Poison's not too bad once you start making the more potent antidotes, they get applied quicker and restore health along with the status being cured so no reason not to swap out all the base antidotes.
Spent most of yesterday evening farming parts from Anjanath with a few random groups, got lots of pelts and scales but still need a few more fangs.
Most of the groups were pretty good, though one player did start to annoy me a bit with his horrible timing for causing explosions when we were all close to the monster... it's good that doesn't cause damage.
I've switched from the Charge Blade to the Longsword for my main weapon for a bit, there's just something pleasing about running up the side of a monster and then slamming down a powerful slice on everything in your path.
