DetoxingEdit

There are three options for helping Jacob get clean during the quest High Times, once Dixon is no longer selling him drugs:

• 10 Fixer
• Science 50, 1 Fixer, 1 Buffout, and 1 Psycho
• Speech 50 and some encouraging words

InventoryEdit

NotesEdit

• If Jacob dies during the quest High Times the quest can still be completed for partial XP, but Julie Farkas will not start giving free medical supplies to the Courier afterwards. If both Jacob and Bill Ronte die during the quest, the Courier will gain infamy with the Followers upon turning it in. This can sometimes happen accidentally if caught in the crossfire with Freeside thugs.
• You may run into him drunk at the Atomic Wrangler.
• If the Courier both helps Jacob detox as part of the quest High Times, and also sets up a supply deal between the Followers of the Apocalypse and James Garret through an unmarked quest from Julie Farkas, Jacob will begin supplying purchasable Rum & Nuka to the Atomic Wrangler.
