you take your weapon and right click with it on the poison filled vial.
your character will automatically sit down and in a few seconds it will give you a message as to whether you applied it successfully or not

If you are just right clicking it, it cant be in a bag- i save a slot in my main inventory, and have that slot hotkeyed. That way I can poison between pulls and put another in the slot during a fight.
Multiple Poisons
# Jun 13 2001 at 9:58 PM Rating: Default
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.

Poison Making Trivial?

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.

Woot! I agree with Sir Bilbo Baggins of Bag End here. If you want to have a sucky attitude like that, wake up and use it in the real world (no that's not a new planar zone Verant is programming) and keep that trash out of EQ. I quit playing Starcraft cuz B-Net turned into, well...the B-Net we all love today. Don't make me quit playing EQ too.

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.
RE: Dyes
# Jul 26 2001 at 8:35 AM Rating: Decent
A good place for all trade skill related items like this is http://www.eqtraders.com - the actual link you want for dyes is http://www.eqtraders.com/secrets/recipes_dyes.htm

Be warned that dyes are probably harder to get materials for than poison, unless you get lucky and find the spawn points before anyone else (might be easier now the rush for dyes has faded some).

You might also want to look at brewing. This is a useful support skill, not only for poison, but also for smithing, where tempers are needed to make cultural armour. This all takes time and dedication though to get the required components - make sure you have plenty to spare before attempting them!

Using poison with weapons other than piercing
# Mar 16 2001 at 4:36 PM Rating: Default
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.
RE: Using poison with weapons other than piercing
# Mar 28 2001 at 5:42 AM Rating: Decent
Young rogues? You have both skills neccessary at lvl 20. By this time, you can BS well into the 70's with a decent weapon. And the big question is, Why have a 1HS primary when you could do more dmg with a piercer?

Personal Poll, A skillful rogue? or a strong rogue?
# Mar 01 2001 at 9:23 PM Rating: Default
Hail, in norrath there are mainly two types of rogues, the ones that go for all str, and a good damage ratio weapon, (i.e. barb/dworf w/ a trak tooth and a base str of 120 complimented w/ all ac/str items) or a skillful rogue (one that brings str to a decent but not to high of a level, and then tries to raise his dex to the absolute highest he can get it.) So what do you all think? Harder Hitting or Better Proc's and quick moves. I'm personally all about the skill and speed, though many respectable rogues I know stick to str, and additions to this are appr. all I wanna do is deal the most damage =).

95 Str, 147 agi, 155 dex...
I do all right
RE: Personal Poll, A skillful rogue? or a strong rogue?
# Mar 18 2001 at 5:21 AM Rating: Default
Actually i agree a little with both, I playa barba and ai like it for str, but i keep the agi up high as well and always travel with poison andhave even been know to keep poison daggers primed right before combat and hot key them in and out. For me I like str and agile coupled with the only thing that is going to keep your rogue alive, cunning and skill. nice post by the way so. for most damage get a good piercer with good proc, carry otsa poison, keep the str and agi as high as possible while balanced. keep the dex close to that. soem of those items will have haste effects or magic users can haste you. So with you skills all avg. with a slight lean to str and agi you will be one fast, hard hitting terror machine. dont worry bout ac it comes with the good items :)

I would have to agree with previous post. A balace is best. I find that a STR of around 140 is good for me right now (lvl 29) and dex at about 120. Also high skills. But I try and solo as much as possible. Great idea on hotkeying poisoned daggers Shadow. Have to do that sometime...
RE: Personal Poll, A skillful rogue? or a strong rogue?
# Apr 06 2001 at 4:20 PM Rating: Default
Unfortunately you can't poison a weapon, only the slot the weapon goes in. If you put poison on your Burning Rapier while its in the secondary slot, then swap it out for a slashing weapon before the fight starts, then the first time you hit with that slashing weapon in combat, you will 'cast' a poison on whatever you hit. Hot-keying a weapon in or out for poison purposes will do nothing but waste your time and limit things you are paying attention to in combat.

Kelthur, I assume you are some sort of barbarian or Dwarf type, because at level 39, with +48 STR from items, my STR is still only 113. Of course, both my DEX and AGI are above 180, so I guess that balances...

RE: HOW?
# Jan 23 2001 at 10:29 PM Rating: Default
we first, u pick up weapon left click, right click on vial (cannot be in container) then put it back on, there u go, to make poison, u need a mixing bowl (there is a store to right of monk guild, go to her, sneak behind her, she sells a mixing bowl, then put the components into the bowl and mix it (such as: 3 asp sacs(or 2 don't remember) suspention (where can i find one of these/make if anyone knows?) and the vial( pottery skill)

note: here is a useful item to conserve space for of ur inventory - Grizzly bear potion bag ( put 10 of any potions in and u will give 10 charges of that potion in 1 inventory slot)

here is a nice quest to get poisons if u cant make yet: dwarf in dagnors cauldren wants 3 giant wasp sacs and 30gp, u get a poison pot for that, another super great quest is the bug collection (look it up in misty thicket quest page) really rewarding u get a 10charged strong poison potion
RE: HOW?
# Feb 24 2001 at 8:57 PM Rating: Default
Hate to say this but these are wrong.
First you dont use a mixing bowl, you use a pestle & mortar, 6 slots with combine.
Then you add the ingreds, that bit atleast is right, hit combine.
You cant make till 20th though, but start saving ingred early - youll need them.

To apply, just right click the poison bottle, youll then sit and apply to the weappon in your primary slot.

Lastly Bear skin potion bags only works with POTIONS, not poisons so dont waste them trying to make multi dose bottles.

Scouts Poisons
# Sep 18 2000 at 9:59 PM Rating: Default
Stopping at my usual ranger merchant in Lesser Faydark, I noticed a book I had not seen there before, entitled "Scouts Poisons." The inside cover reads "Expin's Scout Handbook." The book contains recipes for poisons which affect only animals. The book indicates that the poisons are sanctioned by Tunare, so I have to wonder if these are poisons usable by non-rogues. Has anyone more familiar with the art of poisons come across this book, or does anyone know if these are still rogue-only?

vials and pottery (should you buy them or not?)
# Sep 08 2000 at 4:08 PM Rating: Decent
ok here's my experiences with poison vials and the make poison skill. I have noticed that even though it is usually cheaper to buy the components for an item and make it yourself than buy the finished product from a vendor, it is still cheaper to buy the regular poison vials than make them yourself. However, in the case of the lined and sealed vials, you will most definitely want to make these yourself using pottery. Lined vials are nearly tripple the price of a regular vial and the sealed vials are about five times the price of a regular vial. Since the regular vials are only marginally cheaper than the pottery components that go into making one, the lined and sealed vials can be obtained at a greatly reduced price if you make them yourself, compared to the regular vials.

In other words, get that pottery skill up and make your own lined and sealed vials, it will save you a lot of money in the long run. And since the patch for poison, you don't have to worry about losing the vial if you fail the make poison attempt so any vials you lose during the pottery attempts will be made up for when you fail those poison attempts. Now you need to be pretty highly skilled at pottery to make vials, let alone lined or sealed, but if you check out the pottery sections on this site, it should be no problem getting the skill up, it's one of the quickest skills to learn.
