Black Widow

Description
Black Widows are spiders of the Underworld. They are the jewel of the ranger pet collection. Even though these creatures posses no known advantages over other pets, they are the ultimate mantle piece as they are used to show that their owner has conquered parts of the Underworld and tamed one of its creatures: like Fissure Armor they are something of a mark of prestige. It should be noted that many players simply buy a spider run and the value of this prestige is steadily declining. Some players simply capture them to avoid leveling up a low-level pet. Others simply tame them as a substitute for the Moss Spider seen in the beginning of Chapter 1, in pre-searing Ascalon.

Black Widows come in all three final evolutions, Hearty, Elder, and Dire. Since they are already at level 20 and thus cannot be trained for a new evolution, a pet of the desired evolution must be sought out and tamed. The Widow inflicts piercing damage.

Black Widows spawn in the Underworld next to a reaper after the quest for that reaper has been fulfilled. The easiest reaper to free and to perform the quest for is the Reaper of the Forgotten Vale and his quest is "Wrathful Spirits."
