    No, the poisons that can be crafted only work against you. They cannot be added to weapons, arrows, or used against an enemy in any way.

    Poisons are great for Leveling Alchemy, as the ingredients are cheaper and easier to find (most people avoid most mushrooms when farming)

    Then they are great for Vendoring to in game merchants after you get your Alchemy Levels.

    Yes, I wish we could apply poisons to our weapons or some other attack. It could be a skill line even, Poisoner or something like that.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    No. I said coating your bows or weapons. That us a skill and isn't what I'm talking about.

    That's horrible what is the point then? Seems pointless to me. Just like the other said kecelinh. Buy that's it how a great feature is missing is beyond me

    This is an interesting topic that has been brought up before. Someone wanted the ability to craft arrows with specific traits, such as poison, flame, cold, etc... and be able to have an arrow quiver equipped on your character with the ability to swap out arrow types. Not a bad idea. It would be a nice addition to crafting.

    Sounds like a cool idea. The deeper they make crafting the better IMO.

    My source of income in LOTRO was selling light/fire pots (no, I didn't get rich but could afford what I needed)

    I think someone had the idea of it at some point, I mean why have poisons that only hurt the maker? Guess they shelved it at some point for some other idea, or maybe even to not have to deal with the QQ of "Why does xxx get to put xxx on their weapon and I cant"
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    It is about options and defining a role that has made the Elder Scroll series so fun and intriguing. So if I want to be a barbarian type of build that has a negative view of magic but accepts the use of nature to get similar effects I should be able to follow that path.

    There has been past mention of poison making, usually in reference to the Dark Brotherhood guild, but placed in the infamous ZOS zone of "soon"

    It was a cool feature of bows in Skyrim.

    Had forgotten about it until now.

    I am answering his question in it's eventual entirety, if i said no but you can enchant them, his next question would be how.

    Well since that option was brought up at 12:58 by another poster five hours before your solution I figured you didn't really read the thread. Which is not about enchantments but a role play path that has been deficient for quite some time.

    Weeelll... they made the system as it is, so we have poison-effect enchantments for our bows and poison-power skill morphs, while the alchemy potions are more like "bad medicine"...

    I don't mind that.

    I am more vexed that I can't bake my alchemical miscreations into a pie and leave in some NPCs house for them to, uhm, suffer ill effects? it would make robbing them so much easier if you could make them take a nap with a strong "ravage stamina" potion... ;)

    Oh, well, maybe once the dark brotherhood shows up in the game we migfht get some "poison the cup" quests...

    You can apply a poison glyph to your bow, but not actual poisons you make.
