Just a quick question here - Is it still the case where the only way to increase the poisoning skill is to act as a smith and craft poisoned weapons?... Because it sure seems that way, and when/will this be fixed at all?

You can also fight with certain poison weapons to increase it.

yes, certain weapons will increase it, but I believe poisoning is a Skill, and as such....I believe as you improve, that other 'weapons' will become available to 'use' for poisoning.

Crafting poison weapons to increase 'skill' is expensive or dangerous and pointless in quantity since no NPC buy them. I don't recommend 'crafting' for the skill alone. "Crafting" many poison weapons could also be viewed as "Powergaming"...a No-No. Be careful how many you make and why. A GM may be watching (they can be invisible you know).

I would talk to warriors IG about which weapons to use, then do that.
