Poisoning

Poisoning is a useful skill for melee characters to have. It allows you to apply poison to sharp weapons, such as those used by the fencing and swordsmanship skills. A poisoned weapon will poison anyone you hit. Note that you don't actually need Poisoning skill to use a poisoned weapon but you do need the skill to apply the poison to the weapon. To apply a poison simply double click the poison and target the weapon. Poison will drip off your weapon randomly when it is used in combat.

There are 5 levels of poison: Weak(2), Mild(4), Medium(6), Strong(, Deadly(10). Damage is shown in brackets. This damage is dealt every 5 seconds. The number of ticks (number of times damage is applied) depends on the poison.
