hi, whats the difference between those 2 bow upgrades? thx

The difference is that one of these is a real bow upgrade, and one of them is from the magical land of make believe. Other than that they are exactly the same.

Green and Collector/Quest Reward bows with a Poisoners string are now called Poisonous.

The name was changed in the Factions preview update. Personally, I think "Venomous" would have sounded better...

I noticed this on a cleaver I got dropped the other day... Poisonous Cleaver, didn't even strike me as that odd, although I thought I remembered it saying Poisoners before.
Or maybe that is all still in my magical land of make believe?

It doesn't make sense to me, the change. I mean, before, when it was "Poisoners", we had tons of newbs assuming it would poison the enemy. Now that it's called "Poisonous" I imagine we will see even more of that, and now I can't really blame them.
