Guild Wars 2’s Gift of Spiders is one of the game’s most highly sought-after Halloween items, so here are all of the locations and recipes you’ll need to transform it into the Arachnophobia bow.
Halloween has descended on Guild Wars 2 once more in the form of the Shadow of the Mad King. As King Oswald Thorn’s spirit returns once more to haunt the plains of Tyria, players are buckling up for a fun-filled spooky experience.
As part of the event, players will be able to craft some of the game’s most exotic items, one of these being the Arachnophobia bow. Weaved together of spiderweb threads stretched between the body of a spider, the item has become quite the treasure.
Crafted from a Gift of Spiders, an item found during the Shadow of the Mad King event, here’s how to get your hands on one.
