How to Kill Spindel in OSRS 2025 for Easy Money Making

Yo, what’s good, RuneScape fam? Ready to stack some serious GP by taking down Spindel in Old School RuneScape? This spider boss is a legit goldmine in 2025, sitting pretty in the Wilderness, and I’m here to spill all the sweaty nerd strats to make you rich. Spindel’s a weaker version of Venenatis, but don’t sleep on her she’s got some spicy mechanics and mad loot like the Voidwaker Gem and Dragon Pickaxe. You want consistent cash flow, like 2-5M GP per hour? Let’s dive in, homie. Why’s Spindel so dope for money making? Easy to kill, decent drops, and you can dip from PKers quick. Let’s break it down.

Who’s Spindel and Why Bother?

Spindel’s a level 302 spider chilling in the Web Chasm, a singles-plus combat area in level 29 Wilderness. You need the Medium Wilderness Diary done to even step foot in her lair, so knock that out if you haven’t. Compared to her big sis Venenatis, Spindel’s a breeze to kill, with lower drop rates but still juicy loot. Think 88k-97k GP per kill on average, and if you’re slaying 52-60 kills per hour, that’s 4-5M GP easy. Why’s she great for money? Base drops are solid (1-2M per hour without uniques), and those big-ticket items like the Voidwaker Gem or Treasonous Ring can make your bank sing. Plus, the Web Chasm’s singles-plus means only one PKer can jump you, and you can teleport out fast below level 30 Wilderness. Safe-ish, right? Kinda.

Getting to the Web Chasm

Spindel’s lair is north of the Graveyard of Shadows, south of the black chinchompa spot. You’re gonna pay 50k coins to enter (can come from your bank, no need to carry cash). Here’s how to get there quick:

Ferox Enclave Teleport: Pop a Games Necklace, exit north, and run northeast past the green dragons.
Revenant Cave Teleport: Takes you above level 30 Wilderness, so run southeast carefully.
Hunter Cape: Teleport to black chins and jog southeast.
Canoe to Wilderness Pond: Then head southeast.
Corporeal Beast Lair: Games Necklace to Corp, exit the cave, and run northwest.

Pro tip: Right-click “peek” the lair entrance to check for PKers, but you need 20 Spindel kills first. Got a scout alt? Even better. Keeps those pesky PKers from ruining your vibe.

Spindel’s Mechanics: Don’t Get Caught in the Web

Spindel’s got a predictable attack pattern, but mess it up and you’re toast. She switches between 8 Ranged attacks and 8 Magic attacks, moving every 4 attacks. If you’re in melee range, she’ll only use Melee, which hits like a truck. Here’s the deal:

Ranged Attacks: First cycle, she starts with 8 Ranged hits. Pray Protect from Missiles.
Magic Attacks: Next, 8 Magic hits. Switch to Protect from Magic.
Spiderlings: Spawn on the 1st Ranged attack. These little jerks boost her damage and hit through prayers, draining Prayer points. Kill ‘em fast with darts or chinchompas (5 HP each).
Sticky Web: Hits on the 3rd Magic attack. A white-blue web lands, creating a 7×5 AoE that deals 3 damage per tick, drains 10 Run Energy, and 3 Prayer points. Dodge this like your life depends on it (it does). Run to the arena’s edge before the web drops to keep it out of your way.

Pro Move: After the 2nd Magic attack, pray Magic and sprint to the side of the room. This keeps the web from covering the center, so you don’t get stuck when Spindel moves. Why’s this a big deal? Webs drain Run Energy, making it impossible to escape PKers. Stay sharp!

