I was able to tame one yesterday on Tempest. They spawn babies quite often. I took 2 Gaping Spider Recluse missions at Science Outpost that are about 600m apart. The main problem was those lairs were too close to Nightsister slaves and babies got killed by those about 5 times. But I just went back and forth between missions and finally tamed one.
cool pet, i love the spiders as a pet but i hate to fight them. Easiest way to get one of these is to join sologroup and take missions. Just beware of the poison!
Just wanted to thank everyone for the great info here. I pulled out my lvl 67 BE Rancor and easily found missions for the recluse lairs around 16.4k just as listed here. These things are NASTY... and I say that being a TKM, too. First lair, killed the two adults, tapped it, got a baby on the first tap, tamed it after a few tries. I hate spiders in real life and they give me the creeps, but I'll have one of these in game any day. I deleted my recently tamed gaping spider hunter for this... the specials are so much better.
nice fun pets,just got mine,parents poisoned me to hell before they let me have their prized little poison spouter,first baby a damn nightsister killed =/ second i gto after 3 tries
Really, really nice pet. These guys seem to poison anything, and everything in their path. They're pretty much fearless, and rugged PVE tools. Very easy to come by, very nice to have.As a TKM, I can pull these missions grouped with two Giant anglers and a level 19 difficulty droid. I seem to get babies very regularly, with sometimes two babies spawning. Probably my favorite pet so far.
The 16k missions are correct. Had to beat the lair down 3 times last nite but did have success on a baby. Took me 4 times to tame...he/she even attacked me once. Take your time and don't give up.
You can easily find missions for these guys going for around 16475 to 16586 credits. I found a baby on the first mission I did and tamed it on my second try. :)
hello, i'm searching for one of these pets. I'm on the Ahazi server, Name: Noshisx, if you have one and want to get rid of it or sell it, i'll take it off you.
Answer to both questions is get in a large group (if you can handle it spam "looking for solo group") then start refreshing the mission terminal. Recluse missions are about 18K or so. I've tamed 4 of these fellas from missions on Dathomir
How could you get 12k missions on Dath? I only could get 10k-11-16-18k missions and never seen any 12k ones. Also what would the mission be about? I never saw a gaping spider recluse lair anywhere...
These can actually be tamed from missions (about 12k) on Dath. I tamed 3 on one outing last night on Bria server. Very nice pet. Exactly like the gaping spider hunter but MUCH bigger!
I came across a few lairs and insect hills but I only have seen gaping spider babies so far. Guess it's normal that they spawn more often since they are weaker. Thanks for the info
I usually see them spawn from insect hills or wandering around alone. I believe they also spawn from Gaping Spider Lair that have a mixed bag, ie. Gaping Spiders, Gaping Spider Hunters, Gaping Spider Recluse, Gaping Spider Queen and so forth.
No you're correct. Poison Spray is an AE attack and a very effective one. I keep 2 of these as pets and they make very nice tanks. Very useful against social mobs and NPC's that like to use melee attacks. Opponents are pretty much guaranteed to be poisoned by this creature. You just need to be careful where you use them so you don't gain unecessary aggro from nearby mobs. And yes they're much larger than Gaping Spider Hunters.
