Fellow handlers,
I'm looking for an arachne widow and so far it's one of the fewcreatures I have never seen in the wild. And I've travelled around Endor a lot, to find the other great creatures that live there.Do you have any tips on finding a widow? Can you take missions for them (my feeling is not, because I can take CL 56 missions, screechers for example)? But then again Widows are level 58. I can make my "solo" group even bigger if need be by adding a faction pet. From the waypoints I have from swgcreatures.com it is clear that they are found near the research outpost the most, but all I can find are arachne hatchlings. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Iljato Aeynadan, MCH, Bria

If you go east from the research outpost you'll often find them within 500m-2.5k of the starport. The smaller lairs are 1 Queen/1 Widow in the guard wave, you'll occasionally see them with more widows per wave though.

/agree w/crazygreggy
Look for the lairs in the area he described with queens/widows only, and look early in the day for them. Ive seen a lot of jedi grind on the queens and widows on my server so they pretty scarce late in the afternoons.

After writing this I found my first lair NE of the research outpost (doesn't it always go like this) 
It was a lair with 1 queen and 3 widows as described by CrazyGreggy. I killed them all, wave after wave, but sadly no baby. 
But what the heck, this was my first encounter with them. I will tame a widow one day. And like Louannarchy mentioned it does seem to be a favourite place for Jedis, didn't take long before I saw one. But I'm a European playing on Bria so starting out early just after a server restart is no problem at all for me.

On my second try to find a lair I stumbled accross a lair with 1 queen and 1 widow. The queen was already dead because a Jedi was doing his stuff. I scared the Jedi off and started shooting with my rifle. At one point a yellow dot appeared. I couldn't believe it, this was only my second ever widow lair afterall. I was patient and killed the queen first. Started taming, nothing. Second try, aggro, damn..., running. After returning to the lair another queen had spawned so I took care of that one first and started taming again..., bingo! I feel so guilty, some people kill hundreds upon hundreds to find one and it only took me half a day and 2 lairs. Well, I'm gonna enjoy it, thanks all.

Oh, btw, I found it 2k NE of the Research Outpost. I also found the first lair NE of it but somewhat closer. If you encounter a Jedi, just stand next to them and they will go away allright, if you are lucky.

Yes isnt that wonderful put them on follow too they flip out about that.
Another good trick is type in spatial how do you get this bombdroid to work they really move fast then.

Congrats on the tames. It took me many many lairs to finally get a widow baby to pop. One thing to be careful about in taking out the queens is that I believe that they have area attack poison which could endanger the baby. I would prolly try for a mask scent hold first

From the research outpost look, west/ sw/s/se/e/north
I go all the way up to the ewok tree villages as aracne always spawn well around the ewoks for some reason. Perhaps its why the ewoks live in trees

Yeah, they must love Ewok meat
I think I got my baby near there last year.