Gear Setup: Crush It with Melee

Spindel’s weak to Crush attacks, so Melee is king. Ranged works too, but it’s slower unless you’re packing a Twisted Bow or Webweaver Bow. Magic? Nah, she laughs at it. Here’s a budget-to-bis Melee setup for 2025:

Slot	Budget Gear	BiS Gear
Head	Slayer Helmet (i) (on task)	Torva Full Helm
Cape	Fire Cape	Infernal Cape (lock with Trouver)
Neck	Amulet of Glory	Amulet of Rancour
Body	Fighter Torso	Torva Platebody
Legs	Obsidian Platelegs	Torva Platelegs
Weapon	Viggora’s Chainmace	Ursine Chainmace
Shield	Dragon Defender	Avernic Defender
Gloves	Barrows Gloves	Ferocious Gloves
Boots	Dragon Boots	Primordial Boots
Ring	Berserker Ring	Ultor Ring

Why Crush? Spindel’s defenses are lowest against Crush, and the Ursine Chainmace slaps with its Wilderness damage boost. Budget players, grab Viggora’s Chainmace it’s dirt cheap and still shreds. Don’t bring anything above level 20 Wilderness you ain’t willing to lose (Dragon Defender’s gone forever if you die). Lock big-ticket items like the Infernal Cape with a Trouver Parchment for 1M GP to keep ‘em safe.

Ranged Setup (if you must):

Weapon: Webweaver Bow or Craw’s Bow (both solid).
Armor: Masori or Armadyl for max DPS.
Amulet: Necklace of Anguish.
Boots: Pegasian Boots.
Shield: Dinh’s Bulwark (set to block for PKer defense).

Ranged keeps you closer to the exit for quick dips, but you’ll need to swap prayers between Ranged and Magic based on her cycle. Melee’s just faster, trust me.

Inventory Setup: Stay Alive, Stay Rich

Your inventory’s gotta balance DPS, healing, and PKer defense. Spindel drops Blighted food and potions, so you can stretch trips without banking. Here’s what to pack:

4-6 Saradomin Brews: Heal and boost Defense.
2-3 Super Restores: Restore Prayer and fix stats from Brews.
Blighted Manta Ray/Anglerfish: Emergency healing (93+ HP for Anglerfish).
Blighted Karambwan: Combo with Brews for tick-eating against PKers.
Divine Super Combat Potion: Boost Melee stats.
Stamina Potion: Keep Run Energy up for dodging webs and PKers.
Royal Seed Pod: One-click teleport up to level 30 Wilderness.
Games Necklace: Quick travel to the lair.
Grey Chinchompas or Darts: For one-shotting spiderlings.
Sanfew Serum/Anti-venom: Cure venom from PKers.
Looting Bag: Store extra loot to extend trips.
Optional: Divine Rune Pouch with Vengeance/Thrall runes for extra DPS or PKer defense.

PKer Tip: Always keep Protect Item on if you’re rocking four valuable items (like Chainmace, Defender, Amulet of Rancour, Ultor Ring). Dinh’s Bulwark is a lifesaver if a PKer jumps you switch to it, set to block, and tank hits while you teleport.

The Fight: How to Slay Spindel Like a Pro

Alright, you’re geared up, inventory’s stacked, and you’re in the Web Chasm. Here’s the step-by-step to melt Spindel while dodging PKers and her annoying webs:

Enter and Pray: Pop Protect from Missiles as you enter she starts with 8 Ranged attacks. If you’re Melee, get in her face to force Melee attacks (pray Protect from Melee instead).
Kill Spiderlings: On the 1st Ranged attack, spiderlings spawn. Equip darts or chins and one-shot ‘em. Don’t let them stack up, or Spindel hits harder and drains Prayer.
Dodge the Web: On the 3rd Magic attack, she shoots her Sticky Web. After the 2nd Magic attack, pray Magic and run to the arena’s edge. This keeps the web out of your path when she moves.
Swap Prayers: After 8 Ranged attacks, she switches to 8 Magic attacks. Pray Protect from Magic. She moves every 4 attacks, so stay on her if Meleeing.
Repeat: Cycle repeats until she’s dead. Keep an eye on the north entrance for PKers. Got a scout alt? Have ‘em watch for you.
Escape Plan: If a PKer shows, switch to Dinh’s Bulwark, pray Protect Item, and use the Royal Seed Pod to dip. Below level 30 Wilderness, it’s instant (unless you’re teleblocked, then run south).

