Didn't know rad-x supresses, I need another Marsupial!

[Aracuan]

I took Rad-X without knowing it supresses and I got the Intelligence penalty back.
I could pay a high price for anyone who gives me the Marsupial serum!

[Eriskumma]

You can just wait until rad-x stops affecting. And it doesn't work like that, it suppresses mutations and mutation penalties, if you suddenly got marsupial's intelligence penalty back check that your Class Freak perk is equipped. In any case use Radshields if you have mutations, they don't suppress anything.

[Percello]

Rad-X = Temporarily disables the mutation + penalties
Rad Away = Chance to remove Mutations completely

[Aracuan]

When I drank the serum, it erased the intelligence penalty(positive effects remain). Then I equipped starched genes rank 2 perk, so I wont get any more mutations from rads and radaway never cures the mutation.

Rad-x first suppressed the mutation and when rad-x wore off, I still have the mutation and intelligence penalty back.

Yes, using serums removes penalties temporarily for an hour. It's just silly expensive to keep using them just to suppress penalties.

Ah okay, I thought permanently. So now I have starched genes perk, I just get class freak perk.

Yup, Class Freak doesn't remove the penalties completely but decreases them a lot, 75% with maxed perk. Also if you run low health build with unyielding armor you don't really need Class Freak, unyielding set gives massive buff to all specials except Endurance and something like marsupial's intelligence penalty doesn't really matter anymore.

Just take a diluted radx. That does not suppress the mutation, and replaces the the effects on you of the regular radx.

[Bored Peon]

You can also use Radshield you learned in the quest as that does not affect mutations, even though the description says it does.

OK I'll stick with Radx diluted for now atleast. Haven't done that quest.

Yeah the plants needed for the Radshield are finicky with their spawning and you can only pick them once per twelve hours or so. However if you use Green Thumb, Chemist, and Super Duper you can make about 25-30 per batch of plants. You can sell excess at about 50 caps each and people will buy your entire inventory.

Yup, blooms have something like 20% chance to spawn every night and can be a bit annoying to find, luckily the days are short so if you go check them every night you'll find them eventually. 5 of them spawns every time (can spawn more but that's probably a glitch and is super rare) and with Green Thumb you get 10 blooms, with chemist you get 2 radshields per bloom and Duper Duper pretty much always triggers giving few extra. If you find the blooms when there's a verdant season in Mire you can get even more.
Fun fact, wiki's entry is still wrong after all these years, it claims they only spawn during Organic Solution but it just forces them to spawn any time of day, they do spawn without the quest.

Yep, and that is what makes them profitable to craft because people aint willing to do that work to make them. I used to run down and check after every Heart of the Swamp that occurs nearby (which was another rumored trigger for spawning,)

Yeah, I've heard that rumor but nah, HotS doesn't trigger them. They naturally can spawn by random chance during the event if it's night time and that's probably what started the rumor. Project Paradise can give them as reward but just few.
I rarely sell radshields but use them regularly in Scorched Earth, SBQ emits a bit too much radiation for my low health toons without them.
