First of all, I’m not the “guide making” type of guy. This isn’t a Poisoning and Macro Making Guide for Dummies as I have omitted a lot of basic common sense information. I just wanted to put something on here that is basic and simple to help some others get to GM.
This will take several days of attended macroing. There isn’t a way (that I know of) to macro for hours unattended. There is no sugar coating it, it is a grind. One positive note is gains stay pretty consistent the entire time. Of course, there were times I would get 3 gains on one keg, but then up to 10 gains on another, even in the mid to high 90’s.
0 – 40 Lesser Poison (Obviously you should train Thief Guildmaster –Buc’s Den)
40 – 65 Poison **
65 – GM Greater Poison ***
Some guides will say to go to Deadly at 90,92, 99, etc. I strongly disagree with that. The gains were much slower for me and obviously much more expensive and time consuming.
** Feel free to take Regular Poison further if cost is in issue.
*** 8 gains of one GP keg from 98.5-99.3
7 gains of 1.25 GP keg from 99.3-100
My macro:
Double Click keg (don’t convert to by type, just re-target when you start a new keg)
Pause 2.00 sec
Use Skill Poisoning
Pause 2.00 sec
Target by Type Green Potion
Pause 2.00 sec
Absolute Target (Fish Steaks)
Pause 3.5 sec
Double Click Orange Potion
Pause .50 sec
** Important **
From what I’ve researched, Poisoning macros hang… period. It hangs when trying to select an item to poison, just after you’ve selected the poison. I found that putting whatever you want to poison in a different bag (I put in a bag with my cure potions) and also using fish steaks vs noobie dagger helped a lot. It could just be my imagination, but it sure doesn’t slow it down. So why not, huh?
This guide is for the people that want some knowledge to start training the skill and an idea of ONE path they can take to get there that worked well for someone else. It is not perfect and by no means am I an expert on training Poisoning. I made this guide for the sole purpose of giving back considering there are countless guides that have helped me.
