In Ultima Online (UO), poisoning is a game mechanic that allows players to apply poison to weapons, food, or potions, causing harmful effects to targets. Heres a breakdown of how poisoning works in UO: Poisoning Skill - The Poisoning skill (part of the Ninjitsu skill set in later expansions) determines the chance to successfully apply poison and the potency of the poison used. - Higher skill levels allow the use of stronger poisons and increase success rates. Types of Poison - Poisons come in different strengths, each with varying damage and duration: - Lesser Poison Weakest, minimal damage over time. - Regular Poison Moderate damage. - Greater Poison Stronger, longer duration. - Deadly Poison Extremely potent, high damage over time. - Lethal Poison (introduced in later expansions) The most powerful poison. Applying Poison - Weapons: Players can apply poison to bladed weapons (daggers, swords, etc.) using a poisoning kit. - Double-click the kit, select the poison, then target the weapon. - Success depends on the Poisoning skill. - Food/Drink: Poison can be applied to consumables, allowing for stealthy assassinations or PvP tactics. - Potions: Some potions (like Poison Potions) can be thrown to inflict poison in an area. Effects of Poison - Health Drain: Poisoned targets lose HP over time. - Visual Cue: Poisoned players/monsters turn green. - Curing Poison: - Cure Potions (Lesser, Regular, Greater, etc.) remove poison based on its strength. - Healing Spells (e.g., Arch Cure) can also remove poison. - Cleansing Winds (Bushido ability) cures poison. Poison Resistance - The Poison Resistance stat reduces poison duration and damage. - Some armor and items (like Poisoned Gloves or Gargish armor) provide resistance. Uses in PvP & PvM - PvP: Poisoning weapons is a common rogue/ninja tactic to weaken opponents. - PvM (Player vs. Monster): Useful against tough enemies, especially with high-damage poisons like Deadly or Lethal. Poisoning Kits - Standard Poisoning Kit: Used to apply poison to weapons. - Ninja Poisoning Kit (for Ninjitsu users): Allows applying poison without needing the Poisoning skill. Training Poisoning - Start with Lesser Poison and gradually work up to stronger types. - Repeatedly poisoning weapons (even failing) increases skill. - Some training methods involve poisoning and curing yourself.

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
