Venom (Skill)

The Venom skill is possessed by members of the Serpent class and gives them the ability to secrete various poisons that can be introduced into their enemies' bodies through biting. Once a Serpent has bitten his or her foe, the venom begins to elicit a particular, often detrimental, effect upon that person.

Many of the commonly known afflictions can result from being bitten by a Serpent in this manner. However, the effect of the bite depends on the victim's skill rank in the miniskill Antidotes. The sileris berry will also help prevent venomous bites.

Serpents with access to a milking room may choose to transfer their venoms into vials. These may be sold for sale either in shops or via the market channel.

When filled with venom, the ouroborean vial, which was sold at auction in 486 AF, will never run dry.
