Tim Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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!

Obtaurian Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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.

JeRambo Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird308 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHappySeeker Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellac Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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.

highlanders Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aten Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 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.

Sir_Squab Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 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.

The_Fray Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 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. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
