Poison Arrows

Poisoned Arrows

Poisoned arrows allow archers to apply poison effects to their ranged attacks.

Creating Poisoned Arrows

To create a poisoned arrow:

1. Use the Poisoning skill on a poison potion.
2. Target a single piece of cloth.
3. The cloth will become a poison-soaked rag.
4. Place the poison-soaked rag in your top-level backpack.

While the rag remains in your backpack, it may be used when firing arrows.

Poisoning Chance

When firing an arrow, there is a chance that the poison from the rag will be applied to the shot.

The chance of successfully applying poison is equal to your Poisoning skill. For example:

• 75.0 Poisoning = 75% chance to apply poison
• 100.0 Poisoning = 100% chance to apply poison

If a poison application fails, the poison effect may be reduced by one level.

Example:

• Greater Poison -> Normal Poison
• Normal Poison -> Lesser Poison
• Lesser Poison -> No Poison

Bow Corrosion

Firing poisoned arrows causes damage to the bow being used.

Bows damaged in this manner cannot be repaired. However, carpenters can seal bows with wax, which significantly delays corrosion and extends the weapon's lifespan.

Restrictions

A spell target cannot be maintained while firing poisoned arrows.

If a spell is being targeted when a poisoned arrow is fired, the spell target will be cancelled.
