The Spider King's Cradle is a Nightmare Unique wand, hunted from The Spider King in the Mortal Arena, always at item level 120. It is one of four Exceptional drops on its list — 2.5% of the Uniques that boss gives up, about 1 in 40 — and every kill rolls the list 5 times. It is built on Perfect Plaguecradle Wand — step 6 of the Plaguecradle Wand line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +100 Power, +8% Attack Speed, +18% Poison Damage, +20% Venom Effect, +44% Poison Damage, +44% Projectile Damage, +12% Power and +32% Attack Speed.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Spider King's Cradle — Your Main looses a second orb, each 25% wider at 12% less damage, and their touch Envenoms; a full Venom spreads in Contagion, but the orbs drift 30% slower.

It leans into Venom.

Wearing it hands you Arcane Orb.

“Hush. Everything here is being fed.”
