Make Poison

I am a level 36 rogue with a Make Poison skill of 56 ( trophy quest) I have tried making Anger of the Shissar I ( trivial of 52) an dI keep getting told I'm too inexperienced in my craft to even consider attempting this combine. What gives? Any info would be much appreciated.

Can you combine single poisons into groups of 5, 10 or 20 instead of carrying around a lot of singles in your packs?

1. Max skill is 300. (poison making and any tradeskill). You can find recipes right here on ZAM. Go to
the homepage. Click on Database. Click on Receipes. Click on Recipe Search. Fill in the search
boxes; Poisonmaking, Rogue, 345 (skill level). Click search. You will get a list of 1,461 recipes.
eqtrader.com is another good site for info. Recipies and zones where dropped ingreients are found.

2. Skill can be raised to 345 by obtaining "Peerless Pestle". This item is obtained by doing the "Master
Toxologist Quest, which gets you the Master Toxologist Trophy, which gets you the "Peerless Pestle".
Equipping this item gives you plus 15% poison making skill. See NPC Baublie Diggs in West Freeport.
There are 7 levels of trophies. I only did the last one because I was already at skill level 300 when
the new system implemented. I made "Spirit of Sloth until skill level 280, and then "Soulburn" to
level 300. I still have my "Grand Master Assassins Seal". Skill-up points become very difficult at
the higher levels (2% -3% per 100 combines). It took me 1,200 combines to evolve the "Peerless Pestle"
from 0% to 100%.

3. The new system has 3 kinds of poison

a) ROGUE ONLY DAMAGE - Level I (1) to XVI (16) As a level 83 Rogue I am able to make level XIV (14)
poisons. I will move to level XV (15) poisons when I reach level 85. I can buy damage poison in
the POK (West Trader Building - Poison Shop); or make damage poison. All ingredients, except mob
drops are available in the poison shop. There are different flavors of damage poison.

b) ROGUE ONLY UTILITY - LEVEL I (1) to XV (15) There are about 8 different poisons with different
effects that are used in combat. You can have 1 damage; and 1 utility poison applied at the
same time. Utility poisons are made in 2 steps. The dropped ingredient is processed into a vial
of liquid extract. The extract is then combined with the other ingredients necessary for the
final poison.

c) ALL/ALL - LEVEL I (1) to XV (15) There are 2 different types; "SPIDER'S BITE" and "SCORPION'S
AGONY". They have one dropped ingredient. These are made by the Rogue, but can be used by any
character.

d) I suggest spending time with the recipe list.

d) There are also "AUGMENTS" and "TONICS" that I will not address in this post

Hope this helps.

any 1 know some good sights to find the new poison recipes

The best vendors for poison making are in East Freeport. Go into Arena and run straight across it ,You will see the archway to exit arena,go there and take first left ..There you are. East freeport is the single best place to make poisons, there are vendors all around east freeport that sell components to Low and High trivial poisons. Many components that are rare or hard to find can be found here. You will be able to make many poisons without leaving East Freeport (except to go to bank when bags are full..Bank is in West Freeport). East freeport NEEDS a BANK..Anyways, Simply look up your poisons components here on alla and see who sells them in East Freeport, then go to find menu In-Game and there you are.. Most sub-combine ingredients are sold here ie... gnomish spirits,ore blocks and pieces ect... A lot of poisons Can be made without farming anything,and those are here .You just need plat,or make your own.. So good luck !!!

Did SPIRT OF SLOTH till I hit 261 then I switched over to SOUL BURN as I was loseing pp on ever successful combine

SOUL BURN sells for 14pp, plus the mobs in the Overthere drop plat and have a very short respawn. Granted Im pulling like 20 scorps at a time with my warrior, takes about 60secs to kill them, and I get around 5 poison sac per 20. Takes 5x longer to gather all the scorps then to kill em, and even longer to loot and destroy junk.

Still though, I think to get the 40 more skill ups, Ill need 1000+ poison sacs ( 500 combines )to get even close, and thats being really optimistic, even with stats maxxed at level 53.

safe hunts and rare drops to you!

Does anybody have any suggestions on what is easiest to grind with after Spirit of Sloth becomes triv at 275? I've been looking, but everything requires camping drops, bleh..

Any advice would be appreciated.

raised my Poisinmaking to 275 last night and this morning doing Spirit of Sloth.
=)
just 25 more to go

Do you have to have at least 1 training point in Poison Making before any of the recipes work?

I'm a Halfling Rogue of the 23rd Season and none of my combines are working.

I've tried Amber/Gnomish Spirits for Amber Resin..nothing

I've also tried 3 Giant Wasp Venom Sacs/1 Suspension/1 Poison Vial...nothing

Help appreciated. Thanks.

WHY are you guys so old school there are some awesome new poisons out DUDE you can zone with them one they last on you wepons for 10 min each

playatru poisonmaker (stromm)
/ooc INC MGB pickpocket
/grin
/say thanks for your donations
/em fades into the shadows
/em has stolen 10 plat from you!!

OK I nkow this has probably been asked b4 but does anyone know if it is possible to stack same poisons like the shaman's do with their potions?

Any info on this particular question would be greatly appreciated.

is it possible to apply poison to weapons for people...like if they gave you the poison and the weapon, would it be possible to apply it?

Many recepies for some new cultural armor requirs celestial essence. To make celestial essence you need a spell component. There are 3 vendors that sell Scent of Marr in bulk.
East Commons - Lyth Spellstar /loc: +1075 -1040
In a Hut near the WC zone.

