Anti-poison totem

The Anti-poison totem is an item bought from the rewards trader in Daemonheim for 44,000 Dungeoneering tokens To equip it, a player must have 60 Defence, 60 Dungeoneering and 70 Herblore. It is worn in the shield slot.

It doesn't work like antipoison, as it will not cure poison. However, a player wearing this will be immune against poison, according to the Knowledge Base. The totem's defensive bonuses are similar to that of a Rune kiteshield, but the melee defence bonuses are a bit lower and it provides no damage absorption. It has no negative bonuses, a +5 magic defence, and more Summoning defence.

The immunity to poison can come in handy against poisonous Slayer creatures (such as Cave crawlers and Kalphites), as it allows more room for food and drops. It also comes in handy when doing a level 3 Clue scroll, to ward off the poison of Saradomin wizards. The totem can be used during Barbarian Assault for immunity against Penance Healers, and during Pyramid Plunder for immunity to snakes and scarab swarms. It may also be used to avoid being poisoned while training on monkey guards on Ape Atoll. It also comes in handy while fighting the Dagannoth kings to provide protection from the spinolyp. One of the most useful features of the totem is providing immunity against K'ril Tsutsaroth's poison (starting at 160), as it reduces the need for antipoison potions and thus allowing space for food (among other things) in your inventory.

This item WILL appear at your gravestone if you die, so do not be afraid of losing it in the event of death.

Trivia

 * Previously, there was a major glitch where even if an unpoisoned player equipped the totem, they could still be poisoned by certain poisonous monsters, as well as the poison traps in Tirannwn, the Ape Atoll Dungeon, and the dungeon north of Ullek. The monsters that could cause poison through the totem's immunity included Spinolyps, K'ril Tsutsaroth, Saradomin wizards, cave slimes, and Jungle strykewyrms. This glitch was fixed on 15 June 2010.

Anti-poison totem
 * The Totem glitches with the Dragon plateskirt while running around or in combat. This has not been fixed yet.
 * Although this item has significant bonuses for defence, you are allowed to take it to Entrana, even though there is nothing there that can poison you. This is most likely an oversight by Jagex.


 * The Totem is usefull while doing the Barbarian Assault minigame, because Penance Healers can't poison you.
