Drugs for all

In the current post nuclear wasteland chems are seen as a necessity. From enhancing the mind to increase mental processing and speech, to "buffing out" the body so pounding the ever living fuck hell out of raiders, or even deathclaws, becomes an available option. There are a lot of chems out there in the wasteland and they all do a variety of things, all of which can be found in detail here in Caterpillar's post. Unfortunately, not many people are dedicated to the manufacturing of chems and therefore leaving it all to us to not only get the job done, but to also rake in the many delicious caps that come with it. In this post I will detail the resources needed for drug crafting, and how to obtain them. 


 CHEMICAL COMPONENTS - These are a primary requirement in most of the popular chems available in the wasteland; the only chem that does not need this resource is your basic Stimpak. However, Stimpaks are not at all popular due to the increasing rise of Super Stimpak usage, which is, in essence, Stimpaks with added chemical components and bio med gel. Chemical components can be found in two locations in the wasteland: The Toxic Caves and in The Waterworks. The former is not really a great choice due to the high chance of death by poisonous gasses. The latter, however, is the most effective way of collecting this resource. They are found in the barrels scattered around there, and typically give 12 chemicals a barrel: 2 for every click.

 BIO MEDICAL GEL - This is used in the particular branch of chems that provide aid to the user. This includes Stimpaks, Super Stimpaks, Radaway, Rad-X and the popular combat drug, Psycho. This resource can be found in footlockers, but easily collected when bought from either Dr. Fung in San Fran or Dr Troy in VC for 25 caps a piece.

 BROC FLOWER & XANDER ROOT - Both of these resources are vital in the creation of Stimpaks, Rad-X and Radaway. It is extremely important that these two basic ingredients are collected due to the fact that Stimpaks are one of the primary requirements needed in the creation of Super Stimpaks, which can then be turned into Psycho. Broc and xander can be found in abundance throughout the wasteland in most encounters besides city ones. 

 FRUIT - Fruit is needed in the crafting of Mentats and Nuka Cola. Mentats are not popular in the wasteland whereas Nuka Cola is for it's ability to increase agility. Brewing Nuka Cola requires a water to fruit ratio of 1:2, so more fruit means more Nuka Cola. They can be collected from fruit trees that have a chance to be found in some encounters and give 20 fruit each - basically 10 Nuka Cola a tree!

 BRAHMIN SHIT DUNG - This is likely to be the most disgusting resource available that is required in the crafting of the AP increasing chem, Jet. It can be found in brahmin pens in most cities and in abundance every day or two. Just hold your nose and give yourself a nice wash after collecting this, its for your own good. 

Happy resource collecting peacekeepers!
