that would be kinda cool and challenging like only a select few creatures like arachne's on endor you can "harvest" their poison sac or something or fangs this could also make us more usefull to other profs. like an arachne fang would work like a rancor fang but give the weap poison or the poison sac could be a good thing for enhanced poisoin pacs for cm .....
You sort of get this already with the loot system. Things like Janta Blood, Kliknik Glands, Rancor Teeth, Rancor Bile, all the armor components, Krayt loot, etc. If this is going to work, Rangers need it to be something a bit different. I like the idea of putting it in as a powerup, though. Maybe you need to collect a few poison glands off of a spider to craft a poison powerup (almost like a loot poison mod but not as long lasting). Or disease samples off all those disease mobs around. And make sure that only one sample drops at a time so you can't get factory runs. We just need to make sure the effects are not too strong and they are hard to put together (as they should be a bonus effect and not something like weaponsmith powerups).

Agreed. This is a good idea and something I have thought about myself. I'm sure as a community we can help flesh this idea out. I am just too tired to really add more ideas to the pot right now.
Later though, I will.
putting this in might end up making ranger the 'assassin' type class.
if you can loot poisons, and you can lace your weapons with poison, and you can /camoflauge...
Good Ideas all around. But how about instead of having to craft it, you can just drop it on your weapon. That would give you X amount of charges depending on how much you harvested.
/shrug keep it going I know we can work something out here.
