Zaikk's Talon

[Invasion_Dec]

That and Fly Agaric Mushrooms are useless because you can get infinite poison potions from a single Ooze Barrel?

Or am I missing something?

No ooze barrels aren't infinite anymore

Zaikks Talon will change healing potions to poison potions. Same with food/drink.
Fly Agaric mushrooms are just the ingredient for poison potions.
Barrels are already poison so put an empty flask to it and good to go.

Basically useless because of ooze barrels. But, still has a use.
For me, Fane is a weak int user. can't carry much, and its all various potions/scrolls keys... etc etc.. Gets annoying being at 80/100 carry weight after selling all the junk. So I keep my barrels in town. Zaikks Talon is handy when you cbf using a barrel, or there aren't many empty bottles around and vendors only have health potions.

Also, when vendors sell the bigger health potions, zaikks talon becomes handy again as you don't have to craft 16 poison potions to make 1 potion that actually does something. Just turn that fat health potion into poison and done.

Well, why would carry a barrel that's like 60 pounts compared to Zaikks Talon which is 0.3 or something?

Zaikk's Talon is good if you don't want to waste empty potion bottles making the high end poison potions by simply converting your existing healing potions. And after my first encounter with the 'hardest boss' in the game, i'm definitely saving up on guepinia mushrooms and potion bottles for next time.

And it isn't even hard to find the talon. I've already found 2 just by following the main plot.

out side of act 1, there is notbmuch opportunity to use health/poison potions anyway...

Barrels can also add poison to weapons, plus you don't need to carry it, just stash it somewhere for easy access. :)
