If you can.  Make some Hylailian Fire.  It's a useful in combat to get some
extra damage in on an enemy.  Just hold it as an item and use it when you're
next to an enemy.  You'll poor it over the enemy and it'll do some damage and
reduce the enemy's attack/defense capability.  It's nice to use when you're
surrounded.

: Using the Vomicum on the Kukris dagger resulted in a huge increase in damage
: done to a monster while in combat.  The effect of the poison doesn't last 
: very long though.

Are you sure it's the Vomicum that's causing the damage?  Kurkis itself 
increases the damage done by the strike to anywhere in the 40 point range.  
I've killed war ogres with two hits from a kurkis dagger.  I think the poison
lasts for two hits then it's used up.  What I've been doing lately is poisoning
arrows/bolts.  Each "use" can poision 10 arrows/bolts.  Hopefully, it'll have
the same effect as poisoning a dagger.  That'd be nice, 5x the effect.
