What to do
Talk to
Mion in the Dwarven Village magic shop.
The king of Elmore has requested the best spider silk formal wear to be made for the emissaries that are being sent to the Aden kingdom. Trader Mion, a cutter of the Silver Scale Guild, doesn't have enough material to make formal wear and asks you to collect tarantula spider silk. Hunt crimson and hunter tarantulas, then bring back their spider silk to receive a reward. Spider silk may also be acquired by taking tarantula spinnerettes to Defender Nathan to be spun.

Tarantula spider silk is lighter and has better colors than the highest-quality silk! Where can I find enough
tarantula spider silk for twenty dresses? That's too much! Who will believe me if I say I couldn't make spider silk dresses made of
tarantula spider silk because I couldn't find enough spider silk -- I'm frustrated! I'm frustrated! Tears form in my eyes and the world collapses upon me! Yikes! I really don't know what to do now ...!
Player choice:
Ohh! Goddess Maphr sent me a savior! Good Lord! What took you so long!
You don't have much time! Now I shall tell you about collecting the spider silk. Generally, people think that tarantulas do not make webs. But that is false. They dig holes for their nests and make webs to line them! Hunt tarantulas and bring all the spider silk to me! There are three kinds of tarantulas!
Crimson tarantula,
hunter tarantula and
plunder tarantula, I remember! If you fulfill this quest, I will reward you!
By the way, if you happen to find a tarantula spinneret take it to Defender
Nathan. He will spin the silk out of it. He is a very skilled and sensitive Dwarf.
I heard about you from
Mion. You're helping her collect the spider silks, right? I once learned the craft of spinning from the Golden Wheel Guild. But I gave up being a craftsman, and became a defender instead ... Actually, I once got my fortune told at the Maphr Temple. They said I wouldn't live long if I became a craftsman ... Tsk ...
Anyway, my skills don't compare to a master's, but the village girls once swooned at my spinning skills! So, if you have any tarantula spinnerets, bring them to me. I'll spin an unbelievable amount of spider silk for you!
Player choice:
Spinnerets are the organs within the tarantulas' bodies that store the spider silk. Usually one can spin about fifteen skeins of spider silk from one spinneret, but I can easily spin much more than that! If I'm lucky, I can spin as much as twenty skeins!
Here! All done! Hurry up and take these to
Mion!
I'm in trouble! I'm in big trouble! Van Holter of Elmore came to me,
Mion, and ordered twenty dresses. Formal outfits for the mission to Town of Aden, I heard. Oh dear. What should I do? Not enough time ... not enough materials! The honor of the Silver Scale Guild depends on my two hands now! Oh no ... I have to make the best formal wear! I'm in trouble! Big trouble! I don't know what to do now? I don't know! I really don't!

I do not have much time to make twenty by next week. Eeek! I,
Mion, am responsible for this, if I do not finish on time! My fingers are starting to ache, thinking of all those clothes to make ... I will need a pile of laces and ribbons! Who is going to get the spider silk for me? Oh no! I need more materials!!! What should I do? Oh no ... my life is tragic ... now really ...I don't know what to do!!!
(Quest for characters level 15 and above, with either the ring of raccoon or the ring of firefly.)
Oh my ...I'm deeply touched! I've never been this touched before! You brought the spider silk! Thank you very, very much! This is the reward, as promised. Please take it ... I still need more spider silk, so please collect more!
But making twenty dresses will take forever ... What should I do? Maybe I should run away to another village? Oh no! I don't know what to do!!!
Player choices:
No way! I'm in a hurry and you want to quit? Do you want me to die? I have to make dresses by the day after tomorrow ...!
Mion will hate you and curse you! Aghhhh!
O Ho Ho! Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'd ask just anyone to collect
tarantula spider silk, which is easy to damage, just because I'm too busy!! Oh no ... I'm very upset! You are not even an apprentice of the Guild! You are bothering me, so go away! If you want to become an apprentice of the Guild, you should go to Elder Arin or Elder Keef at the House of Elders instead! Do you get it now?
(Quest for characters with the ring of raccoon or the ring of firefly.)
Aghhh! What are you doing here? Hey ... I don't have time ... Just spin the silk out of them. If I don't have twenty dresses by next week, I will be kicked out of the Silver Scale Guild!
I am telling you once more. You may receive spider silks only by hunting
crimson tarantulas,
hunter tarantulas or
plunder tarantulas. Just find them quickly and I will pay you back for sure. Also, you may only spin silks by giving Defender
Nathan thetarantula spinnerets! You don't have much time! You should be busy hunting spiders now ... you shouldn't waste your time like this! Please hurry, hurry ... I'm about to cry ...I don't know what to do now!
Player choices:
Please hurry ... hurry!
Tarantula spider silk! A lot! Hurry, hurry! Spinnerets are to go to Defender
