Miasma poisons at level 5.
Vamp form blocks up to level 4.

Poisoning Levels

Postby Trent » Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:26 pm

I don't know much know about the poisoning "levels" and Stratics didn't seem to have definistions as to curing requirements for each level. Anyone have this info?
Reason I ask is that I am a bandie healer with 96 healing and 115 anatomy (if that appies).

Appreciate any thoughts.

I copied from the link that Rex provided.

Finally, one must also know how to cure poison. Generally, the Cure spell is sufficient to cure Greater Poison and below, although I myself am almost a Grandmaster Mage, so that tends to help a bit. ;) The most powerful potion is difficult to Cure even with this high of a Magery skill; in my personal experience, I've had to cast Cure three to four times before eliminating a Deadly Poison in someone's system. This spell seems to be somewhere between Deadly and Greater Poison in terms of effectiveness.

Cure potions seem to be the better alternative, since there is no chance of disruption, such as there is when casting spells. Also, a Greater Cure will cure even Deadly Poison with only one quaff. A regular orange potion that was found as loot on an Earth Elemental was able to cure the 5th level Poison inflicted by a Poison Elemental, but that result can not be guaranteed.

To Cure Poison Chart
Potion - Lesser Cure - Cure - Greater Cure
Lesser Poison - Usually* - Always - Always
Poison - Sometimes* - Usually* - Always
Greater Poison - Sometimes* - Usually* - Always
Deadly Poison - Never* - Sometimes* - Always
5th level Poison- Unknown - Unknown - Unknown
* Several attempts may be needed to succeed


A Healer with a Healing and Anatomy skill of both greater than 60 can cure all levels of poisons with a simple bandage. Of course the higher level poisons require a high level of Healing and Anatomy to be successful.

To sum it all up, some good advice for the budding assassin would be to not bother trying to kill people with poisoned food--leave that type of poisoning for skill-gain. On the other hand, poisoning blades will give you a tremendous advantage in both monster and PvP combat (but, again, only if you can manage to get a successful poisoning hit off). Overall, an experienced assassin or poisonous creature is a very deadly foe indeed; adventurers are advised to keep a a few Greater Cures on their person at all times.

Thanks Rex,
Trent

That info is severely outdated, by about 7 years.

There is no "lesser cure, cure, greater cure"
There is Cure and Arch Cure (spells)
There is Cure and Greater Cure (potions)

Bandages are 100% at 115/115 (heal/anat) for all poisons.

Cleanse by fire is the next best thing if you have max karma, you can cure lethal (level 5) poison in one or two attempts usually.

Arch cure could take 2-3 attempts for level 5 poison, as could greater cure pots.

Don't bother with cure pots or the cure spell unless you're dealing with lesser poison.

after checking out the website provided i believe the person using the chart was referring to the chugging of pots in which there is a lesser, reg, and greater cure


not trying to be a know it all but definately working on taking over the ask dara position that may come open someday

I am pretty sure bandages will NOT cure, parasitic poison.

Yes, it's a specialty poison that became craftable with ML I think. You can use it for trapping and it has a 0% chance of being cured.

I left that out because NOTHING cures parasitic poison to my knowledge.
