Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. If I can't make at least a little bit of money to support my family via this site, I'll have to stop working on it.

One alternative is to become a RuneScoop member. It's cheap, you get access to all of the site with no ads, and you help keep the lights on around here.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add RuneScoop to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on Runescoop.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@http://*runescoop.com/*". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely... Qeltar, aka Charles, your hard-working host and RuneScape guide-writer extraordinaire. :)

Analysis, Discussion and Tips for Success

General Discussion

Extra-strength weapon poison is an enhanced version of regular weapon poison. Its poison starts 58 points on melee weapons like daggers, or 38 points on ranged ammo such as darts, arrows or bolts. It is a useful potion, but not nearly as popular as super weapon poison.

Like other high-level poison and weapon poison potions, these pots use coconut milk as a base instead of water, to which are added cactus spines and red spiders' eggs. Coconut-base potions take a little longer to make than regular potions.

As with all poisons, this potion is not consumable, and has only one dose.

Location and Access

You can make potions at any bank, but a one-click bank like Castle Wars is preferred.

Required and Recommended Equipment

No equipment is needed.

Required and Recommended Supplies

No supplies are required, aside from coconut milk, cactus spines and red spiders' eggs.

Familiar Suggestions

Summon a foraging familiar to earn extra money for you while you work -- I prefer the magpie, given the high value of rings and gems today.

Technique and Tips

Take out 14 vials of coconut milk and 14 cactus spines. Click one vial and then one spine (or vice-versa) and when prompted, right-click the main message area and choose "Make All". Wait for the herbs to be added to the water. Next, open the bank, take out 14 red spiders' eggs, click one and then click one of your unfinished potions. Again choose "Make All" and wait. Bank the finished potions and repeat.
