Thread: Stupid spiders

The spiders in the Myyydrill cavern seem to totally disregard maskscent. I mean the biggies, the Unsioiri (or however it is spelled).

No break, they just attack. And me at +135 all dudded out in BE stuff.


Wonder if camo works? I sorta doubt it tho.


Any bright ideas?

are you trying to kill the mother bug? If so, here's what I did

1) burst run down to the bridge right before the mother spider cave.
2) Stop before you get to the pair of spiders guarding the intersection.
3) Let the pursuing spiders incap you (in other words, po' man's feign death) and go back home
4) rest
5) use traps to pull and take out the two spiders at the intersection
6) do the same for the rest of spiders on the bridge leading up to the cave
7) take out the two spiders guarding the cave and the one right at the entrance
8) pull droid
9) get right to the entrance of the cave, but not far enough in to get agro'ed by the spiders in the cave
10) tell droid to attack the mother and then tell it to follow.
11) move back onto the bridge
11) the mother will come running out - trap her on the bridge and engage
12) soon, she'll be dead. She's not that tough by herself.

If you are trying to get deeper to kill the guy in the spirit cave use the same technigue - just rest and recover in the spots where the range permits you to take a breather without taking agro.

Yep - that's my one issue with Kash camo -- it really has no purpose for level 80's against the smaller mobs, but all of the bigger mobs where it should be a great use seem to ignore it. I can sort of see the spiders locking on because the point of the mission is to negotiate the cave, but in the hracca glade where the critters are not the target, but possible obstacles to acheiving the mission, it would seem that our camo would be an ideal part of our strategery, but alas...

Thanks Iseult, gonna have to try that as soon as I finish the nurse's quests.


I read if you do her stuff, she will also give you the same mission as the chief, so in effect you do two missions at once. Cool rug too.


And as I wandered into the webweaver cavern, camo'd, shooting only the people and not the bugs, I was laughing at the people without camo getting aggro'd by the spiders and being incapped. I looted 6 decent weapons in there, never did have mask break,

Kashyyyk camo seems broken yes.


I applied it just before trying to pass some critters (so no zoning).


It didn't break, no xp, they just all proceded to chew on me.

lol yep - I didn't know this so I killed the mother bug for the chief (which took a long time because I had to figure out how to do it), and then started the nurse's quests and had to kill the mother bug again. The second time it went much, much faster, so it wasn't a big deal. Then just for laughs I fought my way down one bug at a time to ren-salla's area. I was going to try to do the same for the dr.'s quests, but I noticed that every five minutes or so another group of jedis would run down followed by a herd (pack, gaggle?) of spiders, so I just followed them down to where I needed to go.

I think Kashyyyk camo is broken too. Seems to have no effect. I have found the same thing in the Hracca Glade aswell as the Myydrill.

Out of curiosity, could this be related to the old zoning bug? It used to be the case that applying camo and then travelling on a shuttle would bug your camo. Creatures would attack without bothering to break it. With all the zones on Kashyyyk, is it possible that something similar is happening here?
