Some info on Crawlers and Steal:

1. You can not steal Silk Thread from the Carnivorous Crawlers in Buburimu Peninsula!

I am a THF49 and I was there farming silk yesterday. I tried around 20 steals and never succeeded. They do drop the Silk but at low rate, even with TH2.

2. You can steal Silk Thread from Caterchipillars in the Maze of Shakhrami. Succeeded 9/10 times. Oddly enough, they did not drop Silk Thread!

I killed about 20 of them and they NEVER dropped any Silk. I will go there today and steal 12 Silk and kill others while waiting for Steal to cool off. This should confirm if they drop Silk at all. If I don't get a drop in 1h I will post again. Just want to make sure cause you can have a bad day even with TH2.

I'm 99.9999% sure I've gotten silk thread drops from Caterchipillar. I'll try to check again tonight.

I have had more than one friend farm the crawlers in the Maze both the higher and lower level ones for silk. I cannot comment on their drop rate compared to crawlers in Buburimu but I know for a fact that at the very least up till this last update they did drop silk.

All crawlers in Maze of Shakhrami drop Silk Thread. I've killed thousands of them. Silk thread can also be stolen from them in Maze.
Silk thread is a rare drop in general. Sometimes i did get drops for 20-30 kills, and sometimes 4-5 drops in a row => Luck, Moonphase, Day.
Having THII does not mean you will be granted with a rain of rare drops.

There are two types of Crawlers in the Maze.

Carnivorous Crawler
Lower Level, about same as in Bubumrimu Peninsula. They drop Silk. I have not tried to steal but i will try and post result.

Caterchipillar
Higher Level, these are the one's i was reffering to. I could steal 9/10 times but never got a drop. As stated above, this can happen thats why i said i will confirm. I know that TH2 does not guarantee drops but if i kill almost 50 and get no drop then i really had a bad day. Anyway, i will confirm this to make 100% sure it is not bad luck, moon phase or the t-shirt i am wearing while playing ^_^.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I've removed the Silk steal from the Carnivorous Crawler in Buburimu Peninsula. If any of the others need to be changed, I can update them as well.
