Blowguns

Only useable by Dryads, blowpipes are quite difficult to find. Enemies will only rarely drop them and the only occasionally show up in a merchant's inventory. Additionally there are no rare or legendary blowpipes, limiting the user to those that can be bought or dropped. All blowpipes share the same Ranged Weapon Lore unlockable modifiers, providing additonal chances of triggering a secondary damage effect or slowing the opponent.

Ranged Weapon Lore Modifications

At Level 1 25 75
Modifier Chance of Secondary Effect Chance to slow opponent 25% Chance of Secondary Effect

Note: The Mastery Unlock (Level 75) provides a lesser bonus than the level 1 bonus. However Energy Staves do obtain the same bonus at Mastery and thus it may have the lesser values for this reason.

It currently displays the increase to all status effects however it only seems to trigger for damage types you are dealing unless you have other equipment with "Chance to {burn|freeze|poison|weaken} +xx.x%" equipped. This modifier is typically found on rings.
