Skill book recipes are a group of holodisks in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Characteristics
A skill book recipe is a unique crafting ingredient found in the Big MT, and used in the creation of a skill book at a workbench. There are only thirteen such recipes in game, one corresponding to each character skill. The recipes are one-time use items consumed during crafting, preventing the creation of unlimited skill books.
Locations of Recipes
| Skill Book Recipe | Closest Map Marker | Location Description |
|---|---|---|
| Barter | Signal Hills transmitter | On the ground to the right upon entering, underneath the bottom of the shelves, next to a piece of scrap electronics. |
| Energy Weapons | Z-38 lightwave dynamics research | Inside, on the very top catwalk, under the screen of a microfilm reader in the little piece of catwalk that juts out to the left. |
| Explosives | X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch | In the Artillery Command Center, on the lip of the main console. |
| Guns | X-7b "Boom Town" target zone | Inside a footlocker found in one of the small craters. From fast traveling to the location, head forward through fence, third crater on left with the footlocker, after firing the artillery cannon at X-7a "Left Field" Artillery Launch. |
| Lockpick | X-13 research facility | Hidden inside a vent in the Reception Observation Area of the X-13 stealth testing lab. Go across the center bridge (the one with the toolbox and footlocker at the end). When reached, look to the left to see a rectangular vent which can be opened by jumping toward it and activating it in mid-air. The recipe is inside along with some random loot. |
| Medicine | Higgs Village | In House #103, upstairs in a bedroom, on the shelf by the desk. |
| Melee Weapons | Y-0 research center | On the roof. |
| Repair | Higgs Village | Inside House #00. Sandwiched in a rack of old world scientific equipment on the upstairs landing. Look opposite the table with the toolbox, and it is between the lowest two items of equipment. |
| Science | Higgs Village | In House #102 upstairs in the back room, on top of a black box. |
| Sneak | X-13 research facility | In the X-13 stealth testing lab, inside the Testing Area, found on the floor of the kitchen area, between the 2 fridges. |
| Speech | Higgs Village | On top of a radio on the second floor of House #104. |
| Survival | Little Yangtze | In the first tent to the right when entering from the fast travel point, under a bed to the right. |
| Unarmed | Big MT West Tunnel | Inside, behind a locked door (Easy) to the right upon entering. |
