Poisoning Success Rates?

Hi,

I am curious about the success rates for different poisoning values. I searched the compendium and the forum but couldnt find the relevant formula anywhere. Can somebody provide that information for UO:R?

Thx.

I don't think that's posted here anywhere, or if anyone knows it off hand. I can dig around in the RunUO files and see if I can find anything though.

Supra can you clarify if your question is regarding the chance to apply a poison to a blade or your chance to envenom the target with your blade?

The chance to envenom is 50% per succesful hit. My question is about success rates to apply poison to a blade. What I have read e.g. @ Stratics is not applied here (probably due to other era rules).

I don't know how to read this very well. I can see an obvious %5 chance to poison self on failure and if I'm guessing right, I see an %80 chance of success to apply, if you have the skill to use that level of poison. If one of the coding/math nerds around here could translate it better, that would help.

I think it's a 5% chance to poison yourself if your skill is less than 80.

Beyond that, it looks like your chance to poison something is buried in CheckTargetSkill, and I for one have no idea how that works.

Thanks for that code and first analysis. Its the first time I look @ UO code. To be precise, there is a 5% chance to poison yourself if you fail to poison the weapon (dont know what that chance is however) and have below 80 skill. I'd love to check that later. Also there are shurikens and infectious strike mentioned, which means that this code may be not applied in UO:R.

The default RunUO code incorporates many of the newer features implemented after Renaissance. It can be enabled/disabled through various means, not always directly in the code you see.

I just found this scrap near the bottom of the Stratics page, though not sure if accurate to RunUO/Era:
I was asked, at what skill could I apply different levels of poison to a blade?

To test this, I used this method:

- Skills increases started at 20 and increased by 10 to GM.

- 10 poison potions were used on food.

- The % was the success number VS. number of to attempts.

- If there was no success at a level of poison, the next higher level was not attempted.

Note:

This method wasn’t very scientific. RNG could have played a large part in the lower percentages.

It is interesting that at 80 skill, everything jumps to 100% chance of success.




SKILL LP P GP DP
20 60% 0 NA NA
30 60% 20% 0 NA
40 70% 40% 0 NA
50 100% 50% 0 NA
60 100% 60% 10% 10%
70 100% 80% 30% 20%
80 100% 100% 100% 100%
90 100% 100% 100% 100%
100 100% 100% 100% 100%

I found that too, but can definitely say that this table is not applicable for UO:R. I know from experience that GP is not 100% succesfully applied up to 90+ skill.

A little off topic but does poison have the percentage of your poison skill to inflict the next level of poison here? Also is pot curing out of DP almost 100 percent success rate? (Rumor mill)

Skill does not impact application beyond applying it to the weapon. There is no bonus on hit for level.

DP is not 100% curable by a single greater cure potion. Occasionally it can take upwards of 4-5 cure potions to get over it.

Thanks! I might have to start dipping my weapons in Xeguggs grimey-ness!
