I've heard that they have a good drop rate from Spinners in Mamook, but not only is that hearsay but those mobs are level 78-81.
Spinners definitely drop pretty well, 1 web per 2-3 kills I'd say (no THF in pt). They're a pain to kill tho, we did so to help someone get a merit point (he needed 3k xp), in a team of 5 75s, and their sickle hurts a LOT (and their non-hasteable slow sucks too). On top of that they link, so not exactly solo material.

o_O;;; This really surprises me because to me, ToAU made it much, much, much easier to obtain spider webs in the expansion areas. My boyfriend who is a lvl 75 thief has solo-ed the Aht Urghan Attercops many times and has gotten a lot of webs; his inventory would be full of them before his exp band wore off. ;P He did bring antidotes with him to help deal with the poison. (Or I'll tag along with him with my white mage.)

Spider webs don't drop all the time, but with a thief, they drop pretty often (at least with a lvl 75 thief with no TH3). Farming during a full moon helps as well. ^^
