I am waiting for my xp farm to fill up and I was wondering, what is the best type of mob to farm xp? I have a cavespider, spider, and zombie spawner. I am currently using the zombie spawner, but I was wondering if the other two where better for farming? If anyone could advise me to which one would be better, that would be awesome.
I think cavespider spawns more frequently,
I have no idea though.
It just seems like that when they spawn as you are breaking your way through the webs.
Zombies drop more XP though, I think.
(This is all guessing, just experience)
I find the cave spiders to be the best out of those, mainly because they are more compact and have less health than the others.
However, blaze drop double the amount of XP compared to those mobs, so if you wanted the optimal amount of XP you should build a blaze farm.

Wait....I just looked at the positioning of the spawners and I can activate all three at the same time. Can anyone link me to a good spider(Not cavespider) xp farm?

zombie is definately the easiest one to build. but it only drops rotten flesh.
cave spiders carry the risk of escapees, but can be a bit more compact due to the smaller size of the mob. they drop both spider eyes and silk.
Normal spiders are a bit of a hasle I'm afraid. and they don't give anything the cave variety don't. so don't bother with that one unless it's like right next to the zombie spawner or something. if it is then having a double xp farm is worthwhile just for the decreased waiting times between harvest.
All in all i think skeleton spawners are the ultimate in goodness when it comes to legit spawners. those arrows are like. really really handy. not to mention the bony goodness of bones/bonemeal.
Zombies are the easiest to farm. Skeletons can shoot you. Spiders climb walls. Cave spiders are tiny AND climb walls. You could also try blazes. Blazes give the most exp, but are a bit harder to figure out.

Blazes are really good. altho they need the most complex grinder. they do drop those blaze rods tho. infinite fuel for the melters = win. besides you do need something to build while waiting for those warts to grow.
