Healing

The Healing skill allows players to use bandages to heal, cure poison, and resurrect others. It interacts with Anatomy and requires certain skill levels to unlock specific abilities.

Mechanics

A minimum of 60 Anatomy skill is required for a chance at successful bandage cure attempts.
A minimum of 80 Anatomy skill is required for a chance at successful bandage resurrection attempts.
Players with 100 Healing and at least 80 Anatomy will always have a 100% chance to resurrect their target with bandages.
Players with 80 Healing and 80 Anatomy can use the Healers Codex.
Bandage healing amounts are calculated as:

 ((Healing Skill / 100) * ((Random Value of 40 to 60) * (1 + (.2 * Anatomy Skill / 100))))

Bandage healing amounts are reduced by 2% for each bandage slip during combat.
Bandaging self takes 10-15 seconds, scaled based on Dexterity (capped at 100 Dexterity). This can be further reduced with the Healers Codex.
Bandaging another target takes 5-7.5 seconds, scaled based on Dexterity (capped at 100 Dexterity).
Bandaging time is calculated as:

 15 - (5 * (dex - 25) / 75) seconds.

Stationary Bandaging

Players who remain stationary for 5 seconds can bandage targets up to 2 tiles away.
If the player moves within 5 seconds of finishing the bandage, the range reverts to 1 tile.

Resurrection

Players require 80 Healing and 80 Anatomy to have a chance at successfully resurrecting a target with bandages.
Players with 100 Healing and 80 Anatomy will always have a 100% chance to resurrect.
Chance to resurrect with less than 100 Healing skill scales from 24% at 80 Healing to 62% at 99 Healing (assuming the minimum requirement of 80 Anatomy is met).

Curing Poison

Progressive Curing

Each consecutive failed attempt at curing poison now increases the next attempt's success chance by 100% (previously 50%) of the base cure chance.

Example of curing Deadly Poison created by a player with GM Poisoning Skill and GM Taste ID:

Base cure chance via Greater Cure Potion or GM Magery is 50%.
If the first cure attempt fails, the next attempt gets a 50% bonus.
Poisons created with GM Poisoning and GM Taste ID have a 50% cure chance reduction (e.g., 50% → 25%).

Cure Attempts for Deadly Poison:

1st Attempt: 25% Cure Chance
2nd Attempt: 75% Cure Chance
3rd Attempt: 125% Cure Chance

---

Example of curing Lethal Poison created by a player with 120 Poisoning and 120 Taste ID:

Base cure chance via Greater Cure Potion or GM Magery is 25%.
If the first cure attempt fails, the next attempt gets a 25% bonus.
Poisons created with 120 Poisoning and 120 Taste ID have a 60% cure chance reduction (e.g., 25% → 10%).

Cure Attempts for Lethal Poison:

1st Attempt: 10% Cure Chance
2nd Attempt: 35% Cure Chance
3rd Attempt: 60% Cure Chance
4th Attempt: 85% Cure Chance
5th Attempt: 110% Cure Chance

---

Player-applied poisons (weapons and spells) have a cure chance penalty of:

 (25% * (Poisoning Skill / 100))

Player-applied poisons (weapons and spells) have a cure chance penalty of:

 (25% * (Taste ID Skill / 100))

For example, a player who normally has a 50% chance to cure a poison would instead have only a 25% chance if the poison was inflicted by a player with 100 Poisoning and 100 Taste ID.

Bandaging Cure Chances

Chance to Cure Player:

 ((125% - (Poison Level * 25%)) * (Healing Skill / 100)) - (Slips * 2%)

Chance to Cure Creature:

 ((125% - (Poison Level * 25%)) * (Veterinary Skill / 100)) - (Slips * 2%)

PvM

Bandaging a poisoned target still heals them, even if the cure attempt fails. Healing amounts while poisoned are as follows:

Poison Type	Healing Effectiveness
Lesser Poison	100% of normal healing
Regular Poison	100% of normal healing
Greater Poison	75% of normal healing
Deadly Poison	50% of normal healing
Lethal Poison	25% of normal healing

Bandaging Skills Crossover

Players can use Veterinary + Animal Lore to bandage players, or Healing + Anatomy to bandage creatures.
Crossover Healing has severe penalties:

 * Healing amounts are reduced to 33% of normal.  
 * Cure and Resurrection chances are reduced to 33% of normal.

To cure or resurrect with crossover skills, both crossover skills must meet the base requirements (i.e., 60+ for curing, 80+ for resurrection).
If the player has both the normal and crossover skills available, the bandaging attempt will use the skill set that results in higher healing amounts and higher cure/resurrection success chances.
Skill gain always follows normal bandaging rules:

 * Bandaging players increases Healing + Anatomy.  
 * Bandaging creatures increases Veterinary + Animal Lore.

Healer's Codex

The Healers Codex requires 80 Healing and 80 Anatomy to use.
Bonuses from the Healer's Codex only apply when bandaging players or Ship Crewmembers.
Any bonus effects provided by the Healer's Codex (such as increased melee damage, damage resistance, or poison debuffs) only apply against creatures.
