The art of creating poisons and offensive weapon coatings falls into the catch-all category of poisons. Whether it is lightning oil or affliction poison, the crafting product is handled in a similar manner with similar techniques. The different materials, components, and recipes result in distinct and unique effects.
For most poisons, a single dose of poison lasts 1 minute of combat when coated on a melee weapon or on three ranged weapons, unless otherwise noted.
When you make a Crafting skill check for poison, you must subtract gold from your inventory representing the components necessary for crafting. A single skill check yields a single dose of poison.

When you first learn to use the poisoner's kit, choose three of the five starting poisons, representing the crafting recipes you learned to develop as you practiced your skills to novice level. You will learn additional poisons as you develop your techniques and hone your recipes. For a complete list of Poisons Descriptions.
To move to the next skill level, a character must at least create 1 item at their current level before they can be considered for advancement to the next level. Example a Novice Poison Maker who is a level 12 Ranger can't start casting Master level poison until they have made one poison from each Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced level poison table. They also need to have learned the poison recipe, found out in the world or from another a lethal-solution maker .

Refining Poison
Mastering poison is a process of technique and refinement. Unlike spells, you cannot make a level 1 poison with a higher level slot. Instead, you must learn how to refine and hone a poison at a higher level. You may attempt to learn a refined version of the poison by spending the necessary component cost and making a crafting check against and the Experiment Difficulty Class for the crafting level of the recipe. Through this you can learn to advance your craft, but the experimentation does not yield usable results from this process.
