Poison

Poison is an item used to wound players over a period of time. It can be ingested through manually drinking, food or drink, or applied with a Syringe. Players who are poisoned should take an Antidote. If one is unavailable, find a bed to rest or take a Laudanum. It lasts for 7 mins without a cure.

How to Obtain
Poison can be found in containers like most items. It can also be crafted with 3 Dried Herbs.

Use
Drag the poison item onto the item you wish to poison. Shortly after being poisoned, a player will begin vomiting and losing health.

You can poison the following items:


 * Syringe
 * Arrows
 * Stew
 * Cooked Meat
 * Tea
 * Raw Animal Meat
 * Raw Human Meat

Applying an additional poison to a poisoned item will increase the duration, but not the potency.

If you drop a poison on a stack of items, the whole stack gets it.

If you poison one meat and then add it to a stack, the topmost meat is poisoned. Theoretically, if you had separate meats, you could play "Russian Roullette" by poisoning one and then building the stack of meats.

Poisoning the raw or base ingredient means the finished product is poisoned (i.e. poisoning any raw meat used in a stew will cause all 12 instances of stew to be poisoned).

Poisoned arrows loss their poisoned effect upon hitting an enemy. Meaning the arrows you loot from the corpse will no longer be poisoned
