Why Idle This?
Lair of the Spider Queen is mainly cleared for the 
Royal Toxins Spear as it provides very generous damage boosts, and also provides an additional damage boost for when the enemy is poisoned.- The only other drop you can get from the dungeon is
Spider Queen Eggs used for making the 
Spider Summoning Tablets. - The pet from the dungeon,
Webbie also reduces your attack speed by 0.1s, which is incredibly useful in many ways.
Dungeon Mechanics
Like most dungeons, Lair of the Spider Queen has many weaker enemies before sending the strongest enemy at you, which in this case is 
Spider Queen. Normally, you would pick a specific combat style to fight the enemies to get the full advantage of the combat triangle, but in this dungeon, you can't. The Spider Queen has a unique mechanic where they will have a random combat triangle each time. Similarly, the 19 weaker enemies before it are randomised in a way which again, makes the combat styles random. This part isn't very important since the heavy hitter in the dungeon is the last enemy. Since the random combat style gimmick is the only reason this dungeon is difficult to many, it is actually rather simple to manually clear.

Idle Gear
- This setup was tweaked for the absolute minimum to idle Spider Queen at reasonable levels & gear and assumes all recommended levels and buffs. This starts off with only 2 kills per hour, there's several way to increase the KPH.
- If Atlas of Discovery Expansion is owned, you can replace Fervor Scroll for Power Crystals and/or replace
Aeris God Gloves for Eradicating Gloves (m) for quite substantially increased kph.
This particular build only works in standard mode. This exact setup is not completely safe in hardcore or adventure mode due to the harder Combat Triangle
- For complete safety in hardcore mode, apply the following changes:
- Level Hitpoints to 120.
- Level Agility to 120.
- The Point of Interest from Atlas of Discovery Expansion is not required.
- Use the Prayers
Stone Skin & Holy Aegis - Gather the following Pets Leonardo, Erran,
Finn, the Cat, 
Kiko. - Replace
Ring of Power with 
Palladium Runestone Ring. Make sure it is in your passive slot and not your ring slot since it has -1% DR, but when in the passive slot, you do not lose 1% DR. - Replace
(P) Corundum Shield with 
(P) Augite Shield. - Replace Aeris God Gloves with
(U) Elderwood Vambraces.
- Level
Always make sure to double-check your setup in the Combat Simulator.
Disclaimer: Gem slot is not required but recommended.
Ancient Relics Guide
This is the first Throne of the Herald Expansion dungeon where an idle setup for the first clear is near impossible. Stats will be capped at 108 and you'll need 110 for the next big upgrades. Seeing as focusing on skilling should be avoided as much as possible, dungeon/dropped gear is as good as it gets.
You will need to Manually Eat this dungeon and the suggested setup does assume this.
