I do have lunar, although I still question is it worth it (would t60 power gloves make any difference in the overall kill?).

Unless you are taking loads of damage in lunars and need to keep eating, yes, it will make a difference, but not a huge difference. On the flip side, the armour bonus doesn't reduce your damage taken significantly either. People only use 3 piece for the resets.

4 webs, 1 eye, 1 fang in last ~200 kills while maging. Brb buying rope and chair.
Also only 3 leg pieces in that 200 kills, yea drop rates are messed up af for me. °l||l° Modest Skillers T7 Citadel | Skilling clan recruiting players. °l||l°

I meleed 1000 kc and then switched to magic to finally get the fang and complete the spider boss drop collection (I had one eye and almost 10 webs, no fang, which is to be expected when you melee). It took about 200 magic kills but it worked, in fact I got back-to-back fangs, after which I switched back to melee kills because that's the proper way to kill this boss.

Anyway, a few thoughts about maging this boss...

* Channel detonate during web shield.
* Use a Guthix staff for the affinity bonus but don't bother with vulnerability or enfeeble because those gets cleared instantly.
* Those random typeless bleeds applied by the melee version of Araxxor replace the poison hits, so you don't need venomblood perk or antipoison any more. Nothing works for those bleeds, at least the practical things that I tried (anticipation, freedom, debilitate).
* For bottom path a melee switch for bladed dive is necessary anyway.
* My strategy for Araxxi was to stand in melee distance (you don't get ranged hits any more) and pray magic. You don't even need to pray flick at lower enrages.

Overall the reason why magic is bad for spider boss is because Araxxi always has a melee weakness, doesn't matter what style you start with or if you use an instance. Magic hits will be lower. That's why melee is used for speed. And secondly, those typeless bleeds really get nasty on high enrages, you essentially take periodical double damage.

Oh and funnily enough, ever since I came back to meleeing, I got two more fangs with melee, but yeah... Join the RuneScape community on Reddit in
