I have a question for you Kitasi (or anyone else), where do you get your
spider silks? Do you actually have to go out and kill innumerable giant
spiders, or is there a place you can just buy these and cut out all the
running around?
For example...I have been working on baking lately and I had saved up about
80 fresh fish I had caught and after trying to kill bats (for their wings)
on the order of obtaining about 80 batwings for "fish rolls" I finally gave
up and found a merchant selling batwings for cheap enough that I "ate" the
loss and bought a backpack full. This is what I would like to do with
spider silks instead of running all over the place at level 29 killing
spiders like some kind of wild neurotic arachnophobe.
Hints, suggestions?
