Poison Taster's Cape

[Alistaire]

I camped the item to pop the mob for about 20 hours over 3 days, got 1 drop. NM didn't drop. havn't gone back

Similar, maybe a bit more like 14 hours in 3 trips to get a pop item, no drop (with TH4). There's a thread in the WotG section on it.

idk why ppl are saying this is just situational, i find it godly, 1 tick is 1 tick....and on your back. the argument about wasted slots? serious? seriously?? SE has given us countless gobbie's now, not to mention the fact that if you cant lvl alchemy to 33+ and cant afford to synth these, u phail. i dont see why you dont have the space for a few stacks of poison pots. the juice argument is kinda pointless since you could use juice as well as having this. ppl whining and crying for a dalm, morri robe etc (granted they have other nice stats) but imo this piece is amazing....now getting it to drop is another question i guess lol. GL to all hunting it

you're an idiot. 70 slots isn't enough for several different jobs. as a rdm, i already can't carry all the gear i'd like to, there's no way i could carry not only this cape, but poison pots as well.

now go back to your dd job, where inventory isn't an issue.

I want one for greater colibri camp (just cast poison so it reflects on you), but it's not worth the time really. Pellet drop rate is retarded and the cape drop rate isnt much better

[Pergo]

i guess it would be okkkkkkkkkk for colibri camp, but poison1 costs 5mp and lasts 30 secs, 60 sec? i don't know. you'll have to get 5ticks to break even on mp, which isn't bad, but you're probably not going to net more than 10-15mp out of it.

poison 2 costs 38mp and has a duration of 1min30, i don't think you're going to get 38ticks in 1min30sec, and if you do, you'll barely net any mp back.

if SE was clever, they'd let it either A) 'refresh' as much mp as you are dot'd for, or B) not restrict it to poison, but allowed any source of dot for a 1mp/tick refresh, or maybe just even sublimation so sch could get a nice refresh piece

Not even worth using it on Colibri. Poison 1 lasts 10 ticks and costs 5 MP, which means you get a whooping 5 MP back from using that cape.

Poison II lasts 40 ticks and costs 38 MP, so you get 2 MP back as well as an annoying 10 HP/tic dot.

If you want it for the sleep immunity it means your BRD(s) fail.

wow, lil hostile are we, why dont you calm down or just stfu. if you can make room for a few extra slots, you got issues and are prolly hoarding useless crap, w/e tho, idc. sry for derail.... nvm, say w/e you want, not gonna reply to this ne more lol, got better shit to do, peace

You're as dumb as a sack of rocks :>

[Jingseng]

if nothing else, there are a few fights/events where it is recommended for players to eat a poison pot to prevent sleep (or stronger poison). If you have to poison yourself, might as well get something out of it (assuming the cape is within the realm of attainability).

[Linktri]

Necrobump is necrobump. This piece wasn't effective for refresh vs. other options three months ago and isn't now. If you want one because you think it's awesome, you are of course entitled to your opinion. At least you are in my country. Other cultures around the world might feed you to rabid wolves.

Casting poison on Colibri is not guaranteed 100% to be returned to the caster. So, you might just end up poisoning a party member, which you'd then have to remove.

The Solitaire Cape is better for damage casters.

Poison potions are 1 dmg every 3 seconds for 60 seconds. So you get 20 MP per minute of poison. On Bismarck, that's 240 MP over 12 minutes for 13k gil.

Pro ether is 15k(ish) and restores 250 MP immediately and occupies one spot. You also don't have to spend an untold number of hours camping for a pro ether.

[Alistaire]

The cape is for when you would be using poison pots anyway, and that's about it.

[ramp]

But imagine using both the cape and a pro ether, mp goodness! The only thing the cape has over the ether it doesn't give you the medicine effect.

Still if you're in a fight where your mp is the limiting factor, every little bit of refresh helps.

[Tsukasaz]

The cape has a shitty drop rate, it's not worth the time or effort camping it.

End of thread.

you've clearly never played rdm, blm, or sch.

If SE was cleverer, Rdm could equip Anubis's Knife

If SE were nice they would have made the cape tic for -1 hp +1 mp but granted this item is genuis compared to the lolhydra torque. *Sigh* Why do they release so much gear that probably will never get used.

[mdkuser]

Do not argue wether it's worth the inventory slot or not. If you think its good, get it, or else dont get it. That's all. I think it's good, but i dont think anyone in their mind would farm it for meripos or shit liek that, considering the hell it is to get.


This cape is typically for events with time limits like salvage/einherjar. 10k stack of poison pots lasts 36 minutes. A melee in einherjar or salvage will get food ( 2k) one-two rr item ( 4k?), poison pots/echos/Hi pots ( 5k?), total 10k+. so 10k in poison pots for einherjar or salvage boss looks ok money to spend on meds.
