<div></div>Basically poison is a skill.  Just like your weapons you have to have the appropriate skill to use diffrent sets of poisons. The first poisons you can buy off merchants will be in like Stonestair, Longshadow etc off alchemist merchants those take you up to skill level 50. After that you can go to efp in the poison shop and they have poisons for skill levels 50,100,150 there ok but pretty much once you hit the 150 range you will wana go with playermade.  Each poison is basically color coded but <it only took 6 months> they also have a fairly good description, I use primarilly purple colored ones as they have the top DD and lower DoT, they scale down to med DD med DoT Low DD med DOT and high DoT low DD, basically soloing and pretty much if you got a good taunter high DD is way I go. The skill raises automatically by 5 everytime you level all you need to do is hit "L" on the keyboard and look for Poison to know where you are at.  Basically this is your DPS kicker, poison combined with ranged atm at higher levels can put out a good amount of damage, but seeing as we arent rangers, it gets limited to in close fighting as we cant just sit back and do our DPS, and yes you have to pay for it, depending on your server, the handcrafted poisons run about 2 gp and the legendary 12-15 gp per vial on my server, fortunately I have a 60 alchewmist in guild and a almost 50 one plus I am leveling one up aswell because I am tired of paying to do DPS.. Hope that helps some. edit as far as using them u put it in activatable slot, then right click and use and it applys to your weapon, if you die you loose the poison, so im sure you can see if your paying 12 gp for poison and u die you have to reapply it and thru the course of a night I usually burn thru 2 uses naturally and think there is 7 on the best player made stuff so 2-3 uses a night of legendary and I go thru on a non heavy raid week about 75ish gp worth of diffrent poisons cos on raids I use 3 kinds and some harder mobs, at lower level it wont be as bad you might go thru 10-14 gp a week. <div></div><p>Message Edited by NerroVI on <span class=date_text>10-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:24 PM</span>

All non-bard Scout classes can use poison, that is Rogues (Swashbucklers, Brigands) and Predators (Rangers, Assassins) but <b>not</b> Bards (Troubadors, Dirges). <div></div>
