80 poisoning

[Alterity-{[8]}-]

I heard from someone in game that you actually only need 80 poisoning to apply deadly poison to your weapon... ive went through like 15-20 deadly poison potions trying to apply them to my katana and no success I am 7 times GM and I dont wanna raise it unless I know theres no possible way to do this without proper skill even if I have to use more than 20 potions to apply it. Please give me info on true facts.

Off hand, I thought it was 80 too. The only info I could find was out-of-era:

Some people say that since you will never fail to apply poison after 80 skill, you should stop trying to raise skill and just start poisoning for people. The math is deceptive – although it is true that chance to poison per hit is poisoner’s skill/4, the difference between a 20% chance-to-poison at 80 skill and the 25% chance-to-poison at 100 is very noticeable. Raise your skill to at least 95 before you allow others to entrust you with poisoning their blades for them, lest they not poison their enemies at all and you gain a poor reputation!

It's defiently NOT 80. It's more like 95 I think. I think at 95 you stop failed at DP, but it's weird because I tried about 4-5 of them at like.... 92 or 93 poisoning and failed all of them but then I macro'd for a couple days and got to 95.7 and haven't failed since. Weird huh?

You'll never fail poisoning over 80 skill as long as you have the required skill to apply that poison at all, the min skill to apply deadly is 95.

The 80 skill mark means you won't poison yourself any more on failures.
