The Spidersilk Apothecary takes on a new cosmetic look this year to help you differentiate it from last year’s box. This year, it is an octagonal witchwood apothecary. When you look at it, you’ll see the bronze hooks.

The apothecary will come with 10 Transmorphing Spiders. They are:

*The Confectionery Spider – This spider takes any foraged item and turns it into a spun-sugar specimen. It can be eaten for a tasty, sweet treat.
The Websmith Spider – This spider takes 1 row from a skein of yarn and turns it into 25 pieces of {yarn adjective} yarn for weaving.
The Minimalist Spider – This spider will remove the long description from any qualifying item.
And lastly, you’ll get 7…
Metallurgy Spiders – These spiders will change the base metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal of the spider. This year, the apothecary comes with a gold, white gold, rose gold, copper, sterling silver, faenor, and vaalorn spider.“`
None of the Transmorphing Spiders can be altered.“`

In lieu of a searchable spiderweb, a new shop has been added to the Graveyard. Inside it, you’ll find the new Alteration Spiders. These spiders will allow you to add long descriptions to:
Chopsticks
Utensils
Cigars
Paper
Lastly, fishing has been updated to offer alteration spiders as prizes.

The House of Spider item has been retired, as each apothecary houses 80 spiders. We are providing you with 10, so you’ve got room to collect another 70.
