Poisoned Weapons

Postby Ashiwi » Fri Nov 02, 2001 8:19 am

It would be really nice and helpful if there were a way to clean weapons, removing any applied poisons.

Or is this another of my ditzy self-delusions that there isn't? If so, somebody fill me in.

Having to switch weapons because your poison took, but you don't want to poison the next mob you're working on is a pain. I'd take a bit of lagtime in order to run an oiled cloth across the blade.

Randomly assassinate or backstab some hapless bastard that walks by.

A perma-poisoned weapon, via proc, would definitely be a cool addition (a dagger that continually oozes goo, perhaps)...but something like that, to be fair, should also have a % chance of poisoning the wielder.

If it's constantly dripping goo...sooner or later you're gonna get it on you, too. Image

There used to be a sword of venom that was assassin wieldable, but it has been downgraded to trash.

Besides, I thought you rogues *enjoyed* running around and collecting exotic toxins!

::Ashiwi scratches her head in wonderment.::

I do love collecting poisons. I also get a thrill out of using them (not as much as I do garrote, but that's another story). What I was hoping for, however, was not a spanky weapon, only a way to clean poison off of the ones I have now. There are other workarounds - attacking other mobs until the poison wears off or switching weapons, but sometimes the first alternative is not a viable option and the second can be a pain in the derriere.

I vote yes. Let the rogues clean their weapons. Give it a 5-10 second lag time? Sounds great Image

*bump*
Even this far down the road, I still think this would be a useful tool, and I still would take the lagtime for it.

I suggested this back in Sojourn2, but of course I never get the response that Ashiwi does since she's like a female elf and good looking.. I hate you Ashiwi!!

In the earlier years of your life, I bet you never forsaw one of the puzzle pieces of it being labeled 'Yayaril'. Nobody ever does..

Bumpity bump bump bump bump.

Not only did Shev like the idea, Yayaril professed his everydying love for me. That makes this a supremely bumpable topic. Any chance on this happening?
