Throw at enemies to cause buildup of poison.

Crafting after obtaining Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [14]

Caelid

Starting Site of Grace: Smoldering Church

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [14]
• Empty Cracked Pot
• Ingredients for one pot: 1 Toxic Mushroom and 1 Poisonbloom

1. Follow the northeastern Limgrave road across the border into Caelid.
2. Enter Smoldering Church beside the road.
3. Search the corpses inside for the cookbook. Another cookbook is also here, so check both pickups.
4. Watch for Anastasia's invasion when approaching the church.
5. If needed, buy the Crafting Kit from Kale at Church of Elleh for 300 runes. Owning a cookbook alone does not open Item Crafting.
6. Collect the listed ingredients and keep an empty Cracked Pot. Open Item Crafting outside combat and make Poison Pot, then assign it to a quick-item slot or pouch.

Notes

• Applies ordinary Poison buildup, with a base value of 200 before its Arcane scaling. Higher Arcane improves the buildup rather than increasing the eventual poison damage per second.
• Once Poison triggers, this version normally deals 0.07% of the target's maximum HP plus 7 HP per second for 90 seconds. It is different from the shorter Deadly Poison of Fetid Pots.
• The target must be susceptible and its buildup threshold must be reached. More throws do not stack several copies of ordinary Poison on an already poisoned enemy.
• Costs no FP. Its main value is applying the status, rather than a large direct-damage explosion.
• Damage bonuses from pot equipment do not increase Poison buildup or multiply the separate fixed poison drain. Arcane and damage boosts serve different purposes.
• A nearby Poison activation can trigger effects such as Kindred of Rot's Exultation or Mushroom Crown. Each damage tick is not a fresh status activation.
• Each craft uses 1 Toxic Mushroom and 1 Poisonbloom and occupies one empty Cracked Pot. The ingredients are spent, while throwing the pot returns its container for another mixture.
• Other recipes using the same container type share that supply. The recipe remains unlocked after use, but an empty pot does not refill itself without another craft.
