Spiders can be assigned as a slayer task by various low-level Slayer Masters. They can be found in numerous places across Gielinor.

Most spiders generally use melee, but a few stronger ones will also use ranged and/or magic alongside them. Low-leveled spiders are generally weak to all forms of combat, though higher-leveled spiders are weaker to crush.

There are many varieties of spiders that players can kill as part of a slayer task, though for low-levels, the spiders around Lumbridge are a reasonable spot.

Due to the low number of spiders assigned by the Slayer masters, it is generally not recommended to kill other spider bosses such as Sarachnis (of which the boss spawns four minions for a total of five per kill).

Araxytes can be killed in place of a spider task, though this option requires 92 Slayer in order to fight them. A boost from wild pie can be used at 87 Slayer, but it is recommended to wait at least until 90 Slayer before using boosts for a reasonable amount of uptime.

Players who seek a greater challenge or assigned spiders by Krystilia can opt to kill Venenatis or Spindel for their slayer task, as they count towards it and provide a generous amount of drops. They are especially popular for Wilderness slayer due to their higher value. Remember that both spider bosses reside in the Wilderness, and it is not recommended for players to bring items they are unwilling to lose. Accessing Spindel requires completion of the Medium Wilderness Diary, while Venenatis has no requirements but is located in significantly deeper Wilderness that is a Multicombat area. A one-time fee of 50,000 coins is required to access the boss, which must be paid again if the player dies to another player within any of the wilderness bosses respective lairs.

If the player is assigned spiders by Krystilia but does not want to kill the spider bosses, it is recommended they head to the "spider hill" (located around level 46 Wilderness, with a cut sapphire being the location's landmark) and place a cannon there with very little risk. All of the spiders here are aggressive with low hitpoints, making the task breeze by in a matter of minutes.
