Tried 20, 25, and 30 poisoning on a char on the test server with lesser poison (used 50 at each skill level). Here were my results: @20 real (27.6 shown): 46% (23/50) @25 real (32.2 shown): 52% (26/50) @30 real (36.7 shown): 62% (31/50) I didn't mess around with it any more than that though since 30 points was all I was comfortable sparing in a particular template I was working on. I am curious if anyone else has tested it further or has a link to some relevant info on when it becomes 100% for each poison. I found something on stratics a while back but I'm fairly certain it's not accurate for here.
You're likely talking about this chart. Given your testing, 50 for 100% LP sounds about right. Maybe it is accurate.
If I can input here, we're advised to train poisoning all the way to 100% with GP because DP is too expensive to do so. If people have trained poisoning to 100% with GP, it means at 99.9, it's still not 100% appliance rate, because in UO, if you can do something 100%, you can not gain.
Make the switch to DP when training, save yourself time. Gold may not grow on trees but it might as well in UO.
OK, yeah, didn't notice the GP/DP rates. According to this, DP is even 100% at 80? Yeah...definitely not right. Well damn...ok, who has the right numbers?
That chart can't possibly be accurate or no one would waste the time and resources to GM the skill. I run 30 poisoning on my LJ and use storebought Lesser Poisons for my katana. I honestly can't recall failing to apply since I got to 30 but it's possible I've just forgotten. Training to GM with GP is the affordable way to go. With DP, you'll be failing so regularly that it gets very very costly. I ran through I think a full keg of DP just to test and got 0 gains. Switched back to GP and got immediate gains, then ran that to GM...on my fencer.
Yeah, the chart has been thoroughly debunked sad to say. I'm really thinking I want just enough for 100% LP, but wanted to see where the cutoffs were so I could really decide
Rock solid at 30 poisoning. I just trained it up from the thief guildmaster, then used it to apply lessers until I hit 30. Works like a charm.
That's good to hear. The minimal testing I did on the test shard had me a bit worried about 30 being reliable enough.
