I have a question regarding having 12 experimentation points. I have really good resources and advanced components. I tried my hand at doing some mind areas last night. The only thing was I noticed that effectiveness, potency, and duration didn't even go up with the additional two points into effectiveness. Has anyone been able to push the limits on these with the extra two points? The only extra bonus I got was range when I did this. I have a little bit better stuff to put into the advanced components. So, I can try again. I will post the results a little bit later of what I got last night.
PS I was doing this in an Artisan city as well.

That is correct. In general, the limiting factor of any single stat is the resources you use, not your experimentation points at master. The biggest advantage of getting 12 experimentation points is to sneak a little more potency or range in, or if you are making 75 med use area poisons you can get 2 more points for effectiveness. Nice, but not the end all and be all.

I just made my Master CM aswell and wanted to craft my Poisen myself. Now I´m wondering if the "famous" 12 Points CM is really doing the better Poinsons than the "normal" 10 Poitns CM. If it´s really only a matter of the Ressources I´m wondering why there are 2 additonal Exp. Points at all.

Youonly need 12 exp points if your competing against other high end crafters, otherwise the extra 2 points is a waste.
12 point cm with medium quality resources < 10 point cm with high quality resources

Well. there's plenty of places to spend experimentation points on the final poison craft. You could make a lot of money on 75 skill poisons...

Actually, something I forgot to mention, the extra two points should help you considerably with area stims. At least the way I craft them I don't cap any of the lines, and two extra points should prove to be very useful.
And if I ever run out of the crate of 50 I made months ago, I can say that for certain instead of guessing.

Since I've gotten +12 exp. points, I have been able to craft Poison C's that only require CM Use 35. I don't recall being able to do this with only +10 exp. points.

What is the effectiveness of your poison C's at 35 med use? I would guess not much better than an appropriately crafted poison A or B... So is that really useful?

I thinkthe eff is about170. I haven't tried crafting a Poison B, so I don't have a comparison.

Takes me about 6 points to drive CMU from 92 to 75 and rest end up in Effectiveness at 198. Unless you are using GODLY ARCs with 115+ potency to drive down the base CMU I'd say you got to be hitting about 110 eff at most. You sure these aren't AE Bs you are talking 'bout?

Hehe...yeah, the duration sucks, but for the grinding novice that is just spamming poisons on a durni, who cares? And really, how long do you need the poison to tick? Most fights that I'm involved in don't last more than 3 minutes anyway.
I don't recall the stats on the ARC's. I'll have to check next time I login and visit my shop.

You know what? I just now noticed those are single Cs and I was thinking they were AE Cs 
That's why I mentioned driving down CMU from 90+ to 75. Still if this is aimed more towards a CM who is grinding, I would have used rancor bile and made it AE. Grinding medical XP is easy to blast through if you can just spam AE poisons on multiple mobs.
