(N)EverQuest Scrolls

The rogue-only make poison tradeskill has always been easy (and cheap) to skill up. However, there have been at least two reworkings of the skill, with different paths being available for each.

EQtraders always has guides at: Complete Tradeskill Guide, which includes pointers to the trade skill trophy quest (do it as soon as you have completed the Crescent Reach basic tradeskill quests).

Other options are:

1. Gather poison making drops and make extracts from them:

In Crescent Reach next to the freebie quest guy buy about 10 stacks each of:

• Formic Acid
• Waterbane Powder
• Neutral Wash
• Solusek Nodule

3. Go to the bazaar and buy all of the stacks of these that you see for a reasonable price, or vendor dive, or collect drops:

• Caladium
• Delphinium
• Laburnum
• Larkspur
• Muscimol
• Oleander
• Privit

4. From 54-300 combine 1 of each item from #2, with any one of the plants from #3. This will make an extract. The extracts from later expansions have trivials over 300 so you can cheaply power level your poison making to the cap with this technique (Bazaar price dependent obviously, but I recently did it for almost free with this technique).

5. If that doesn’t get you to 300, then use extracts with the following recipes:

Secondary Poisons: (Archer’s Bane, Fighter’s Bane, Messenger’s Bane, Monk’s Bane, Myrmidon’s Sloth, Quellious’ Trauma – these range from I to XVIII)

• Tier appropriate suspension fluid (look it up on eqtraders, search for recipes that use that extract)
• Tier appropriate _____ poison vial (look it up on eqtraders, search for recipes that use that extract)
• Emulsifier
• 1 extract made in step 4

All/All Poisons: (Scorpion’s Agony, Spider’s Bite – these range from I to XVIII)

• Thick suspension fluid
• Emulsifier
• Tier appropriate _____ poison vial (look it up on eqtraders, search for recipes that use that tier of nigriventer/gormar venom)
• 1 tier appropriate _____ nigriventer venom OR _____ gormar venom (look it up on eqtraders).

Or (54 – 260):

Strike of Ssraeshza XVIII – trivial 260 – total cost approx. 1.5 plat per combine
Recipe:

• Distilled Grade A Choresine Sample (5g from Craftkeeper Irus Tindlefoot in Shard’s Landing)
• Stylized Sealed Poison Vial (5g from Craftkeeper Irus Tindlefoot in Shard’s Landing)
• Emulsifier (found on most poison merchants, I usually origin to Crescent Reach for mats)
• Celestial Suspension Fluid (found on most poison merchants, I usually origin to Crescent Reach for mats)

For amusement, there are also some of rogue trade skill related quests still available, although these are now mostly useless.  See post on Safehouse.

And, for completeness:

Rogue Redemption gives the Burning Rapier, which is required for the Master Sketch quest.
