VII. Poisons
Q: How do I train poisons?
A: At level 20, Alliance characters train poisons with a quest from the SI-7 operatives in the Stormwind Barracks. Horde characters can get this quest by speaking with the rogue trainer in the Cleft of Shadows in Orgrimmar. Note that in order to complete the quest, you need to have around 85-90 skill in lockpicking. I would suggest getting it up to 100 before giving the quest a whirl.
Q: Where do I get poison reagents?
A: Almost all of them can be purchased from a Poisons Vendor or "Shady Dealer." However, for blinding powder (which is not really a poison, but requires poison skill to make), you will need the herb fadeleaf.
Q: Can I apply poisons to other player's weapons?
A: No. You can only apply poisons to your own weapons.
Q: What are fadeleaf and swiftthistle, and where do I get them?
A: These are both herbs. If you have herbalism, you can gather them in the world. Gathering fadeleaf requires 160 skill in herbalism, and swiftthisle can be acquired from Mageroyal and Briarthorn, which require 50 and 70 herbalism, respectively.
If you don't have herbalism, you will probably have to get them from another player. Although, you can sometimes get them from the Morrowgrain quest, if you're Alliance, and there are some enemies which will randomly drop herbs. But neither of these are with enough frequency to really make it a legitimate way to gather them. Note that swiftthistle is used for Thistle Tea, which is an energy drink, not a poison.
Q: What do the various poisons do?
A: Instant Poison - Chance on hit that you deal a certain amount of damage instantly.
Crippling Poison - Chance on hit that you reduce your targets movement speed by X amount.
Deadly Poison - Chance on hit that you land a DoT(Damage over time) poison on your target. The effect can be stacked up to 5 times.
Mind-Numbing Poison - Chance on hit to poison the target increasing its spell casting timer.
Wounding Poison - Chance on hit to reduces all healing effects on target by X amount.
Q: What poisons should I use in PvE/PvP?
A: For solo PvE, I generally like to put Instant Poison on both daggers, as it can provide a noticable boost to your damage (roughly 15% of the total damage you deal to an enemy). When I am in instances, I will generally put Crippling Poison on both daggers, as enemies running away can lead to instant death for you and your group. Sometimes, if I am confident enough in my group being able to catch runners, I will put Crippling on one and Instant on the other. For PvP, crippling poison is probably the most popular, as it can be a very useful snare. Depending on your weapons, you may be able to get away with putting it only on one, and putting either Instant or Mind-Numbing on the other, depending on the enemy. I generally do not overwrite poisons I've already applied on a dagger, as the high-level posions can cost over one gold per stack of 10.
