Vantrith

Ahh, that definitely answers some of the confusion then. Is it different for p+ and p++, or do they have that same low application chance?

Just nabbed a poison weapon for the first time. I've been looking at the old school wiki and using my previous limited knowledge to try and understand, but I can't figure out why I'm not getting any poison damage on anything. As far as I understand it, you simply need to do damage, whether it's 1, 9, or whatever and then it will have poison applied 100% every time, refreshing duration with additional hits. Yet I've tried it on four different enemies already thus far, and no matter what I do I'm not getting any green splats. On Outlaws, Guards, Spiders all clustered around the GE, as well as other Goblins. For the Guards and Outlaws I kept stabbing them until they were at 2-5 health left, waited 45 seconds, and they still were not taking any additional damage. Testing on spiders and goblins, whether I hit 1, 2, 3, or 4 - never got an additional tick of damage. I even waited so long that a spider regenerated 2 health just while I was waiting. I'm using an 'Adamant dagger(p)', what am I doing wrong here?
