ARRRRGGGGG! Captain's quest requires 15 of Coiled Spider Spinnerets, but:
1) the spiders are rare,
2) They are stealthed so you can't see them,
3) many of them drop NOTHING, so
4) you have to wander about the area where the occur, dealing with everything that's there, therefore
5) ARRRGGGG!
Now, why in the world would the game publisher do this to a poor aspiring captain?
