Gossamer / Silk farming

[Witch]

Hello all,
Just wondering is there any fastet way to farm gossamer for silk?
What is your opinion and trick to farm it as much as possible?
Killing spiders in spider-cave and farming with hardened steel dagger is the way i'm using right now. But withouth potions/bandages (bunch of them), i rather dont go inside cave.
Spending alot of steels to get the silk.

Let's share some tricks and tips to get it on easier way. Thx. :)

I usually go to scuttler's shortcut (?). There's a lot of cocoons on the floor in both enterances, and spiders there fall easily to a spear.

Pick up the cocoons for 1, 2 or 3 gossamer.

There was at least one more cave with lots of cocoons but I don't remember the location.

Here is my method, I kill the spiders with the bow at the weavers hollow and around the Set Trainer

it's also a great way to level I start doing this at around level 10.
once evey spider you can see is dead use the pick to harvest gossamer.
be careful spiders are sneeky bastages.

Once I'm around level 20 I go north and only return when I need more silk,
this is when I go into weavers hollow, the cocoons can be harversed by hand or with a Pick for a bit higher yield (thanks @Nuria)

On a side note corruption has been removed from weavers hollow and I saw no spiders around the Set Trainer, on the testlive build.

The spiders spit much less offten, so farmming silk will be easier once test is pushed to normal.

Theres alot more silk present on Testlive also (The new above ground spider queen has like 100 cocoons around her)
And shes just north of starter river.

Well, preety much im using same method. Snake arrows and steel dagger doing nice job for now. Otherwise, i will try with steel cleaver. Maybe it will farm a bit more.

Go to where those spider eggs are and hit them with a pick, you'll mine them like stone 7/swing with an upgraded steel pick. A lot around that Big Black Spider in the south east desert area. Also harvest the spiders with the pick for a few more. I'm rolling in silk right now.

In the bottom south of the jungle is an area with heaps off gossamer pouches lying around and two very big spiders with low aggro range just sneak around all Ninja like.
