Usage within a fight
As Mage
Basic functionality:
- Skill value increases poison level for poison spell
- Range influences poison lvl as well (lesser distance increases chance to inflict higher poison levels)
| Skill | 1 tile away 50% | 1 tile away other 50% | 2 and 3 tiles away 50% | 2 and 3 tiles away other 50% | >= 4 tiles away |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | Lethal | Deadly | Deadly | Greater | Greater |
| 100 | Deadly | Greater | Greater | Regular | Regular |
| 80 | Greater | Regular | Regular | Regular | Regular |
| 40 | Regular | Regular | Regular | Lesser | Lesser |
| 20 | Regular | Lesser | Lesser | Lesser | Lesser |
| 0 | Lesser | Lesser | Lesser | Lesser | Lesser |
Possible Issue: player with 40 Magery and 120 Poisoning :DISCUSS:
As Dexer
- No poison infliction without Poisoning Skill
- Minimum skill for inflicting poison with a small chance (see min value in table below)
- 50% infliction chance on hit with max value of table below (higher rate is not possible)
- Mechanic: On hitting a target, the same skill check like when poisoning a weapon will be done. On success, there is a 50% chance to inflict the poison onto the target.
- On every hit, a poison charge is consumed (wether poison inflicted or not)
- Poisoning skill can be gained while hitting with a poisoned weapon (when having poisoning skill between min/max values of the table below)
| Level | Poison | Min value (small infliction chance) | Max value - 50% infliction chance (highest possible) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Lesser | 0 | 30 |
| 1 | Regular | 20 | 40 |
| 2 | Greater | 30 | 80 |
| 3 | Deadly | 70 | 100 |
| 4 | Lethal | 90 | 120 |
Poisoning food
- When poison gets applied to a stack, only 1 piece is poisoned
- When a player consumes poisoned food/drink and gets damage the poisoner will be treated as the attacker
- When a player dies and took damage from poisoned food/drink, he can give the poisoner a murder count
- Poisoning drink is not supported
Curing Chances
UO Sagas uses a progressive cure bonus system that makes each failed cure attempt easier than the last.
How It Works
Each time you fail to cure poison, you gain a +17% bonus to your next cure attempt. This bonus stacks with each failure until you successfully cure the poison.
The bonus counter resets when:
- Poison is successfully cured
- New poison is applied
This means that even the most difficult poisons (Deadly/Lethal) can be cured with persistence!

Base formula: (10000 + Magery*75 - (Level+1)*2800) / 100
