Each to his own I guess, but I don't think the ice wastes quest is that hard. Not that the Wrathful Spirits is hard either, it is just that there is more of an element of lost control on that quest than on the Ice King. If those spirits die, which can happen pretty easily, game over. Ice King really depends on your skill at surviving rather than keeping the king alive. Additionally, Ice King seems to be somewhat bugged in that after the initial one or two waves, the quest actually completes and the spider comes out while there are two more waves of dryders to show.

I don't know if it has been changed but there was a trick to the Wrathful Spirit quest to guarantee success. Friendly spirits spawn when you kill the grasping darkness in the vale. The trick was to leave one group of grasping darkness alone. Take the Wrathful Spirits quest and deal with the evil spirits. If all the good spirits (the visible ones) are killed, it wasn't game over because one group of friendly spirits has yet to be spawned. Kill all the bad spirits and then kill the grasping darkness to spawn the last group of friendly spirits. Quest completed. I spent many times failing this quest due to good spirits being killed, until on one run I decided to bypass one group of grasping darkness. I was surprised to see that I wasn't returned to ToA when all the good spirits were killed. I did many more spider runs using this trick.

Wow, wrathful spirits quest can actually fail? Guess you learn something new every day.

im bout 85-90% sure me and my necro buddy were the original UW duo to do spider runs. we charged 20k and u kept all drops for yourself. takes around 15-20 minutes. we would do anywhere from 8-11 runs per night. once we got the first handful of people thru they started to recommend us to their friends then soon we had constant PMs wantin runs. then people started gettin curious and staying within map range to say how and what we done to do certain parts. if they didnt figure it out, theyd PM me and ask how. of course i wouldnt tell. then within a couple weeks we'd see MANY 2 man duos doing runs. it took us only around 4-5 tries to do the WRAITHFUL SPIRIT quest to get a 2nd spider but we wouldnt let anyone tag along for the smite portion. heres some screenies to show its hard but highly possible. heres some nice screenies.
