Poison Making

Do we have any Poison Makers in the guild? Griffon has been able to make poison for a few levels now but i have been reluctant to try it. Was wondering if any rogues out there had any skill in the trade?

Also: i've checked for the equipment i will need and if ny potters make poison vials, lined poison vials, or sealed poison vials you've just found a buyer Laughing out loud

Also: i need zombie skins, grave mold, darkbone marrow, and amonita phalloides if any lwer levels chars or alts go adventuring into unrest. will by them of course...

How to get good at poisons somewhat fast...

Righty... The posts above this one are ancient, so I'll just put this thing here to give a small tip on how to increase your poisonmaking skill quickly.
This is not the cheapest method out there, but if you don't think you'll die from loss of blood spending a few plat, this tradeskill is well worth it in the long run and any rogue with self respect should get really good at it since the high end poisons you can make later with little or no fails add a bunch to your already considerable DPS. Not to forget grandmasters assassin seal quest (wich requires you to do 8 poison combines with trivials ranging from 285 to 387 and some of the stuff there can only be found from mob-drops)
This recepie is what I used to get up to where I am now, 231, and I will keep using same stuff soon to get even better.
The nice thing about this poison is that you can find everything you need for the combine in Abysmal Sea or PoK at the poison merchants there.
The trivial for this poison is a nasty 275 (unless they changed it recently) and the poison itself is a dorky one shot thing, not like the nice ones that becomes a 10 or 15 min procbuff on your weapons.

Spirit of Sloth
Components: 2 unstacked creeper ivy, 1 ethereal suspension, 1 sealed poison vial
In: mortar and pestle or marble mortar and pestle or collapsible mortar and pestle (any will do)
Yield: 1
On Failure Returns: sealed poison vial

Even with a puny skill in making poison when I started this one, I had no problems getting one successful combine very quickly and as soon as you get one done, it can be added to your favourite list in the Mortar & Pestle of your choice. After that, all you need to do is buy the ingredients til your inventory can't hold no more and klick 'combine' and 'autoinventory' while watching your skill tick up nicely until your mousebutton and indexfinger screams for mercy.

Poison Making

raising skill in poison for those without as much plat

1st off throw a few skill points in to make and apply, now I have found most of this can be done in AS but my orginal guide reccommendeded WK Gildin Tsxfodder (n3000, n13400) and start with

Athropic Sap
Lined vial
Constrict suspension
2x Alocassia root

takes you to 98, if you apply this as you go it will take your apply poison to roughly 106, dont wait for it to wear off just keep layin em on thick.

Again most stuff I did find in AS /PoK,

Calcium Rot
Sealed Vial
Constrict suspension
2x kings thorn

takes you to make poison 172 and apply about 130-150

If you are making your vials a good vendor is Cronium Darkbade in the top of the middle island (n230, n830) in dagnors caldron, then Unrest is right there for farming zombie skins and poison drops like grave mold, darkbone marrrow and aminatat phalloide.

If you have 28 skill points left this is a good place to spend them. Once you hit 180 it takes about 30 - 40 combines per skill point sometimes more. If not these 2 poisons will get ya there from stuff you farmed in Unrest

Visceral rot
sealed vial
larent suspension
grave mold
darkbone marrow
wood rose (can get from vender in steamfont that has the kings thorn)

Essence or Rallos
sealed vial
larent suspension
2x amanita phalloide
pixie dust (from lfay pixies at tower watch out for brownies)

if you have tons of plat and dont want to farm the components you can head to FV ( I havent gotten this far yet so can verify if the components are available elsewhere). Brak daggermist in rogue guild (n3600, p2300)

Spirit of Sloth
sealed vial
ethereal suspension
2x creep Ivy

Any of this will take you to 250. Used to be able to skill up with stanos for 100 pp a point from 200 to 250 but I believe this has been nerfed.

this guide was orginial done but Furina goldfinger and last edited 1/12/2 and abreivated by me

hehe, well it's not even that expensive actually to use the spirit of sloth from start to end. I just looked in my mortar before they took down servers again and Spirit of Sloth is still trivial at 275.
I think I spent a little less then 1k plat to get to 200+ with that one recepie.
Since it yields one of the vials back on failure, that saves a bunch. And the poison itself, on success, I sold back to vendor.

And I can confirm that the stuff needed for Spirit of Sloth can be found in PoK as well as Abysmal. Sticking out tongue

However, save one of the spirit of sloths. it's one of the 8 combines for assassins seal (West Karana, Renux Quest) if I'm not senile again.
