Poisoner

Poisoner (also fan-translated as Poison User) is one of the role-playing subclasses in the MMORPG Elder Tale.

Overview
A advanced subclass derived from the Herbalist, a Poisoner is an expert in poisons who knows and can handle them. They can be used in many ways (to strengthen attack power or reinforce a build focused on inflicting status effects) since they have a means of attack not available in the main classes (except some skills for Assassins).

Most of the time the poison is directly applied on their weapons. For example, one can coat their kunai so that if they are able to cut the target, it will instantly inject the toxic substance. Poisons come with a variety of effects, ranging from body weakness, paralysis or death.

The nature of this subclass, a minor one among People of the Land, does not make its people work in the open. They mainly work in the underground society, belonging to guilds of Herbalists or Apothecaries and having formed a faction called the “Silver Cup School '' in order to warn and discourage misuses of poison and to exchange information about materials and clients. Those who have been banished from the organization or those who didn’t join it from the start do not hesitate to abuse their knowledge and are feared as dangerous.

To get this subclass, a player must be an Herbalist and attain a certain level. Then they must find the boss of the Silver Cup School and take the entrance exam.

A detailed article was written about it in “Log Horizon Wednesday Vol 21”.
