Taste Identification

“Does this milk taste bad to you?”

There are few more perilous jobs in the world than that of “official taster.” But in Britannia, with a bit of skill in Taste ID, you can both protect yourself from “accidental” poisoning and keep track of your potions and potion kegs.

Taste Identification allows players to detect the contents of an unknown potion keg or if food has had poison applied to it. It is considered a Useless Skill and the few players that undertake it do so for mainly roleplaying reasons.

Using

To use Taste ID to determine the contents of a Potion or Potion Keg, or to test your food for inadvertent poisoning:

• Click the blue gem next to the Taste Identification skill on your skill list.
• Target the potion or food you wish to taste.

If successful, you are told what type of potion you tasted, or, if you tasted food, whether it is poisoned.

Training

• 0 - 30: Train at NPC Baker or Cook
• 30 - 100: Taste different foods (more details needed on this)
