Spider Plains

Spider Plains
Neighboring Zones	Vain, Stenn Desert, The Swamp, The Grid, Shun, Arach, Watcher's Rim

The Spider Plains are a large hilly field filled mostly with nothing but Skin Spiders, which shares a similar theme with the neighboring Arach.

This place appears to have been once the stronghold as part of Shek Kingdom territory, but their hold over this region has since been significantly diminished.

This place also has (to a lesser degree) several Shek bandits such as Berserkers, Band of Bones and Kral's Chosen.

Tips

• The main enemy, Skin Spiders, are slow, and most pawns can easily outrun them. Bring Splint Kits, as this allows you to pick your fights.
• Bring a weapon with special bonuses on animals and/or spiders, such as the Desert Saber or a Polearm.
• Skin Spiders eat KOed pawns, do not hesitate to run away if you believe your pawn is at risk.
• Skin Spiders are vulnerable to being kited (hitting an enemy and running away to avoid retaliation), use a long reach or Ranged weapon to capitalize on this weakness.
  • Ranged weapons have EXTREMELY low accuracy against Skin/Blood Spiders so only use a Crossbow if you have a lot of extra ammunition.

Trivia

• Being a zone that directly neighbors Arach, it is likely that several of the Skin Spiders in this region might have migrated from that region.
