**Game mode:** Single-player  
**Type of issue:** Bug | Misc

* * *

Was there a nerf to the venom-infused weapons in the near past?  
They only stack poison to 5. I did not see the changes in changelogs. Or maybe it is a bug?  
I crafted, I admin spawned a couple of them, and all did the same.

* * *

Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

1. Craft or spawn a venom-infused weapon
2. Equip it or give it to a thra
3. Watch the poison stack stop at 5
4. Cry because you have one less FoP.

You know, if it’s a change, _it should probably go in the Changelog._

We don’t need to know every “fixed this floating tree at (x,y,z)”, but “reduced max poison stacks for weapon Z from 20 to 5” is one of those things _players kinda wanna know about_.

Well if its a nerf to a weapon it is never ever put in the change notes and its always something we enjoy for a weapon and it will never hardly be taked about as well its nerf or nothing in this game every single time hidden in the patch.

You should report this as a bug btw. As it is not in the patch notes it might be a bug , not likely but with a bug report at least you will get an answer from someone maybe,

Interesting then.  
It is a ~month old problem to me, because the daggers I spoke about are my thrall’s weapons, and I thought the poison maybe just wore out since NPCs with daggers LOVE doing backflips. But attacks with daggers apply 2 poison at the time so it can’t be 5.  
I’m gonna re-test it and capture screenshots (if I don’t forget it again…)

Daggers worked with my thralls, too, dancers to be specific.

There sometimes are display errors. For example, sometimes two separate icons of poison show up. I assume that it because an icon wasn’t properly removed once the DoT ran out. But that’s just a visual bug, I assume.

Maybe you got something similar with the stacks? Does the poison deal damage as if stacked to 10, but only shows as 5 stacks?

Glad you mentioned!  
I use Hosav’s custom UI mod but I turned off the damage numbers.

2 full heavy combos with Venom-infused 2 handed sword:

“Maxed” out DoT with the daggers:

Reaper poison + bleed:

Only bleed (wiki says it should deal 1.65 damage/s/stack, so a total of 33, but instead of that I only get 27…
