Venomweaver is a boss mob fought inside Glade Cave. Players must have an average skill level of at least 20 to enter the cave and participate, and Glade Cave is a paid area — free-play accounts can't enter. The fight appears as an arena-style encounter where players can queue, participate, or spectate.

You can shoot her with a Bow once you're admitted to the fight. Since 31 October 2026 every arrow that lands counts as one swing toward the 2-hit reward floor, from any range: 2 arrow hits earn your share the same as 2 sword swings up close, or mix the two.
Since 3 November 2026 a Bow can also hit her mini-spiders. Click a mini-spider with the bow in hand: an arrow that lands does 40 damage, from up to 6 tiles away, and knocks it back like a sword hit. The arrow that kills one earns the same 150 Combat XP as a sword kill.
If your game freezes or your connection drops for more than 3 seconds in the cave, the ripple and mini-spider bites stop hitting you until it catches up, and the damage you missed is not added on afterwards. While frozen you can't attack either. A web you are still standing in when you come back still hits.
Standing idle in the fight gets you removed from it, with a 15-second warning first. Drinking potions, eating, taking hits and landing bow shots on the boss all count as fighting.
Completely unarmored players take 50% more damage from the boss's webs, its ripple pulse, and mini-spider bites — wearing any single armor piece removes the penalty. A mini-spider bite deals a rolled 15–22 HP and roots you for a moment (0.4 seconds); a swing you had started still lands once it wears off. Mini-spiders go first for anyone who has hit the Venomweaver from range in the last 8 seconds.
Venomweaver suit — web immunity
The Venomweaver boss fight has a signature reward: wearing the complete Venomweaver suit makes the boss's webs unable to touch you.
- Equip all four pieces — Helm, Chestplate, Legguards, and Boots — and you become immune to the boss's web snares for that fight.
- The ripple pulse and the mini-spider adds still hit, so you are not invincible — but you will no longer get webbed in place while the boss winds up.
- Immunity is server-authoritative: it only applies if you actually own and wear every piece (verified server-side), so it cannot be spoofed.
- If you own any piece of the suit but aren't wearing all four when you enter the fight, you're warned: "Your Venomweaver set isn't complete: webs will hit you". Immunity reads your saved outfit, so press Done in the wardrobe after putting the suit on.
- The Venomweaver Boots can be worn over Rocket Boots: equip both from your inventory and you keep the Rocket Boots' speed and still count as wearing the full suit.
Completing the full set is a long grind — each piece drops separately at 1 in 5,000 (see below) — and finishing it is what unlocks web immunity.
Combat XP
Defeating the Venomweaver grants 750 Combat XP to every fighter who landed at least two hits and is still inside Glade Cave when the boss dies. This is a flat grant per participant — not split across the party.
| Target | Combat XP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Venomweaver (boss kill) | 750 | Reduced from 1,000 in the balance pass. Granted to each damage-dealing participant in the cave at kill time. |
| Glade Cave mini-spider | 150 | Granted to the player who lands the killing blow on the add, before your sword's XP bonus. Raised from 100 on 30 October 2026. |
For comparison, other retuned combat XP grants include 50 XP for a Wild Zombie, 75 XP for a Wild Dragon, 110 XP for a Giant Scorpion, 1,300 XP for King Scorpia, and 100 XP for a Magma Brute.
Loot pool
Every Venomweaver kill rolls each of the following independently, for every qualifying fighter:
| Drop | Chance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wood, Stone, Coal (salvage) | Always | Wood 1–800, Stone 1–500, Coal 1–400 on every kill. |
| Gold | 1 in 200 | 1–25 Gold when it drops — the boss's headline Gold reward. Reduced from 1 in 100 in the latest boss loot retune. |
| Medium Scroll | 1 in 600 | Rolled separately for every player who fought. Reduced from 1 in 325 in the latest boss loot retune. |
| Hard Scroll | 1 in 1,000 | Rolled separately for every participant — but at most one scroll pays per kill: a Medium Scroll win on the same kill blocks the Hard Scroll payout. Improved from 1 in 1,200. |
| Potion Cache | 1 in 50 | New drop. One bundle pays 50 Strength Potions, 50 Health Potions, and 50 Shield Potions in a single roll. |
| Venomweaver Pet | 1 in 50,000 | New drop. A shrunk-down companion version of the boss itself — scuttles alongside you, purple gem still pulsing. |
| Venomweaver Helm | 1 in 5,000 | Armor piece — part of the web-immunity set. |
| Venomweaver Chestplate | 1 in 5,000 | Armor piece — part of the web-immunity set. |
| Venomweaver Legguards | 1 in 5,000 | Armor piece — part of the web-immunity set. |
| Venomweaver Boots | 1 in 5,000 | Armor piece — part of the web-immunity set. |
| Weaverling | 1 in 25,000 | New drop. A companion pet, rolled for every qualifying fighter like the rest of the table. |
Each of the four armor pieces rolls separately at 1 in 5,000, so completing the full set is a serious long-haul grind.
