"Only characters INSIDE the Secret Cow Level at the very instant when the Cow King is slain can potentially complete the quest."
So can I get some hefty poison equip, slay the ck down to 10%, apply deadly poison, leave and come back later for repeated cow king farming on ladder?

Seems like a good question and not sure why no one ever mentioned this before.

The poison doesn't wear off when u zone out?

I recall testing this long, long ago and I couldn’t make cows anymore.

just tested it with poison javelin

the poison affect is removed when you leave the cow level. tried it with red portal and town portal.

might work with other posions though, or possibly open wounds

you might be able to manage this with a projectile from a minion even (revived vipers)?

no
you will still get experience for the kill.

/e
actually this wont work at all.. because of antitppk measures they added to the game
