Player Methods of inflicting Poison

Player Methods of inflicting Toxic

If you intend to wield a weapon that inflicts poison, it's important to be aware of your Poison ATK Bonus stat.

Note:
Your Poison ATK Bonus does NOT affect the total amount of damage the poison will do; it only increases the amount of poison buildup you will inflict per hit.

Increasing Poison bonus

Dexterity and Adaptability increase the Poison ATK Bonus stat.

Steady Hand McDuff is able to imbue your weapon with poison with a Poison Stone after you've given him the Dull Ember.

Sanctum Soldier Gauntlet and Crest of the Rat increase poison damage on weapons that have either innate poison or are infused with it:

  • Weapons with innate Poison get 50 points of extra damage.
  • Weapons infused with Poison get 25 points of extra damage.
  • Weapons with innate Poison AND infused with Poison get 60 points of extra damage.
  • These items stack, so wearing both of them and using a Poison-infused weapon grants 2(60) = 120 points of extra damage.
