hehe sorry for repeat posts, but there was a little poison cloud around a mummy after i hit it, that mean succussful poisoning? or skill gain or something?
Edit:
okay i got another little cloud, i think it only is working cause i got a regular poisoned dagger, i had two daggers others but they weren't just regular daggers.

Greetings everyone!
Since I am a dagger user and I am trying to get the poisoned daggers work I wonder how much poisoning skill is needed to at least poison with daggers once in a blue moon.
I got both skills needed. I trained poisoning by poisoning enemies,( no, not pigs, was much more difficult...) and got 4 or 5 swirlies doing so. But I seem still not to be able to poison with my daggers. So are those skills working or are they disabled at the moment and I can screw those ordinary poisoned daggers and move on to the magical posioned once?

It is the slowest rising skill I have seen IG. If you want to poison people using a dagger..... there are three types: simple (does nothing without the skill), ornate (does nothing without the skill), then their is the poisoned dagger which is magically enchanted with poison (so does something with NO skill)
good luck!
good luck!

Yeah, I agree. It's daft. Dagger goes into body, covered in poison, poison goes into bloodstream. Uh-oh. Not really art.Amadi Yusuf Randal wrote:The whole "poison skill" is crap.
If you got some strong poison, you will succeed more then with weak poison. But a skill, to poison more or less is crap. How should I "learn" to poison someone during a fight? If I poison more people I am becoming better? Thats not logical. Bah

There should be different level of poison and if there's such skill, a character should learn from a rogue or something, so higher the skill, better chance poison the blade more throughly. With each successful hit, the chance should be the same for the poison goes into the body.
I never see any different between a poison weapon and a normal one. Not the skill increase extremely slow, I suspect each creature has certain degree of resistance. So there's no real point making poison weapon rather than looking good with growing shine.

The poison- and punkture- skill is something completely different.
To get a skillup for poison, you need more than 100% more hits than for punkture.
BUT poisoned daggers are effective weapons that poison from time to time.
And you need to be able to hit your aim to poison it.
I´d say my char has a poison skill around 10 while puncture and the rest of the used figthing skills are between 60 and 70.
I have to add here, that I use poisoned daggers for fighting whenever possible.
I can´t really say how effective it is, everyone refuses to fight against poisoned weapons in duels,
but some time ago I did one-hit such a bad rp-noob who provoked my char with a poison hit (chance ~5-10%),
it needed around one minute for him to cloud.
For little tricks how to raise that skill faster and what poisonede weapons are useful,
you should ask a char who has experience in this regard ig. (like mine)
Addition: From what I tried, npc´s are totally resistant to poison.