Kill Speed: With max Melee gear (Ursine Chainmace, Torva, etc.), you can hit 60 kills per hour. Budget setups get ~52 kills per hour, still netting 4-5M GP with decent RNG. Uniques like the Voidwaker Gem (1/900) or Dragon Pickaxe make bank, but even regular drops like Onyx Bolt Tips and Fangs of Venenatis keep the cash flowing.

PKer Problems: How to Not Get Smoked

Wilderness is a jungle, fam. PKers love crashing Spindel runs ‘cause bots make it a loot piñata. Here’s how to stay safe:

Scout Alt: Use an alt with a Wilderness Player Alarm plugin to spot PKers before they drop in. Worth the bond cost.
World Hop: Bots clog worlds. Hop 30-40 times to find an empty one. Total level worlds are PKer magnets, so avoid ‘em.
Teleport Fast: Royal Seed Pod or Games Necklace for quick escapes. Hard Wilderness Diary removes the 3-tick teleport delay in the lair.
Low Risk: Don’t bring gear you can’t afford to lose. Four protected items max, and lock big stuff with Trouver Parchments.
Tank PKers: Dinh’s Bulwark, Protect Item, and Sanfew Serum let you tank hits and dip. Tick-eat with Karambwan if you’re combo’d.

Reddit Real Talk: Players on r/2007scape cry about PKers and bots ruining Spindel runs. One dude said he hopped 40 worlds just to get 2 kills without interruption. Scout alts and fast teleports are your best friends here.

Loot and Profits: Why Spindel’s Worth It

Spindel’s loot table is why she’s a money-making beast. Here’s the big stuff:

Voidwaker Gem: 1/900 drop, worth millions. Huge chunk of the 5M GP/hour estimate.
Dragon Pickaxe: Rare but bank.
Treasonous Ring: Solid cash.
Fangs of Venenatis: Decent value.
Onyx Bolt Tips: Consistent money.
Blighted Supplies: Food and potions to extend trips.

Average kill’s worth 88k GP (97k on a Konar task). At 52 kills per hour, that’s ~4.8M GP/hour. Hit 60 kills with max gear, and you’re pushing 5M+. Uniques are the real jackpot, but regular drops keep you in the green. Without uniques, expect 1-2M/hour, still better than most mid-level grinds. Check Grand Exchange prices before banking big investments prices fluctuate.

Reddit Whine Check: Some players on r/2007scape say Spindel’s GP per kill feels low without uniques (like 80k average). Keep grinding uniques are what push you to that 5M/hour mark.

Pro Tips for Max Efficiency

Slayer Task: Spindel counts as Venenatis for Slayer tasks. Use a Slayer Helmet (i) for extra DPS on Konar or Krystilia tasks.
Combat Achievements: Two tasks for Venenatis (7 points) apply to Spindel. Knock ‘em out for extra loot rolls (e.g., elite clue scrolls at 1/47 with CA rewards).
Prayer Management: Use Piety or Rigour for DPS, but don’t let spiderlings or webs drain you dry. Super Restores are clutch.
Bot Dodging: Bots are a pain. Hop worlds fast or use a scout to avoid ‘em. Jagex ain’t fixing this anytime soon.
Long Trips: Spindel’s Blighted drops mean you can stay longer. Looting Bag + Divine Rune Pouch = more loot, less banking.

Why Spindel Over Other Bosses?

Compared to Vorkath or Zulrah, Spindel’s got a lower skill ceiling and less setup hassle. Muspah’s great, but you need high-end gear for max profits. Spindel’s accessible with budget gear, and the Wilderness vibe keeps it spicy. Why grind Chaos Druids for 200k/hour when you can pull 5M here? Just watch for PKers, and you’re golden.

Final Thoughts

Spindel’s your ticket to big GP in 2025, fam. Crush her with Melee, dodge those webs, and keep a Royal Seed Pod ready for PKers. Budget setups work, but BiS gear pushes you to 60 kills/hour and 5M+ GP. Scout alts and world hopping are sweaty but worth it. Got a slick Spindel strat? Drop it in the comments I wanna hear it! GL slaying, and may RNG bless you with that Voidwaker Gem. Peace!
