Poisoned : FFXI Submissions

Last night I was trying to level a sub just outside of windy, took on an EM crawler and ended up coming out of the battle poisoned with no MP and little HP. So I thought what the hell, I'll try to run to town since I wasn't far and maybe someone will be nice and give me a cure before I die. I was able to get into town, but no one was around and my HP was at 2 so I got desperate. I talked to one of the NPC's and noticed once I started the conversation, my HP stopped dropping. So I made sure I didn't hit enter and advanced the conversation any further and I was able to stay frozen at 2 HP as long as I was still in conversation with the NPC. Fortunately I was able to send a /shout Please help, poisoned at <pos> need a cure or poisona, will pay 200 gil. After about 20 seconds I had 4 or five people come help me out, give me a cure and got rid of the poison. I offered to pay but no one accepted. I figured it was worth 200 gil since some WHM charge 500-1000 for a raise and this was just as good.

I didn't know if this was common knowledge or not since I've never seen anything about it, but thought it was great expolit. So If you're on the brink of death while your poisoned/dia, go talk to an NPC. Your HP won't drop while your talking to them.

wow, i didn't know that, that's actually pretty good if your low level. espically in the windust region. crawler poison can be a big pain, i've died many times to it.
