GM Poisoning

Post by violator »

Can you GM Poisoning with Greater Poison, or do you have to switch to Deadly Poison at some point?

If you have to switch to DP, at what skill level do you make the switch?

I am at 96.8 real right now, and it seems to have stalled. Using Greater Poison.

Use GP to GM, unless you already have like 10 DP kegs on hand.

Poisoning is seriously one of the slowest skills on the shard, just keep at it.

Thanks. Just didn't want to waste time making GP if it wasn't going to work.

Yes use Greaters all the way to GM. Skill gain is faster with DP but you will waste a ton of nightshade. Even at GM alchy, the success rate for making DP is somewhere around 50%, and you will still consume nightshade on failures.

Oh definitely have experienced that when trying to create the Deadly, and I am GM Alchemist. I got about 2 kegs in and went back to GP.

Another vote for just using GP to GM.

I burnt about 70 - 80k nightshade from 0 to GM poison and alchemy if I remember correctly, so it takes a while. Just keep at it and you'll get there :).