Qeynos South - Hanlore Escaval /loc: +305 -570
In a shop called the Herb Jar

Ak'Anon - Clockwork Merchant /loc: +1075 -1040
in Library Mechanamagica near Tergon Brenclog

One of my guildmates asked me to explain poison making and poison uses to my guild. I wrote a summary on EQ poisons that I thought others might find useful. This is by no means "the" definitive guide to poisoning but I think it summarizes the skill nicely:

"Poisons" is one of my favorite topics. They give a rogue some rudimentary necromancer and shaman spell abilities. Poisons come in 4 different types or 'strengths' which are classified as types I, II, III, and IV. There are also several different catagories of poisons which each have their own special effect:

injected - DOT
contact - DD instant
weakness - lower victims STR rating temporarily
muscle lock - slow/snare (up to 2 minutes)
paralyze - root+slow (short duration)
system shock - stun + small DD + knock back
dizzy - lowers AC and reduces ATK rating
madness - increase STR and AC but fast, large DOT (30 sec duration)
flesh rot - long lasting DOT + DD + DEX & AGI debuff
anti-summoned - large DD vs elementals only
liquid silver - large DD vs undead only
anit-animal - large DD vs animal only
brittle haste - increase speed but reduce ATK and AC
blindness - blinds target
feeble mind - mana drain
lower resist - lowers all resistances

Each of these catagories has a type I-IV (eg Flesh Rot I, Feeble Mind II, etc). Each poison catagory/type combo has a distinct name (eg Flesh Rot I is called Solvent Gangrene). Some poisons work best in PVP and not well at all against NPC MOBs (eg mana drain is often useless since the mana pool of NPC is artificially inflated).

Poison effectiveness is also affected by the level of the maker (not the Make Poison skill level but the actual PC level). As a result a level 30 rogue could learn to make type II poisons (which requires Poison Making of 100+) however, because of the PC level those type II's would still only be as effective as a type I. Around level 36 the type II's would start becoming more effective than type I's. Type III's won't be more effective than type II's until level 45. Likewise, type IV's until level 50. So, until the rogue hits level 36 it is not cost effective to make type II or higher poisons.

Poisons are expensive. For example, a common poison I use is Asp Poison (type I contact). It does about 5 hp*PC level DD, instantly. It trivials at Make Poison of 24. I need a regular poison vial, 2 asp venom sacs, and a regular suspenion fluid. To buy the vial cost about 1pp. I make my own if I have the vial components so the vial costs me about 5gp. I have to farm the asp venom or, if I am lucky, I can find it on some vendors where newbies have dumped it for 5gp each. The regular suspension costs me about 8 gp. The total cost for one vial (non-stackable) of asp poison is as much as 2.8pp if I buy everything. Farming takes a lot of time. In 1 hour of farming I got 1 asp venom sack and 3 snake venom sacks- so you see that it can be hard to get components without buying them. The poison is only good for one shot and it can be resisted (not that it happens often).

I was just in LOIO last night, and was going to get mortar and pestle from the poison merchant in the windmill. he DID have vials, suspensions, and a poison book etc., but he did NOT have any mortar OR pestle. i waited around a while to see if some would "pop" in is trade screen, but got bored and camped. Does he not sell it now?? Or will it be there tomorrow?

Where do I find the suspensions to use in the poisons? are they made or do you buy them?

Is there anywhere else you can get a mortar and pestle besides from Toxdil. He won't sell to me and I am looking all over for one.

Being a level 22 rogue I don't mess around much with anything more than tier 1 poisons. This mainly because their effects don't max out until the mid 30's, in most cases. Besides, I haven't gotten my pottery skill to a point where reg vials are trivial yet. So, I have my favorite poisons that fit my level of skill, time and budget:

Snake Venom - nice DOT. Good supplement to my Stilleto of the Bloodclaw

Spider Venom - I once popped a Pickclaw Guard in HK with this. Suddenly he was hitting my group's tanks with max damage of 6-10 instead of 20-40. My group's healer was very happy.

Asp Venom - at level 22 I get a max DD of 87. Add that to my 72 pt backstab. Enough said.

Solvent Gangrene - 5 pt DD + 150pt DOT AND (at level 22) a 26 pt reduction to target's DEX and AGI. Monk's and Rogues beware! Nice for duels. Components are easy to come by in Unrest.

Spine Break - expensive for a level 20ish PC since all components are purchased but it makes a nice root/snare. Reduces targets attack speed. Your group's healer will like this one, too. Good for rogues who like to solo.

I have a morta and pestle to combine my ingredients that i bought from toxdil, apparenlty I cant combine the poison ingredients in it, Basic stuff I Know but for anewbie rogue quite crucial... What do I need to combine poisons?

These sites are good enough to help get you to master skills, so i highly recommend them in addition to allakhazam's magical realm =o)
Although I recomend Raul's site over EQ traders, you should check out both.

RE:Range Weapons

Can i apply poison onto throwing daggers, or arrows?

is it possible to put poison on a weapon and sell to another character, or is it only for rogues?

this is probably a stupid question, but i am just starting the skill and was wondering if there is any profit in it.

thanx,

is poison damage determined by the level of the rogue using it or the rogue who made it?

i.e. if a 20th level rogue bought poison from a 50th level rogue, which level would the damage be based on?

how do u apply posion???

Can someone please explain whether or not you can apply multiple poisons to your weapons? I happened to do this the other day with an Inject poison and a Muscle Lock poison, and they both took effect at the same time when I hit my target. Then I tried a Paralyze and a Blind poison at the same time and it only blinded the target. Whats going on here? Can you only double up certain poisons (and if so which ones) or is it a bug of some sort? The ability to double up poisons is certainly useful indeed, especially in pvp.

I just got poison making and read that you can't really advance in it for a few levels by actually making the poisons only by training. What is the lowest level we can begin to advance poison making in? Thanks.
