Envenom

[.adarr]

I am new to the nightshade. Can someone explain envenom. Is it a 100% passive skill? I do not see it listed anywhere on my character.

On your paper doll, if you scroll down on the top of your Specializations window, you will see your Envenom skill.

Your envenom skill determines which poisons you can use. You can craft poison via alchemy or buy them from Poison Merchants.

Are crafted poisons superior to vendor bought poisons ?

What's the incentive to craft your own ?
(btw I love to craft but why put time, effort, money for same as vendor quality ?)

Nope, the same, however, crafted you can stack beyond 100 whereas vendor poisons only stack 100.

Few things to note about Poisons

Merchant Poisons will stack to 100. Player crafted to 500. There is no differences in poison effectiveness.

If you have +## to envenom say 39+11 (39 skill points in Envenom and +11 from gear) you effectively have 50 envenom, and can use up to level 50 poisons.

You have to drag and drop a poison onto the weapon to coat it originally, but here on eden recorder macros have made reapplying a breeze.

I started a shadowblade. I'm running 13 envenom with +3 to envenom but i can't apply a level 15 poison. Did this change?

[xavek.]

It shouldn't have. That sounds like a bug to be honest. At 16 effective Envenom that shouldn't be an issue.

Been awhile since I ran an assassin, however, I'm pretty sure you can't use poisons that are above your level, even with +envenom stuff. So if you're level 24, you're capped at level 24 poisons, even if you have an envenom skill above 24 due to item bonuses.
