snakes and spiders

[Erasong]

I dunno. I've died to many a large spider early on trying to collect silks on live.

I've never seen a snake out of a cage, and spiders freak me out.

That's not what you meant tho was it. heheI'msofunny.


When I was fightin them snakes n spiders I never found anything wrong with poison. and I was too lazy to cure it because the duration was so small. However, I also remember avoiding spiders just because poison was a pain. So maybe I just didn't experience it enough to notice it was messed up. but from what I hear over ooc, it seems it's not the poison that's the problem, but the amount of hp the poison takes (per tick and/or from duration I'm not sure). I hear that "weak poison" is a killer.

I suggest people just avoid snakes and spiders. Cuz hey, guys, they bite. And they got venom.

The spell data for Weak Poison is just fine. When cast, it adds 2 poison counters. 6 dmg initially, then ticking.

I think the problem is the npcs are proccing the wrong poisons. :T

Is there something wacky going on with spiders/poison?

Spider and snake npcs need more data as to which poison they should use. This thread and its links are here to help correct the problem.

I'm not sure if this helps in any way, but I quickly googled spiderlings, found a link to Alla, and in the mob bestiary, it does not show the spiderling being capable of casting any poison.

Subsequently, I googled a cistern asp, and it displayed the appropriate known poison the mob used.

Perhaps spiderlings shouldn't be posioning at all? Unsure if the info I read is 100% accurate on Alla. Heh.


EDIT
The mob info posted reads: "The spiderlings are the non-posionous version of the spiders. They are non-agressive, but the are EXTREMELY social, and will join in if you're fighting one anywhere near them. While they can be excellent xp for the younger player, they do come in a variety of level ranges."

Ah you're definitely brave to train on those spiderlings if you aren't a pet wielding class.

My warrior got its butt stomped at lvl 3, i think it was doing 6dmg- per tick.

[nilbog]

correct me if im wrong but the main issue was level 1-2 spiderlings and snakes did not poison at all in live no?

Quite possibly. Can anyone help support this?

[Atern]

IIRC, the only spiders that proced poisons were the ones that dropped spider silk. I don't remember any spiderlings procing poison.

[Finawin]

Spiderlings never poisoned. The higher leveled spiders procced a poison, but definitely not spiderlings.
