Fallout 3 Hints
How can I get him to agree to the supply trade?
1 of 5: You'll have to either have the Child at Heart perk or a Barter skill of 50 or higher. If you do, you'll have a tagged dialogue option you can use.
2 of 5: After that, you can trade buffout items to Lucy for cave fungus, and you can trade strange meat items to Eclair for cave fungus.
3 of 5: Buffouts are very useful for combat and loot-carrying situations, so you'll probably want to only trade strange meat for your cave fungus.
4 of 5: Note that how many buffouts or strange meat items you have to trade in to get one cave fungus item varies, depending on how you got MacCready to agree to the trade.
5 of 5: If you used the Child at Heart perk, you only have to trade in one item. If you used your Barter skill, you'll have to trade in three items (if your Barter is less than 70) or two items (if your Barter is 70 or higher).
