This game is great, I have no clue what I'm doing.

It is really a rather simple game. Simply, buy a lantern and then go kill the Serpent of Chaos. Oh wait, spiders can't use lights. Never mind ...

You are a spider, so you will be stealthy, have good detection, but not be the strongest fighter. Also, you start as a Cave Spider which is super weak, but fast. The trick is to hang on until you evolve into a Giant Spider before doing anything silly.

As usual, my starting advice for classes that need melee is to roll 17 in both Str and Dex, and then pick the highest roll that comes up in your spell stat (if you have one ... spider abilities use Dex) or Con.

Buy early gear, including some means of escape (?Teleport) and healing (!CSW). Buy some armor if you can, as much as possible actually for melee guys.

As a Cave Spider, you should then do the early levels of Camelot. Stay on DL1 until you get a few experience levels under your belt and some much needed hp. Though, you can dart at sleeping monsters and probably run away in a pinch (but Farmer's dogs might run you down!) Once you hit CL5, perhaps you are strong enough for the Thieve's Hideout quest. Ask the Mayor of Outpost (building up top) for the quest. After the Thieves, get your reward and accept the next quest in the sequence: The Wargs. This is good experience and should get you up to CL12 or so, provided you can handle them. For a Cave Spider, that is iffy, but the Wargs quest is unique in the sense that you don't have to complete it all at once. Rather, you can retreat back up the stars if things go badly. Oh, and the Wargs are on DL5 of Camelot.

After Wargs, you will be a Giant Spider. I usually move to the Orc Caves at this point. Buy a lot of food for wilderness travel and remember that Hengband et. al. have a special wilderness travel mode: Access it by pressing '<' on the surface. Then you can travel about more quickly. Use 'l' to look about for various dungeons and 'M' to see a map of the entire wilderness. Beware of ambush and use '>' to return to normal mode once you get where you are going. And don't forget the food!!

Hang out in the Orc Caves until you are more comfortable. Don't go too deep (say, below DL20) and watch out for vaults. You have detect monsters, something that 95% of characters lack in the early game so use this to pick your fights.

Oh, and use that Spider Web talent once you get it. Spiders like to setup ambushes and wait for their prey to come to them. You should see the benefits of this ability, but if not, just ask.

Good Luck!

I've played spider in original Pos a bit, so I'm OK with them. I haven't really played much of any Heng-like variant (or even Z-like) variant, though. I took the Vanilla Town birth option for my first, get-to-know-it attempt, and to my surprise am still alive. I assume that also means the location advice is not relevant for this game, but thanks anyway :)

OK, try not Vanilla Town next.

You won't be able to reforge in Vanilla town. Also, I'm not sure what type of spider you are playing, but if it is a phase spider then you'll probably want the town recharging service as well.

Is wilderness really a big turnoff? I know some players simply don't like it but I'm not sure why.

Wilderness is not a turnoff for me (see FAangband) - I just decided to keep it simple and concentrate on mechanics differences for the first attempt.

Also, dead.
