So, i am leveling a rogue.. am at 50 and decided i would like to make my own poisons.. finding a guide made since like 2004 is impossible.. and looking at recipes it seems it will cost 5p per attempt if i buy the items?? Is this correct or is there a cheaper way to make poison? And if this is the case.. is there a reason to not just buy bite of shis from the vendor? are there much better poisons that you make? thanks much
Hey there! I recently took a rogue's poison skill to 300. I went with the vendor-bought Scorpion's Agony to 170 as listed in Hahlfwit's guide. I didn't follow the rest of that guide, however. You know all that caladium, laburnum, larkspur, oleander, delphinium, privit, that you see dropping? Save it all. Hit vendors for it too- they're really cheap and other than the highest levels of delphinium, privit (both of which are used in the paired raid poisons), muscimol, and sometimes oleander, no one really has much use for them. Make the extracts of them- they're not expensive to make, and everything for all of that stuff stacks.
This is what I did when i helped a friend's rogue alt level up poison making. It's really the most cost effective (not to mention easiest) way. ^^
The easiest way to level poison making up is to do the following: 1. Crescent reach freebie points to 54 2. Right there at crescent reach next to the freebie quest guy buy about 10 stacks each of: Formic Acid Waterbane Powder Neutral Wash Solusek Nodule 3. Go to the bazaar and buy all of the stacks of these that you see for a reasonable price: Caladium Delphinium Laburnum Larkspur Muscimol Oleander Privit 4. From 54-300 combine 1 of each item from #2, with any one of the plants from #3. This will make an extract. The extracts from later expansions have trivials over 300 so you can cheaply power level your poison making to the cap with this technique (baz prices dependent obviously, but I recently did it for almost free with this technique). 5. If that doesn't get you to 300, then use extracts with the following recipes: Secondary Poisons: (Archer's Bane, Fighter's Bane, Messenger's Bane, Monk's Bane, Myrmidon's Sloth, Quellious' Trauma - these range from I to XVIII) Tier appropriate suspension fluid (look it up on eqtraders, search for recipes that use that extract) Tier appropriate _____ poison vial (look it up on eqtraders, search for recipes that use that extract) Emulsifier 1 extract made in step 4 All/All Poisons: (Scorpion's Agony, Spider's Bite - these range from I to XVIII) Thick suspension fluid Emulsifier Tier appropriate _____ poison vial (look it up on eqtraders, search for recipes that use that tier of nigriventer/gormar venom) 1 tier appropriate _____ nigriventer venom OR _____ gormar venom (look it up on eqtraders). Hope this helps. Tiny
Alternative path from 54 to 260: Strike of Ssraeshza XVIII - trivial 260 - total cost approx. 1.5 plat per combine Recipe: Distilled Grade A Choresine Sample (5g from Craftkeeper Irus Tindlefoot in Shard's Landing) Stylized Sealed Poison Vial (5g from Craftkeeper Irus Tindlefoot in Shard's Landing) Emulsifier (found on most poison merchants, I usually origin to Crescent Reach for mats) Celestial Suspension Fluid (found on most poison merchants, I usually origin to Crescent Reach for mats)
I tried to make this with my Make Poison skill at 83, but it just says "You are too inexperienced in your craft to even consider attempting this combination". My character is only level 58 so maybe that is the problem, I don't know. Edit: Ahh yeah, it does say required level 100 on some of the mats ... /sigh.
The combine is not about char level its about poison skill level, I don't know about that one specifically but I know many of the newer types of poisons have a min skill level needed to attempt. Some of the basic ones you have to be at the level it maxes at to even attempt it. They did this so that you could not skill up on cheap easy ones that all the components can be bought from venders.
Strike of Ssraeshza # has a minimum make poison skill above the trivial for the #. See http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/sho...)-Rev-Apr-2009&p=227568&viewfull=1#post227568 for a skill up guide and Do Spirit of Sloth at http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=5536&menustr=080080900000 for a complete vendor purchase-able route to 275 skill.

To add some detail to the post about extracts, here are some trivials so you can do them in the best order. There is an alternative path for post 275 when you are done with Spirit of Sloth. Use extracts. IF you have been a clever bunny and have been stockpiling the plant poison components like Muscimol, Delphinium, Caladium etc, then you have made life very easy for yourself. Skillup on extracts All use 1 x plant (drop) + 1 of each of following 4 items bought from Toxicologist Huey in PoK. Formic Acid, Neutral Wash, Solusek Nodule, Waterbane Powder. All ingredients stack to 100. Al results stack to 100. *frantic cheering* Results can be kept for utility poisons. In general the order of increasing skill is Pristine > Immaculate > Flawless > Tainted The dropped ingredients and their trivials are as follows: Pristine Larkspur 288 Immaculate Larkspur 291 Pristine Oleander 291 Pristine Muscimol 292 Immaculate Oleander 294 Immaculate Muscimol 295 Pristine Caladium 295 Pristine Laburnum 296 Pristine Delphinium 298 Immaculate Caladium 298 Immaculate Laburnum 299 Immaculate Delphinium 300 Pristine Privit 300 Immaculate Privit 303 Flawless Larkspur 355 Tainted Larkspur 355 Flawless Oleander 358 Tainted Oleander 358 Flawless Muscimol 359 Tainted Muscimol 359 Flawless Caladium 362 Tainted Caladium 362 Flawless Laburnum 363 Tainted Laburnum 363 Flawless Delphinium 364 Tainted Delphinium 364 So pat yourself on the back if you have been collecting these or head for the baz MeloxXx
