My First Laboratory

My First Laboratory is a housing improvement.

Location

 * The player can buy this Laboratory for Your House in Megaton from Moira Brown. There's also a Tenpenny Suite Laboratory. It costs from 1615 Caps at Barter skill of 45 to 1320 at Barter 100 (base Value 1199) and 1199 with Master Trader perk. The laboratory is added to your place's desk.

Clear Addictions

 * Clear any addictions, free, and in the privacy of your own home.

Free Chems
Brews one free random drug a day, like:
 * Buffout
 * Dirty Water
 * Jet
 * Med-X
 * Mentats
 * Psycho
 * Rad-X
 * RadAway
 * Stimpak

Comments

 * If the player pays ~1570 for the Laboratory (Barter skill 70), and the average sale price of the items on the list is ~20, the lab will pay for itself after about 80 days of brewing. The player can speed up the process by sleeping in bed, and collecting brews.


 * When running a laboratory out of Megaton, sleeping in your bed for 3 days (when Caravan Merchants restock inventory and caps) produces three free Aids if you're brewing. Since the time line is open-ended the player can wait for Crow to restock and pick through his armor inventory for super cheap Power Armor (really broken stuff; 100 caps or less), then take them to Casdin at Fort Independence and swap them for ammo and Stimpaks. One Power Armor trades for 9 Stimpaks; see The Outcast Collection Agent page for a chart of trade-in values.


 * Also, you can keep on brewing and sleeping until you get a surplus of chems. Then you can sell them to earn some caps.

Appearance

 * The My First Laboratory is found only in Fallout 3.
 * The My First Laboratory looks just like any other laboratory in the game, such as the one inside the Citadel laboratory, the one in Vault 101 before you take the G.O.A.T., or the many found in buildings and tunnels.
