Potions

[tomoscar]

I understand the use of potions that improves one of the player's attributes for a certain amount of time. I am however not aware of any other use for potions that inflict damage, other than selling it. Is there any other use for such potions? (poison, paralyze, damage to health/mana/stamina, etc.)

Take a close look at the screenshots below. They feature the alchemy station's list of poisons & potions to craft (the column on the left) and all the available ingredients (the column on the right) that are currently in my character's inventory. The reason there are *3* screenshots is because that's how many of them it took to for me to be able show you the full list of potions that can be made with the ingredients available in Enderal (although I may be missing a few). Anyway, the lists themselves are alphabetical, but if you can see the ones (in the lefthand column) with the skull icons next to them, those are the POISONS and (as far as I know), they can only be 'used' by applying them to weapons. I hope that helps. ;) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891178618 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891178675 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891178730

How do you apply a poison to a weapon? Can I do it in the field?

As far as I know, you can apply poisons pretty much anytime.

First, make sure the weapon you want to apply your poison to is the weapon you have equipped. Next, 'use' the poison you want to apply from your potions/poisons inventory: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891212716 Then you should see the (green) 'poison arrow' icon on your equipped weapon: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891212773 That tells you you're good to go. (I don't use poisons, but I think you get one use per bottle, although there's a Vagrant memory perk ['Experimentor'] that supposedly doubles the length of the poison's effect on your weapon.)
