Bad Habit Quest Dialogue

Hello, come here a minute. I need to lay the wiring today, and plan for high power capacity, especially considering the continuous load on the grid. But that’s not the issue now, bring me some cigarettes. I want to work it hard until it’s done, and don’t want to get distracted with searching. I know, smoking’s going to kill me. But, is it really important though? Well, anyway, I need around 20 packs, preferably different ones. Oh, and make sure you get the new sealed ones, so look for them yourself. Was good seeing you.

Guide

There’s not much to tell you but to remind you that you need to be on this quest since the start of a wipe. The only thing you need to know is that the Wilston cigarettes are definitely the rarest ones, but worry not, you can find craft them in your hideout. Considering you need to find 5 of each, you should focus mostly on getting Malboro and Lucky Strike.

The 5 Wilston Cigarette Packs can be crafted in Nutrition Unit Level 2 by using 1 Apollo Soyuz cigaretttes, and a 42nd Signature Blend English Tea (Sacriel’s Streamer Item). That’s all, good luck on your getting the cigarettes in great pace and time.
