When will Alchemy be able to make POISON?

mrskinskull · August 2015

There must be no interest in making poisons to coat our weapons with.

I would have thought this would be included at launch.

Do you think this will be a part of the assassins guild?

You can make poisons, you just can't do anything useful with them (other than turn in a ravage stamina pot for a writ).
I would like to see it added as in being able to coat your weapons, but I worry about balance.

Balance?

dodgehopper_ESO · August 2015

Hopefully something will be done by the release of Dark Brotherhood.

Well Duall with Magicka/Stamina Drain Poisons

Wish we could use pickpocketing skills to sleight of hand a ravage health potion into a mobs pockets, to watch them use it when they run low on health and then laugh at their expression when they kills themselves instead...

Oh, well.

Maybe the DB will feature some "poisoning" quests...

dday3six · August 2015

A player can only use one pot per CD since ZOS fixed double pots, and there are already pots to increase flat damage and crit. Along with several buffs, debuffs, dots, and CC effects already in the game. Most of the typical poison effects are already accounted for.

Sharmony · August 2015

The only poison that is currently useful in game are suicide pots! But I think as @Epona222 stated:

Likewise I worry about balance or just general thematic as poisons are stealthy and rogue-y by nature, how would you balance this for spell weavers, as poison doesn't really fit into most peoples thoughts of the class. I'm not a roleplayer by a long shot but just interested to explore your thoughts further on this one @mrskinskull.

Also @TheShadowScout

This would be brilliant!

Darkrosesus · August 2015

Poison glyphs seem to be the only option. I've added one onto my bow. Seems odd to be able to make poison potions and not be able to use them. Why did they do this?

Artheiron · August 2015

stop asking the stuff we had in older tes games.

This is what I'm hoping.

OK.
From now on I will only ask for features included in elder scrolls 7 and up.

Why can't I make Viagra with my alchemy skill?

The Devs mentioned awhile back about bringing poisons into the game. Just like jewelry crafting, Thieves and justice guilds, spell crafting and removing the VR ranks, they will eventually, maybe, get to this.

Please do not hold your breath.

You will be able to make a decent poison potion WHEN you will be able to apply it to a weapon. ZOS dropped the ball on this one by creating poisons for alchemy with no way to distribute them. I guess they thought we could open a trade window with the other faction and offer them a drink.....

Why not the air or my blade won't be toxic for a while.

I was hoping to see more use for poison as well. It's just the kind of thing my nightblade would use.

Its a whole untapped side of alchemy.

I'm hoping its in the assassins guild update.

Do you think the assassins guild will handle poison with alchemy or as a separate skill line with skills similar to the bow's poison attack?

Thymos · September 2015

I don't think it will be added, because poison already exists in some skills.

Adding poisons to weapons would basically just mean that everyone will be doing it.

CaptainObvious · September 2015

One would hope that there will eventually be a right click option to coat certain weapon types with poison to at least provide use beyond writs for poisons. From a writ perspective, I guess right now there are just a bunch of masochistic idiots in Tamriel requesting potions of ravage health.

RizaHawkeye · September 2015

This may actually be most valid thread on the entire forum.

Yes, let us use poisons.

Thymos · September 2015

So they let us use poisons... it's just another thing you have ensure that is applied at all times, while everyone else is doing the same thing. There will be a handful of poisons that actually get used, and everyone will have them. Adding it would not really add anything to the game, but ensure that ZOS raises the difficulty of PvE content to compensate.

Let's keep it at the top until zos relents and let's us poison each other!

capnbinky · September 2015

Hope this comes in soon, along with deconstructing/creating jewelry.

Taleof2Cities · September 2015

Negative alchemical effects and the snakeblood passive are nearly useless at the moment.

Hopefully, these could be made useful ... since they're in the game.

As one forum-goer mentioned, could the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood be intertwined with adding poisons or negative effect gear? Devs?

How long do you think we'll have to wait for this? The pink would really bring out the blue of his eyes...

Batcat wears a pink tutu are you not entertained
