The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
The Arachne priestess's lithe body is covered by heavy silk robes that also cowl most of the facial features. A single visible image of a black spider over a crimson background is clearly emblazoned upon the backside. Draped in their macabre attire, the Arachne priestess goes about its zealous duties in worship of Arachne. Upon close inspection, one can make out partial shapes of sigils formed by welts and mutilations on the hands and face.[1]
Hunting strategies
Arachne priests/priestesses do not wear armor, so they are relatively easy to ambush. Its DS remains high, however, so it may still be tricky to hit.
Be wary of hiding or stepping out of the room if it begins to prepare a spell (usually Web); if it cannot target you, then it will resort to casting the Area of Effect version of the spell, which can linger in the room for up to 5 minutes if the priest is not killed.
Other information
Arachne priests and Arachne priestesses are the same creature for the purposes of Adventure Guild bounty hunting. For example, you do not need to exclusively clear out Arachne priests to find a lost child.
