The Royal Jelly is an item from Jagged Alliance 2. It is used to improve protection on suits of armor.
The item description in JA2.
"This is a blob of royal jelly from the queen Crepitus."
Locations[]
Mines with Crepitus infestation, the lowest level. The Crepitus Queen will drop some of upon her death, depending on difficulty level:
- six portions on Novice level
- five portions of Experienced level.
Additional amounts of the substance can be collected by using Glass Jars on the queen's corpse. To do so, select the jar on the main screen and move the curson on the Queen's corpse. If the cursor changes shape into red jar, click it and the merc shall pick the jelly to the jar. Make sure that the jar is at least in 30% condition and the merc has Dexterity and Agility at least 60, otherwise the attempt will fail.
Notes[]
- The jelly can be applied to your body armor to increase its protection value in similar way like the Compound 18. Note that it improves the armor better than the Compound 18, and does decrease the armor's weight. Since you only get a limited number of these, you should only apply them to your best armor (ie Spectra Vest, Spectra Helmet). Also, bring a lot of glass jars before going into the mines with Crepitus infestation, for there is a chance a jar might be in a too poor condition to store the jelly (see above).
- WARNING: Applying the jelly to an armor already treated with Compound 18 will destroy the armor, and vice versa. However, this trick can also be used to remove Edgar "Nails" Smorth's jacket to get him to wear a better armor.
