    If I poison the traps I lay with the Assassin before I lay them, will they stay poisoned till they are triggered or till the Poison Weapon ability is active on the Assassin?

    And also, if I poison Arrows Of Detonation and they hit say three to four enemies, will they get poisoned?

    And, are multiple poisoning's cumulative?

    I don't think poisoning traps in possible.

    Yes. The problem is finding more of said arrows.

    From what I've noticed, they are. But there seems to be a limit on how many can be active at a time.

    That is the most deadly weapon of the Assassin Bounty hunters just playing with those traps. The poisoned trap much more effective, and cumulative. Try with golems, for example at D'Arnie Keep. Works fine. Poison the weapon first, than lay traps, and be sure the effect is still there when the trap is activated (poison again and again) Adamntite simply loves it!

    The way you describe it, it sounds more like exploiting a bug then of a strength of the Assassin class. :p

    Traps contains arrows, what fired at a certain moment. If the assassin can poison her/his arrows why could not she/he do the same with the traps? If several arrow hits the target, more poison gets in it's blood (or something :) ). This is logical, it explains why is it cumulative.

    If it is a bug, it makes the game better...i mean more realistic.

    I never said it was a bug (don't know if it is), only that Valer's explanation made it sound like the exploitation of a bug.

    My favorite battle, where i can use the poisoned traps is in the first pub on the Waukens Promenade. I go upstairs than some bastard are insulting me. I apologize of course and begin to poisoning the weapon, laying traps. Assassins are not straight persons! When everythig is ready i pay back the loan :)

    A solo assassin just after the Irenicus's Dungeon can collect the 15000 gold easily. :D

    This is the best class in the game i think. In ToB it's harder, but still a good challenge.

    a solo character should HAVE an inventory (not counting what you wear) with a value of 10k gold when you leave ireni dungie.

    trademeet should give another 10k atleast.


    golden rule of looting boys :rolleyes: learn it, memorize it, use it.
