Does Anyone Use The Poisons That "The Game" Insists Dumping On Us

No... I don't ever use poisons of any kind, and I don't do the endeavors that want you to kill using them.

Because of the effort? No killing neccessary, just applying the poison. I just AFK heavy attack a target dummy.
Because it's dishonorable? I usually use the Ogrim from one of the Blackwood event, for them it's just a mild micropeeling.

Yes, I am using the poisons. Would use the potions too if I used potions, which rarely I do.

I use the golden Crown poisons for endeavors and Black Sacraments that require using poison. As for the white poisons that drop from mobs and bosses, I vendor them.

I use them the same way. Sometimes I just leave them equipped when I'm doing easier content because it literally doesn't matter and gets rid of them.

I use them, PvP and endeavors.

tomfant · February 8

These crown poisons are the most useless rewards for daily login. I insta-trash them.

Four_Fingers · February 8

Use the crown poison all the time.

I have a rooted distaste for/dislike of assassins, poisons, stealing, TG and DB in TES. That's been since Arena released, and every game since including this one. Not going to change. And certainly not a big deal, there's always other stuff to do.

I use the crown ones for the endeavors when required and sell all the cloudy dropped ones.

I was using these for the Endeavors, but it takes so long to get I just skip that one now.

If you just put them on weapons and play normally, every 5th LA or HA will proc poison.

I usually go around light-tapping enemies without using any skills, so it takes longer to kill them and there's more opportunity for the poison to proc. Unfortunately, if other players see me light-tapping enemies, they rush over to "help" me and insta-kill whatever I'm light-tapping, so ideally I look for trolls in places where there are no other players running around.

Yes, more so than probably any of the other crown items. In addition to endeavors, I just throw a stack on the weapons of my stamina dps characters. Only really use crafted potions on my main.

Same.

I’ll slot so-called trash poisons for dark brotherhood sacraments, literally only time I use them

SeaGtGruff · February 9

I keep meaning to use the Crown meals and drinks and potions, but never seem to. I’m not fond of trying to use items from quickslot because I end up hitting Q unintentionally when going for W or 1, and I dislike wasting a potion or food or drink that way. I did slot the restoration potion one time when trying to solo a difficult world boss, and it kept me alive long enough to finally solo it.

Cantinee · February 9

There's so many people that don't use poisons/say they are useless... Probably explains the lack of dps in all my queues then. Doubles dots for life baby

LunaFlora · February 9

yes i like using poisons

LalMirchi · February 9

Yes. The poisons from rewards are free & useful for endeavours. They stack up to 1000 items so keeping one stack on every character and a one reserve in the bank is not at all an undue burden.

only when they give us a poison quest. destroy all the others. only time they yhave any value is when you convert them to gems.

OOPS, I forgot about those! Good point.

I save a stack of 1,000 Crown potions which we receive in our Daily Rewards. Any after 1,000 I consider too much and simply delete them.

Generally, I will only use poisons when they are required to assassinate NPCs in Dark Sacrament missions.

Ahhh, I have never done any of those. Interesting.

Dragonnord · February 19

What I would use is an option that let me reject them on the daily reward.

Now that is an excellent idea!!

CrushDepth · March 4

which ones can be converted, as mentioned above, into gems? the daily ones or the in game ones, I can not recall, but at my age that is not unusual.

Only the ones you get from crown crates. Anything convertible will have a purple gem icon next to it in your inventory.

Tri pots and double dot poisons are good. Lol

ajkb78 · March 4

It feels like poisons need a buff really. As something that's expendable and therefore costs gold to sustain your supply they ought to be better than an enchantment that only takes 1 soul gem to top up for ages. Perhaps not for a magicka build, but they shouldn't be so under-performing that most people's default is just to trash them.

Regarding the poisons dropped from overland, I usually vendor them. There have been times during which I used those poisons and those times are the Dark Brotherhood Sacraments which ask that a poison is slotted (sometimes the only poison the character has is the overland kind).
