A while ago (say 2 or 3 years give or take) when poisoned level's 1-4, I'd use 1 maybe 2(but rarely) greater cure potions with my warrior char (no magic or alchemy) and that would do the trick. If I wanted to avoid almost entirely the possibility of being poisoned I'd use an orange petal and poof, poison risk would drop to nearly zero.
I'd been poisoned level 5 only a couple of times and both times, no amount of greater cures would save me, level 5 poison meant I was as good as dead and my char just took a couple seconds to figure it out.
Fast forward to now:
when dealing with silver serpents, using my warrior character that again has zero magic, 0alchemy, no Enhance potion, greater cures appear to be much, much less effective. I end up going through them like a junky tryiing to make candy act like heroin. I used to carry 10 Greater Cures and that was enough to mostly hande 10 poinsening's, now I'm lucky if it handles 1.
Is it just me or did poisen strength/Greater Cure effectiveness change? Is there a way to improve Greater Cure effectiveness without wasting skill points on alchemy for my warrior char?
I craft my pots with my alchemy char who's GM, store them in a barrel and my warrior pulls them from that barrel.
Any thoughts? Orange petals seem to help some, but once poisened, at least from silver serpents, Greater Cures don't seem very effective at all.
$NOTE:
I'd taken a break from UO for a while and have been back on for a couple months now. Lot's of new and interesting changes, things to do, etc. AS always, I end up spending more time on UO than a well disciplined geek should ever do
and of course am having an absolute blast doing so
