Chain/Plate plate armour is more suitable when facing a spider or any other animal which that bites.
Lava Spiders spiders should generally not be attempted until over 20FS20 FS. This is dependent on skills such as [[weapon]] skill and [[shield]] skill , as well as the quality of the equipment being used (armors and weapons).
Generally a 40-50ql armor set with a 50ql weapon and a player with 20FS can kill a normal lava spider if they keep their [[Focusfocus]] level up. [[Mauls]] work especially well on spiders.
Always attempt to gain optimum footing whenever possible. Fighting on a [[horse]] is an excellent way of doing this.
