T-1337 and how it works.

Taken from my blog here: http://retalion.wordpress.com/2008/08/15.../#more-301

So long story short, I was doing the hyper glyphs quest so I can do the Finding Jack quest and found an Adapter. As I continued looking for Hyper Glyphs, I found Sparkplugs as well and after a while, a Difurium (sp?) cell. So I went to talk to the NPC and came up with this (for whatever reason, for those who want the text).

 Spoiler

Basically, he requires you to give him a Diferium Cell, a T-1 Socket Adapter, a Spark Plug, a Jumper Cable and 150 boomer cores and he'll give you some potions.

 Spoiler

I personally got Megajuice, which adds 200 mag atk for 30 seconds.



And after the quest, as he took the Diferium Cell, I cant talk to him anymore.



Extra notes: I did not get to choose the potion I wanted. It seems to be completely random.

-As you can see by the text, a triferium cell produces 50% more product. Perhaps that means I'd have gotten 4 pots if I used it? I dont know. I'd have to find one to try xP

-When you do the quest, he takes one of each item from you so if you want to mass get them, you better stock up.

-The quest gives 2500 exp.

-Im not sure which item makes him talk though Im assuming its the Diferium/Triferium Cell. Jiraimeeps tried talking to him with just the Adapter and he wouldnt talk to him. I tried with the Adapter, Sparkplug and Cell and he spoke, meaning its either the Sparkplug or Cell that makes him speak. Then agian, perhaps you need an x number of items before he'll talk to you. I should've transfered off spare parts to find out but forgot so someone else can test this.

A cell of some form is needed for the NPC to talk (~takebacker)

-The Adapter is from both IAM Robots and Electrophants: Jiraimeeps says he found it at Robots and I found it at electrophants. Perhaps because the map has both he got it from an electrophant without knowing. I really dont know. I got the cell, adapter and sparkplug at electrophants but didnt get a jump cable till I went to Robots for the quest.

Both IAM Robots and Electrophants drop Adapters, Electrophants drop cells, and sparkplugs, IAM Robots drop jumper cables. Wolf Spiders drop cables and adapters (~Isaac and Chameleonic on Wolf spider info)

-The 3 parts seem to have a decent drop rate. I found 13 adapters and 9sparkplugs in 50 hyper glyphs but only 1 Diferium Cell. I got the Jump Cable after 2 Maps from robots so go figure.

That's all. Any discussion/questions? feel free to post here. If you have additional information, post it/PM it and I'll add it.

A friend did it too and also got mega juice.

Additional note: Triferium cells give 2x pots (giving 4 instead of 2)-confirmed by anyoneisgod
