Tasks for Tickets and Items
At each of the Meeting portal locations, you can find a concerned arachnologist and an agitated businessman. You can speak to both about various topics (web, spider, etc.), and both offer TASKS that will enable you to get tickets for the upcoming event. It appears that both these NPC's give the same variation of the 4 tasks but with different messaging. Additionally, each appears to have a unique contribution credit counter, which you can check by asking each about STATUS. Currently, the only difference is the possible titles you can acquire.
You are able to pick up and return tasks to any location of the 2 NPC's. For example, you can accept a task in Crossing but return it in Riverhaven. However, the Crossing location may be desirable as it appears most of the random locations for task groupings are located in Zoluren.
Tasks
When you ASK ARACHNOLOGIST/BUSINESSMAN FOR TASK, you will randomly receive the option of one of the following, which you can ACCEPT or DECLINE. The below are summarized versions, see each NPC page for detailed overviews with task messaging and specific instructions:
- Kill spiders: kill various Augmented arachnids found during invasions or in the Current Spider Hunting Location (see below).
- note: Empaths will not receive this as an option
- Rescue missing colleagues: find via SEARCHing in the location that the NPC gives you in the accept text.
- Spidersilk turn-in: kill various Augmented arachnids found during invasions and in the Current Spider Hunting Location (see below) for randomly dropped pieces of spidersilk.
- Spiderweb portals: either clear spiderwebs from nearby doors, arches, etc. or travel to the location given in the task and SEARCH for portals to clear.
- tip: See the below Spiderweb Syntax table for directions on how to clear different web types
- Tomiek chitins: kill and collect chitin from the Tomiek-iguji broodlings and return them to the NPC
- tips: To get into the burrow, wait near the task givers to be drug down (or use the burrow of a recently drug player) or find one of the randomly spawned entrances in the area. To get out of the burrow where you can hunt the broodlings, look for a freshly dug hole.
Current Spider Hunting Location
It appears that the above ground spider hunting areas change, perhaps once per day or after x-number of spiders are killed in the area. The following list should be updated as the location moves:
- 10/27:
Farmland, Grain Fields - Crossing west gate - 10/28:
Riverhaven West Wilds - Riverhaven west gate - 10/29:
Dirge, both in the city and immediately outside the gate - 10/30:
Shard, East & North Bridges (outside town) - 11/2: Leth Deriel, Oshu'ehhrsk Manor south of the city (germish'din hunting)
Spiderweb syntax
ADJUST, WAVE, CUT etc, the portal that the webbing is covering, not the web itself
Web type | Method of destruction |
---|---|
spidersilk | -cut it with a bladed weapon (slice or puncture must be highest attribute on weapon) -POINT a Lighter at it |
metallic | -ADJUST it with tinker tools |
phantasmal | -POINT or WAVE at it with a light source -WAVE at it with a glowing Gaethzen item |
shadowy | -POINT or WAVE at it with a fire/light source |
dew-covered | -POINT or WAVE at it with a fire source |

Rewards
At 100 credits you get a message saying you're capped. ASK ARACHNOLOGIST/BUSINESSMAN FOR STATUS to see how many credits you currently have with each. Credits appear to accumulate per account, not per player.
Any titles you are eligible for will automatically show up in your Generic title list.
Additionally, you can ASK ARACHNOLOGIST/BUSINESSMAN ABOUT CLAIM in order to receive Hollow Eve tickets based off the total amount of task credits you have earned. Each of the NPC's will offer up to 37,500 tickets. You can cap out to 100 credits with each NPC, for a total of 75,000 tickets possible.

Games
Notes:
- While the chart below shows what is dropped at each game, each game may drop different things at different rates. One game might be better at dropping crystals than rings, while another might be really good at stones instead of tickets, and so on. Explore and try things to see what works best for your current needs!
