Karambwan paste (poison)

Karambwan paste is made by using poison karambwan with a pestle and mortar. It can be used to coat spears or hastae with Karambwan poison to inflict poison on enemies when fought. (It cannot be used on any other poisonable weapon, such as darts.) Weapons poisoned with Karambwan poison will have a suffix of (kp) and will poison starting at 68 damage, the same as super-strong weapon poison.

There is little advantage to poisoning a spear or hasta with Karambwan poison, as it is effectively the same as super-strong weapon poison. However, it is arguably easier to catch a raw karambwan, which requires 65 Fishing, than it is to make a vial of super-strong weapon poison, which requires 82 Herblore.

Weapons poisoned with Karambwan poison are untradeable. Players who wish to trade Karambwan poisoned weapons must use a cleaning cloth on them to remove the poison.
