Araneo worth taming?

I forcetamed one, and from what I can tell they're garbage. Scorpions deal far more damage, frogs do far more tarpor and are faster, and dilos/plants have a slow which is far easier to acquire.

One thing I might suggest is if their web could heal buildings, or they did this automagically?

Simple answer, no.

Longinsh answer, the amount of time it takes to tame them even on a server with accelerated taming is spastically long. Factor in that taming progress resets randomly, like it used to on giganto/mesopithecus, and taming spiders is like winning the lottery, except the number draw randomly resets every so often, so even if you get 4 numbers, they could change at any time. Raw meat taming them is like taming a plesio on default taming multiplier with raw meat, the bar barely moves, and when you get 20% into the tame, thinking all is going well, it suddenly plummets to zero again.

All I can say is, Studio Wildcard, why do not learn from your previous ♥♥♥♥ ups?

Yes and no, they have weak stats but they aren't TOOOOOOO bad. Mainly something interesting to tame like the scorpion kinda useless but you have to have at least one.

There is one thing they are good for, and it doesn't require a high level. Some people are terrified of spiders, be they video games or not. A presence of several low levels can keep away some griefers if they are afraid of spiders. Other than that, I don't see much point in taking the trouble other than to say you did it.

Only use is to prank friends with it by taming a low level while tribe mate is offline then put spider in room were they logged off at :p enjoy there reaction

They can be used for combat but only if you have a decently sized swarm of them to order around.

The web is arguably useful at slowing things down. Makes killing, escaping from, or taming certain dinos easier if they can't move as fast.

How long does their web slow effect last for? Now that I think about it they might be useful against other flyers in certain pvp situations.
