Surprisingly beautiful weapon despite passively causing the most dangerous status in the game.
Does anyone happen to know if there are any Ashes of War associated with Scarlet Rot?

I ran through areas to get this at level 18. Invasions in the starting zone are, interesting... poke,poison, run. Host dead.

This is my boss weapon now. Added ASH OF WAR: POISON MOTH FLIGHT to it. I am a shielder now, spending most of the time behind a Visage Shield, and I can poke with this beauty without lowering my shield, because this is Rapier! Also Scarlet Rot affects skeletons that are immune to poison. Rot + poison deals around 27 damage per second to a giant near beach in start area.

I found that Rapiers, when given Blood infusion, have pretty decent blood loss effect (71) despite their fast attack speed, making it easy to proc.
And when both using Blood infusion this and normal Rapier seem to have the same stats except this one causes Scarlet Rot as well making it a better choice.

It's not amazing OP tier but giving it Blood infusion works quite well, especially when you don't have high DEX to benefit from scaling.

Very good for PVP. Phantom hits can buildup rot.

Any other weapons that inflict Scarlet Rot?

This weapon is quite insane. I did some testing with a poison and bleed infused version of this rapier on a fresh Lvl. 8 warrior character. I used Radagon's Soreseel to be able to use the weapon.

I was easily able to defeat Margit and Godrick 1st without leveling up my character or the weapons. I will do some more testing on other bosses.

It's pretty easy to rush this at the beginning of the game once you get Torrent. If you ride Torrent into the poison swamp around the castle, she will not follow you and will just walk side to side without dodging, so you can just cheese her with any ranged attack.
