Venomweaver
Found at Glade Cave
Hits to kill 6,000 HP
Aggro range Arena encounter
Contact damage High
Combat XP 750 Combat XP per kill
Drops Venomweaver armor set, Hard Scroll, Medium Scroll, Purple Party Hat, Gold, salvage materials
Notes Level-20 boss mob fought as a queued/spectated cave encounter. Full armor set grants web immunity. Weapon tier now affects damage dealt.

Venomweaver is a level-20 boss mob fought inside Glade Cave. Players must have at least level 20 Combat to participate. The fight appears as an arena-style encounter where players can queue, participate, or spectate.

Requirement: Players need level 20 Combat to participate in the Venomweaver encounter.
Update — Balance Pass: Previously, the Venomweaver ignored weapon tier entirely — every hit dealt the same flat damage whether you swung a Starter blade or a Silver one. It now takes real damage like every other mob in the game, so gear actually matters here. Its HP is now confirmed at 6,000, and mini-spider adds sit at 120 HP. A Silver blade clears the boss in roughly two-thirds the swings it used to take.
Update — Boss Loot retune: Venomweaver's drop rates were pulled back in the latest pass — since every qualifying fighter rolls on its table (versus only the top 3 for King Scorpia), its per-person value was ahead of King Scorpia's before this rebalance. See Loot pool below.

Encounter

Detail Value
Encounter type Boss mob
Location Glade Cave
Requirement Level 20 Combat
HP 6,000
Mini-spider add HP 120
Participation Queued cave encounter
Spectating Supported
Aggro fatigue Exempt — the 90-second chase → 30-second breather rule that applies to regular mobs does not apply to boss encounters.

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.

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 player who dealt damage 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 100 Granted to the player who lands the killing blow on the add.

For comparison, other retuned combat XP grants include 50 XP for a Wild Zombie, 150 XP for a Wild Dragon, 110 XP for a Giant Scorpion, 1,300 XP for King Scorpia, and 100 XP for a Magma Brute <ref>Figure as given in the balance pass patch notes — conflicts with previously documented Magma Brute XP values (175 base / 350 with Lvl 2 Sword / 367 with guild bonus). Not yet confirmed whether this is a new flat base or a replacement of the weapon-scaling system. Verify in-game before treating as final.</ref>.

Update — Balance Pass: Venomweaver's Combat XP was reduced from 1,000 to 750 as part of a broader XP retune across gathering, combat, and smithing.

Loot pool

Every Venomweaver kill rolls each of the following independently:

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, on top of the Medium Scroll roll above. Not taken from the same pool — both can hit on the same kill. Reduced from 1 in 1,200.
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.
Purple Party Hat 1 in 10,000 Rare cosmetic hat.

Each of the four armor pieces rolls separately at 1 in 5,000, so completing the full set is a serious long-haul grind.

Update — Boss Loot retune: Venomweaver's Gold, Medium Scroll, and Hard Scroll rates were all pulled back in the latest pass: Gold 1/100 → 1/200, Medium Scroll 1/325 → 1/600, Hard Scroll 1/1,200 → 1/1,000. The team's stated reasoning: every qualifying fighter rolls on Venomweaver's table, while only the top 3 damage dealers roll on King Scorpia's — so Venomweaver's per-person value needed to come down to match King Scorpia's simultaneous buff. The two scroll rolls remain independent of each other — Hard sits on top of Medium rather than replacing it, so one kill can still pay both. This differs from King Scorpia, where only one scroll can drop per kill.
