Contact: Contact poison can easily be applied to an object. It remains potent until it’s removed or touched. Contact poison can cause severe skin reactions in animals that touch it.

Ingested: To be considered Ingested, a creature must consume the entire Poison to feel its effects. You can either give the dose in food or liquid. A partial dose may have a lower Effect. For example, it might give you an advantage on saving throws or deal only half the damage if your save fails.

Inhaled: These poisons can be ingested as powders or gases. The Effect can be affected by blowing the powder or releasing it. After the explosion, the cloud will dissipate immediately.

Purple Worm 5e Damage

Basic Poison does 2.5 damage per hour, while purple worm poison does 42 damage per hour, 16.8x as much as basic Poison. Purple worm poison is 20x more expensive than basic Poison. You can probably assume that the other 3.2x price comes from higher DC or because it would be harder to obtain purple worm bait. These factors can easily explain the price difference, rather than more uses for more expensive poisons.

Is it possible to extract Poison from 5e purple worms?

It seems that crafting Poison requires more skill than just applying it to a knife. Poison crafting requires the ability to start with “raw materials.”

If poison crafters can’t start with poison glands to make Poison, I’d imagine that craft(blacksmithing) requires you to start with iron/steel/mithril/adamantine ingots to craft a suit of armor.

Although the magic crafting details for magic items or potions are intentionally vague about the materials required, the idea is that the crafter will know what to get and how to use it.

If a character is proficient with a poisoner’s tool, they can craft and harvest Poison. The character can also craft other types of Poison at your option. Some poison ingredients cannot be purchased, so it is possible to create your own. Instead, the character can extract Poison from poisonous creatures such as snakes, wyverns, or carrion crawlers. The creature must be dead or incapacitated. A DC 20 Intelligence check (Nature), followed by the harvesting, takes 1d6 minutes. If the character isn’t proficient in Nature, proficiency with the poisoner’s kit is required for this check. A successful check will result in the character obtaining enough Poison to make one dose. The character cannot extract Poison if the check fails. The creature will poison the character if the character fails to pass the 5th check.

How much Poison does a Purple Worm have in 5e?

Suppose you roll Medicine or Nature check (about knowledge of creatures and knowing how to remove parts successfully) then set a range like:

• 1-5: 1 dose 
• 6-10: 2 doses 
• 11-15: 3 doses
• 16-20: 4 doses 
• Anything over 20: 5 doses

If they roll a Nat 20, maybe throw in a bonus dose. If they roll a Nat 1, maybe they poison themselves and only manage to get one dose. But again, you have to get back to your DM about the amount of Poison, A purple worm has. So it depends 100% on your DM.
