Anyone selling Berry Mentats?

[Hiwex]

Looking to buy some.

Just farm mats and craft em yourself. It's not that hard. It's really easier than you think.

Besides... 5INT for 5 minutes or 10 minutes, if you run Chem Fiend R3... 15% bonus XP for 5/10mins? Eeeeeeh, not worth the effort, honestly. Unless you're like doing some super-mega-uber min-max leveling strategy, then sure. But then just craft it yourself, as I already said - it's easier than you think.

You can make between 1500 and 3500 an hour from crafting

1500 if you are slow and stuff
2000-2500 average
3500 if you land some verdant luck

Brain fungus as plentiful as it is is generally your limiting factor
Mushrooms are the second most limiting factor

how do you farm around 700 starlight creepers (based on your 3500 mentats and calculated with green thump, chemistry and super duper) in one hour that would be interesting to know??

By knowing the farm locations/routes + force-resetting spawns and server-hopping. I wouldn't really be able to support those particular numbers either, but... It's still easy and fast to craft these in massive amounts either way.

yeah it is easy to farm and i would also advice everyone to craft them by yourself but the numbers from this guy just ridiculous ... its more like 200 - 300 mentats and not the 10x amount lol

For sure, for sure... Too bad it's not really all that worth the hassle in the end. Too much grind and micro-management for a measly 5/10min buff of 5INT.

Were it longer? Half an hour buff? Yes, worth it. But 5/10mins? Not really.
Were it greater? 10 or 15 INT? Even if 5/10mins? Sure, absolutely. But 5INT? Not really.

Only useful for "min-maxing". but that's literally it. For average, casual, lazy play - not so much.

yeah it is just like you say for min-maxing. Im doing it at the start of every season to get the 10000xp reward for the scorebord fast. Then im running blodied with lunchboxes, unyielding set, berry mentats, brain bombs, cranberry sauce, live and love 3, some mutations like egghead the 2 charisma perks (the one with +15% xp and the one that makes your mutations stronger). But i must say berry mentats are just a small bonus and get only valuable when you want to do mass farming xp (westek runs) and even then its only 100xp per super mutant so that i get 1800 and not 1700 xp from one

Pretty much this... you keep an approximate mental picture of the number of pickups vs world item reset... I have functionally infinite caps so I just fast travel at my leisure

I also do this with max movement speed and the camera out (which feels faster than with nothing equipped)

Start with firecaps, starlight, firecrackers (resets world), brain fungus (resets world)


firecaps are the most limiting factor so you start them... if you know where they spawn you can get the run down pretty quick while getting a fair bit of starlight on top... they just don't have nearly as many spawn in the world as other things... maybe 30 of these things grow wildly and you can find a few static spawns of groups of them that are 'pre picked'

starlight you get more than you need per cycle... probably 100 of the plants exist in easily accessible areas

brain fungus comes next, you need to have enough for the 2 for mentats and 1 for b.mentats so you need a lot... if you know the locations you can basically force a reset on the firecaps and starlight from these... easily 400 locations of fungus in the world but you can only really get a good 250 or so in very dense areas... plenty for a world pickup reset... unfortunately you often actually run out of brain fungus before firecaps thanks to super duper and chemist results... but not always

hop servers

firecaps again

starlight again

firecrackers you grab at this one (if memory serves a ton by pharma and a tonne (metric long) down south... ideally do these at night as they jump out at you

hop servers

firecaps
starlight
brain fungus

hop servers

firecaps
firecrackers
brainfungus
starlight

hop servers
firecaps
brainfungus
starlight

repeat etc

I have a friends list butting up against whatever cap of friends bugfesta allows so I always have about 40-50 different friends online with almost as many servers I can freely jump to

Farmed so many a couple years back that I haven't bothered to do it again since, and that was with me trading a ton of them for assorted god rolls or rare outfits back in the day... I had the routes down pat



Carrot flowers are plentiful you don't need to sweat them you will never be short of these things they just grow like weeds

That said I would LOVE a camp pill machine that you can set like a collectron that just automatically dispenses whatever pill type you've selected at 1 every 10 minutes

You should be at 2400 ish per one with an exp build

IIRC 60 int is about 2000 exp per kill and ~84 is around the maximum?

100% base exp level

15 +15 base intelligence (specIal)
20 +5 legendary perk card
35 +15 unyielding prefix (1st star) + low health
40 +5 major effect on armour (2nd star)
43 +3 Casual shielded underarmour - https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Shielded_lining
48 +5 berry mentats - you can craft 1000-2500 an hour fairly easily, firecaps and brain fungus are the limiting factor in making them
Add Live and love 3 magazine (increases food effects by 50%) - easiest to buy these in bulk from players willing to obtain them en masse
59.25 +11.25 from brain bombs - irridated sugar bombs are the only hard part to obtain, the Fasnacht collectron gathers them, also whitesprings trainstation often has 2-50
61.25 +2 intelligence bobblehead (alternatively +5% exp leadership bobblehead - tomatoe tomato at this point virtually the same benefit from either)
63.25 +2 from season 9 race machine
66.25 +3 night person perk [at night [strike]or indoors like westtek[/strike]] Season 17 feels like this is patched out and only works at night now
70.25 +4 casual team buff
76.25 +6 Egghead mutation
78.25 +2 Herd mentality mutation
80.25 ~+2 Strange in numbers perk
Use Marsupial Serum (negates loss of a point of intelligence)

343% total exp from intelligence (3.03% exp per point of int from data miners... some argue 2.02% per point... neither is exactly correct so whatever)

5% +5% Season 11 Cranberry Ally buff - Leo - nuka collectron will gather cranberry nukacola, otherwise buy it when you see it, don't need much as its a once a day buff
10% +5% Mothman Tome of wisdom (+15% from the limited time wise mothman during event)
15% +5% The Path to Enlightenment (event, not common and IMO not worth doing... also MAY not stack with mothman above ones... haven't had a chance to get it with the new buffs)
20% +5% rested / lovers embrace / kindred spirit - resting bonus
35% +15% inspirational perk
72.5% +37.5% Cranberry Relish - materials to make are easy to obtain
172.5% +100% well rested - 4x lunchboxes

515% total exp from all sources


1030% x2 during double exp weekends - exp caps at 4000 per kill
1545% x3 during triple exp weekends (been a while) - exp caps at 4000 per kill
