I've been playing playing these games for a good long time, but I can't seem to find any jars Sad

I remember in one thread, some dude said that he took 52 jars down to the bug queen's lair XD I don't remember how true that is, but it does sound intresting.


Intrestingly enough, Mickey will pay $2,500 per lump of royal jelly, up to a total of $10,000 and renews his cash supply at 9:00 AM.


So yes, basically collecting royal jelly and human blood is all that jars are good for in this game? (Glass jars have also been known throughout history to contain highly explosive liquids and or alcohol)

Thank you very much, good sir!

Its always nice to thank people who help you out.

(for some reason, none of the strategy guides spoke much about jars, and the people who did use them didn't describe their sources).

***

Normally, I'm content with using mines as my only source of income, and buying up everything at Bobby Rays until my money runs almost empty (compulsive shopper).

But lately, I've had a keen intrest in the merchants and traders, they're a lot more helpful than I gave them credit for.

The best source of jars is the hardware store in Balime. I start stockpiling them there before taking on the Crepitus. After the queen is killed, I send 3 mercs there in the helicopter to load up with all the jars they can carry, and they head back into the mine to "milk" the queen. I've never bothered to sell the jelly; I use it for armor upgrades.

I might be wrong but I think Gabby is the best source for Jars. Look here to learn where to find Gabby.

Hey, that's a nice map that I hadn't seen before. Thanks for the link.

I suppose "best" is subjective, but I like Balime because you can leave a merc stationed there (with militia protection) to check the seller's inventory each day. Balime also has two other stores to check (Balime's stores sell some of the most useful items in the game), so it's a great place to station a shopper. There are plenty of jars available in Balime - sometimes a dozen or more at a time and all in 100% condition. If I left a merc out in the wilderness with Gabby, I would be concerned about patrols entering the sector.

^I tried doing that, with Dynamo and Shank. It didn't end so well.

I like waiting in areas that provide some cover through milita, because getting jumped sucks.

Any of you guys actually did something with the jars?(besides taking jelly from the dead queen and sadic collections:Mike's blood,crepitus blood,etc?)
I remember Gabby saying "crepitus blood is good too",but he didn't ever buy that...

You can use the Jar on the Crepitus Queen's dead body. There might be other uses, but I don't know about them.

Man, I didn't know you could take blood!

I think I'll give Razor a chance to add some blood to his head collection...

The game should allow drenching blood onto armors too! When worn, it attracts Bloodcats. ie,
when you enter maps with known bloodcats, it will guarantee 100% bloodcat attacks.

Hmmm... In some mods (I can't remember which ones) you can make Molotov Cocktail merging glass jar + alchool + gas + T-shirt (?)...
