I absoultely love the spider build, but i still think as druid players if we dont have a shift in and out of druid form like deer, we should have increased time added to Insidious Illusion time. 3 minutes for max rank is brutal for getting anything done. Would love to see it increased to 10-15 minutes or have less cooldown time.
Just since spiders are so rare to see, would increase the population of spiders in my opinion!

Not sure that's likely to happen... only three animals can do it at all, and spiders' cooldown is right in the middle between lycan and fox. (Deer don't count... that's a druid thing, not a deer thing.) I could see the desire, though. Perhaps another level of the skill will be added in time.
Spiders who are druids can still shift to and from deer and bird at will. The spider just happens to be your base druid form.
idle walrus
Yea still doesn’t help the vendor problem. Since Druid and spider is a main spec and encouraged, there should be benefits that you get from it regarding transformation to temporary human.
Either perks for increased time as temporary human or a lesser cooldown to use it more often with still the cost of the moonstone.

I think having the ability to talk to everyone as an animal would be nice, have restrictions on interactions until you get their favor up, and your favor starts at lowest level.
idle walrus
Or make it so you can pay more people off
sonic jewel
I mean, not being able to talk to some people early on is a well-known drawback of being an animal. Spiders already have a workaround, if on a cooldown. Making everyone okay with animals just makes animal forms another skill.
If anything, I kind of feel like too many people are okay with animals later on. After Kur it almost completely stops happening.
idle walrus
Late game it gets better, but look at the lack of spiders right now. I still think animals need restrictions, i get it. But again just trying to encourage the druid + spider combo.
Spiders that have other builds should still be restricted, druids are meant to be animalistic and spiders makes sense since it literally already has build combination.
sonic jewel
Is there a lack of spiders? I usually see a few running around on Arisetsu.
idle walrus
Comparing to other animal classes yes for sure.
sonic jewel
I'm not sure about that. I think they're more common than bats, butterflies, and non-druid deer, for sure. Not up to lycan numbers, certainly, but not everything is going to be equally popular.

That could also depend on the server and your playtime compared to others who end up playing as a spider.
I play on Strekios and there are plenty of skate-clad spiders running around town
idle walrus
Either way I’m just suggesting something that is natural and not asking too much for some extra human time. You’re screwed when you have 3 minutes to travel to certain places to sell to different vendors.
Increasing it to 10-15 minutes for druids, or lowering the cooldown to like 5 minutes instead of 20 would also help.
Without removing the moonstone consumable
sonic jewel
Either way, though... I don't fault you for wanting it to be easier on you, but I don't think it's likely to happen. If it did, I'd expect they might take away the ability to switch to deer or bird, since they'd be making spider the 'alternate' form.
idle walrus
I’m def not asking for a free shift like raven/deer, just that the disguise gets perks for Druid
sonic jewel
Eh, you get used to it. Foxes start at 2 minutes per hour, and work up to 5. Nobody else gets to do it at all without going biped.
idle walrus
It is what it is, just a friendly suggestion
sonic jewel
Yeah, like I said, it's worth asking for if you want it. I'd definitely like to be able to interact more at times. But the noninteraction is also a big part of playing animal, so I don't think it's likely to change.
Anyway, I see the servers are back up >.>
idle walrus
Or maybe add favor to the strange spider so you can lower the removal potion cost
thorn plaza
the noninteraction is a big interesting part of being an animal. Having to figure out how to work around the people who won't talk to you at all is a fun challenge.
idle walrus
I’ve found most of the work arounds, just disappointed there isn’t a Druid perk to help alittle

Have no issues outside of serb and early eltibule. This feels like a very early game problem. Most everyone speaks to animals after casino onwards. (Statehelm is exception but you can get around that)
And a little in Kur I guess
idle walrus
Most of the game at the moment and the near future is in those early zones, so is just a temporary problem i suppose
fickle junco
Very true. It gets way better though. I barely use my illusion anymore. Maybe once or twice a week
idle walrus
I’ve spent most of my time favoring lower to mid zones since that’s where I spend most of my time
fickle junco
Yep I rarely use the vendors to sell and to access storage in serb I use the book case next to hulon's shop to get into any NPC that doesn't speak to animals.
