ixfd64 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have a few questions about poison ivy berries. I know that players need to wear gloves in order to pick them. If the player doesn't how much poison damage do they get hit for? Also, do any type of gloves (e.g., Karamja gloves) work, or is it limited to leather gloves?

Dark_Demesne Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You only need gloves to pick nightshade/belladonna. For that, any gloves work, but gauntlets/bracelets do not. I believe the poison damage is 2, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Ivy berries do not poison but the nightshade does (patch in Draynor Manor). The RFD gloves work as do the Penance gloves, only ones I've tested. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat666 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 yup. poison berries dont get diseased too. :) you also need gloves if you wanna pick nettles... They do get diseased, they just don't poison you when picked. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 erm.. the tip.it farming guide says "*Poison ivy bushes cannot become diseased as they are already poisonous to begin with!" i dunno.i only planted one for the varrock diaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm. Poison ivy bushes will NEVER get diseased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I am sure one of mine died. The one I did for the Varrock diary, cos I remember being annoyed I had to wait again... Unless I'm really getting confused. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Robot Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well they USED to be able to get diseased, but they were updated semi-recently (2 or 3 months ago) so that they will no longer get diseased. To be honest I don't understand the logic. Poison Ivy bushes would of course be immune to the effects of poison.... but what has that got to do with disease? :?

cat666 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I didn't know that. My farming doesn't really take in bushes. May do if they won't ever get diseased though. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Poison Ivy bushes have been "undiseasable" for longer than 2 or 3 months, but you don't need to wear gloves to pick them. Only nightshade posions when picking and Klank's gauntlet's do work (someone said gauntlets don't). If you need proof that they don't need to be paid for, click on the entry under bushes in your skills page or try to "pay" the farmer next to the patch.

I meant "vambraces," not "gauntlets." Gauntlets do indeed work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have a too narrowed view on poisoning. Anything that's bad for you when you take too much of it, can be considered poisonous. Allthough, it'd be strange that those berries produce them same poison as the one that other plants get diseased by. A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h!

Its almost as if Jagex is saying that all plants get diseased by poison ivy bushes... Maybe some random guy is running around stabbing all our plants with a DDS! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
