 8/10 times I kill spiders. Proud (retired) Tip.it Times Editor! Tip.it Times Archives TET event forum
November 6, 201114 yr Yeah. It sucks. On the bright side though, a plate is a legitimate alternative bind to a hood, depending on your DGing style and ability. Check out Mazhar's guide.
November 6, 201114 yr The fact you've counted them implies you're hunting for it. Stop, because that road will only lead to plenty of frustration. Just DG normally and eventually, it'll come. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |

November 6, 201114 yr A hood gets deactivated by mages, which are in a LOT of rooms. Meaning everything in the room which is humanoid will attack you with a hood. If you have a plate as a bind, you get attacked by everything automatically, but you have a lot of defence bonuses because of the plate. If you have a hood bound, you don't get the defence bonus of the plate. A hood is just a neat thing to have. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature!

If you have a hood bound, you don't get the defence bonus of the plate. A hood is just a neat thing to have. The general rule of thumb is that hoods are better in GDs and plates are better while pathing. Ultimately you'll get better xp/h with a hood, but you can come close with a plate, and plates can potentially speed up your floors if you're pathing and praying intelligently. Plates are also better when soloing GDs and doing most puzzles (with the exception of emotes and 2nd page sarc room). You should read Tui's mapreading and pathing guide on xp-waste and Maz's guide in the AOW. It'll indirectly help you cope with not having a hood by introducing knowledge and factors that are more important to your xp/h and the speed of your floors. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
November 7, 201114 yr I think I got my first at 88 dg or something like that. No point in frustrating over it, it will come when it comes, it's not that rare. 2480+ total
November 8, 201114 yr I think I got my first at 88 dg or something like that. No point in frustrating over it, it will come when it comes, it's not that rare.that. Also, I got mine at 84. Don't stress out over it too much
November 8, 201114 yr Honestly, just bind a plate or something with high defense and dont be like hardcore hood hunting. Thats what I did for like a month, but then a week or two after not caring about the hood, I got the hood randomly with a group of friends. Just wait I guess, it will come
November 8, 201114 yr Yeah damn these night spiders man, I was in a warped floor yesterday and had been tanking hard along my path, got into an emotes room with [bleep] 18 health. Ofc everybody knows astrals are time waste, and on the 2nd emote I [bleep] die from poison damage, like ??????????? wtf jagex +1 minute ty, then that left me in a bad mood for the entire rest of the floor -.- Follow my road to 5.6/Gold Reaper/True Trim - DAT BLOG
November 8, 201114 yr I actually got it the first dungeon I could access them in. It's really all about luck. I would do as Ginger suggested and just DG normally.
November 10, 201114 yr Author I've got a prom plate bound atm, I know it's good but having the hood would help because I want to start learning how to key floors.

November 12, 201114 yr lol ok automatically jump to the assumption that I'm trolling. You realize this is a rant thread about night spiders right? Follow my road to 5.6/Gold Reaper/True Trim - DAT BLOG
November 12, 201114 yr lol ok automatically jump to the assumption that I'm trolling. You realize this is a rant thread about night spiders right? About night spiders, a slayer monster in Daemonheim, not dropping their unique slayer drop when killed. Not about dying due to poison damage, which can be acquired from any spider in DG and is not specific to night spiders. Also, I've never heard that astrals are a waste of time and most teams I've been in people at least make a few. Back on topic, sucks that you haven't gotten a drop, but I it's usually not best to camp something continuously for a drop because then large dropless streaks get noticed and it will usually stress you out.

November 12, 201114 yr m8 i just saw "night spiders" in the title Follow my road to 5.6/Gold Reaper/True Trim - DAT BLOG
November 13, 201114 yr Yeah I hate Night Spiders, must have killed at least 50-60 (with teams as well) and I haven't seen a single drop. Just yesterday while I was in a dungeon I was low on health and had no food, teled to ggs and got killed by 2 zombies because they didn't attack my hooded teammates. <_<
