Guide: Poisoning

Poisoning

Poisoning is a skill which lets you apply poison to a weapon or food. A poisoner just requires a bottle of poison and a weapon. If the poisoner fails he has a chance of getting poisoned himself! So have a way to cure.

It cannot be stated enough how SLOW this skill can be. The amount of Greater Poison you will chew through will be enough to make 3 GM Alchemists - and that is with Dungeon bonuses.

PvP/PvM - Poisoning will increase the poison spell potency which is the main item for the Nox Template.

Power Scrolls are not available for this skill; however, Skill Scrolls are available - but are very rare.


Training Method
Repeatedly poison the same weapon/item. Newbie Dagger or a piece of food work well.

0 - 50 Train at NPC Thief or use Lesser Poison
50.1 - 70 Use Normal Poison
70.1 - 100 Use Greater Poison

Just for clarification for others: I believe that the skill numbers listed above are NOT the show real numbers. My fake poisoning is at exactly 70 (real 63.9) and I have stopped gaining off of normal poison.

Cheers!

Skill abilities are ALWAYS based off of SHOWN skill instead of real skill.

The NPC Thief GM is located in Buc's Den. It is the only NPC within the Pirate's Den building which is close to the moongate. Hope this helps!

Nope and not EVs either that I know of.

is there any added benefit to having poison on a dexxer? was thinking of putting poison on my fencer and just wasnt sure if it was a waste and to just add it to a mage later on or something else.

Having poisoning increases your chance to inflict poison upon your opponent. By default everyone has 20% chance to inflict. If you have GM poisoning, that increases up to 40%.

 

[BigTheo]

Ahh. Okay great. Thank you. Thats what I have been trying to figure out and havent been able to come up with an answer. I didnt want to waste skill points on something if it didnt give that great of a bonus. But 40 percent isnt too shabby.

Does eval int effect the poison spell?
Was thinking of dropping inscription for poisoning on my fencer.

So GM magery and GM poisoning so I could cast poison as well as put it on my pointy end...

 

[wreckognize]

yeah u dont need eval

65.5 to 65.8 poisoning = 2 kegs of greater poison...

This is so hard to increase, no other skill took that much cost.

Are you doing that in a dungeon? I GM'ed Poisoning and it took forever but that seems a little....too bad.

I was doing it near water and food not in dungeon.

I don't usually bother with water and food but I wouldn't think of skilling up Poisoning anywhere BUT a dungeon. Food/water is supposedly effective but I highly doubt it's as good as the 50% gain dungeons give.

 

[Cephlen]

This is an awful skill to raise.

One keg of greater poison, in a dungeon with water and food.
Took 19 mins to go through
Raised me from 80.7 to 81 real.

Agreed. Not sure how worth it is in the end either.
