Araneo (Spider) is a waste of time.

Hey!

Love the Fear Evolved event but I gotta say, the spiders were a huge disappointment.
This thread is aimed more at those who are busting their balls trying to tame one.

I managed to tame a Level 50 Spider. It took a LOT of work, a lot of time and a lot of materials.
After I spent Engram points on the saddle and popped it on the little bugger, I realized just how poor a pet it is.

Not only did it have a measly ~400 hp and ~230% melee damage but it's carry weight was around 98 and it's Stamina was around 190.
This means that it could hardly hold me even with a small inventory and it ran out of stamina within about 9 seconds of sprinting. I almost lost it trying to fight a level 13 Dilo.

I chalked it down to being low levelled and having poor RNG stat distrubution so when my Brother found a level 100 Spider, I decided to give it another shot. I got it half way through taming it in my Bronto Taming Arena before it u-turned and bumped into me, causing it to agro.
I managed to get it to calm down and when I resumed, the "Wait Until It's Hungry Again" message wouldn't change and it's health sank until it died.

So!
This isn't a b*tchig thread at Wildcard, just simply a "You're not missing out on anything" Thread to those who are still breaking their backs trying to tame a Spider.
It's a waste of time and materials, it's unlikely you will ever use it and it's a waste of 18 Engram points to learn the saddle.

Wait until the Spider has received a bit of love (and a better taming method) before you go for one. :)

Happy Arking!

Say, on the subject of fear evolved, why didnt the spiders spawn above ground for fear evolved 2016? I was going to create an army to replace my original spider, but did not get the chance.

RIP Shelob, u will be missed.

They also said there was going to be tameable boas as well during that event , their half ****** it again as normal

Oh yeah...

Would be nice if the araneo got the ability to climb surfaces like the thylacoleo or the megalania in addition to the things above
