Make Poison

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

New to this whole weap poisoning thing - once you poison a weapon, how long does it stay on ur blade? Does it last for just the one mob? Or a time limit? Or until you log?

Any info on this would be much appreciated

Lvl 57 rogue, have tried 200+ combines now
without any success to hit 300.
If you follow the cap lvl math.
57 x 5 + 5= 290
I am at 299 so this doesnt seem to be the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

cheers

I have been working on my make poison skill for ages. And have just finish trivialing Calacium Rot at 172. I read that you can use skill points with the guild master in the PoK to raise your skill further. When I try he say that I am already trained to my experience or the like. I was lvl 50 at the time and have just got lvl 51 (with the same response). I can increase my own skill buy combining new poisons (i.e. i am not max out for my level).

My question is this- Is the previous note about being able to train with the DE ROG Guildmaster to 200 (if you have the plat) incorrect?

What stat or stats is poison making based on?

str dex wiz int?

There is a morter/pestal seller in Shadow Haven upper floor. I kept thinking it was a mixing bowl till I got smart and took a close look at it. Hope that helps.

He is upper deck - far left side - down about three buildings (right before the bank block).

PoK has poison supplies on the west side, upstairs south of the fishing pool

I would like to know if there is a way to stack poisons like the Shammy do Potions.. is this possible ? if so, how? if not, we should petition the want list for it. and also that ALL the poisons are duration based not 1 hit. so that it would become more productive for cost reasons

I am a level 34 Rougue my poison making is 175. The skill went from 172 to 175 in about 20 tries then in 400 tries it never went up. I stopped!
Am I maxed for my level?

Can you buy training points... and ifso how... i want to buy a coupple... and how much would it be for a rogue

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.

Ok, I've searched everywhere I could think of. I have a pretty decent list of poisons and their ingrediendts, probably not nearly all of them, but it will do, but I can't find ANY information on dyes except when they are trivial... Any info would be appreciated.

For all of you young rogues who prefer using weapons OTHER than piercing in your primary slot (you have a great 1hs or 1hb weapon or you're trying to raise skill) :

You CAN poison any weapon in your primary weapon hand simply by applying the poison with a piercing weapon, and then switching in the non piercing weapon. You dont actually apply poison to the weapon, you apply poison to the weapon slot.

I've successfuly used poison with Runed Falchions, Yak War Clubs, Barbed Whips etc.
