| 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, Potion Cache, Venomweaver Pet, Purple Party Hat, Gold, salvage materials |
| Notes | Boss mob fought as a queued/spectated cave encounter; entry requires average skill level 20. Full armor set grants web immunity. Weapon tier now affects damage dealt. |
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. The fight appears as an arena-style encounter where players can queue, participate, or spectate.
Encounter
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Encounter type | Boss mob |
| Location | Glade Cave |
| Requirement | Average skill level 20 |
| 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. |
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.
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, 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. Reduced 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. |
| 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.
