Emperor Cobra to Milk for Poison: Would it be possible?

[Skarm]

Hi all,
I was wondering:

If a character was of level 6 or more, in theory, would be possible to buy an Emperor Cobra and milked poison last for the duration of the adventure.

So...would be possible to keep the cobra at one's base and use it just to get its 4 daily doses of poison for a single adventure (assuming that this animal stays within the active pet + mount + passive pet limit)?

Thanks,
Skarm

No. Poison is an alchemical item with a cost, you can't just collect it wild and slap it on a weapon and go to town. You have to thicken it, add preservatives, etc.

The long fairwell a guide to poisons might be able to help you. I don't do poisons myself so I'm not sure if its good or brings it up to viable.

Well...in theory the additional resources state that the poison harvesting rules for Ultimate Wilderness are valid:

"The harvesting poison subsystem is legal for play, but a PC cannot use this subsystem to preserve poisons or create antivenom; all harvested poisons lose their potency by the end of the adventure."

...which is why I was asking...

Wasn't aware of those. Looking them over...

They last 24 hours. Given that a lot of missions are get mission briefing in X city and then head out you may need to bring the snake with you. I think a basket might work...

You are DEFINITELY going to want to train that thing to be milked.
