You can also try Field of Bone.. the Bonecrawlers seem to drop alot of silk too

From my recollection FoB was good for Spiderling Silk. Not Spider Silk.

EKarana was always my go to. The Crag Spiders drop up to 7-8 at a time, which is very nice.

Also yes, Spider(ling) Silk didn't used to be stackable back during classic, it was only stackable in the combined variety (swatches/threads)

yea well the bonecrawlers in the pit drop ALOT more spider silk than they seemed to on live..

My guess is that the drop tables on some of these spiders were pulled from Magelo. The problem with Magelo, is that spider silk is (on live) on a drop table that's had like 30-40 other things added to it over the years. Ergo, the live drop rates on spider silk are not a good thing to go on imo.

You'd probably be better sourcing a bunch of classic quotes on the drop rate on specific mobs in specific zones. Difficult, a pita, but likely the only way to get it changed.
