Using Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion, Greater Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion, and Corrupted Radioactive Blue Potion converts either Brie or SUPER|brie+ into Radioactive Blue cheese. Radioactive Blue cheese is virtually a requirement for successful hunting in the Mousoleum and the Catacombs, although Ancient cheese has been discovered to also work well in the Catacombs.

Conversion Chart

The hunter's title, the particular potion, and the type of cheese used in the conversion all determine the amount of Radioactive Blue cheese generated and the gold required (if any) per piece as listed in the table below. Using a Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion for example, a Master will be able to convert 30 SUPER|brie+ into 30 Radioactive Blue cheese at no additional cost. Alternatively, he can convert 10 Brie at 300 gold each into 10 Radioactive Blue cheese for a total cost of 3,000.

Due to the nature of SUPER|brie+ and Radioactive Blue cheese, it is not possible to accurately say which method is the most cost-effective. The opportunity cost of finding far fewer potions makes SUPER|brie+ the better investment for many people despite the relatively high market cost. However, the "best choice" is ultimately determined by each hunter's personal preference and priorities.

Suggested Strategy

For players who choose to convert Brie into Radioactive Blue cheese, a suggested strategy is not converting your potions all at once.

  1. Converting all potions at once requires more gold upfront. Converting just enough for the current hunting period allows a hunter to bring more Brie and thus be able to stay longer in the location without having a large gold reserve.
  2. The mice in the Mousoleum and Catacombs typically have higher gold and points rewards as compared to other mice. Players thus progress to the next rank faster than they would in most other areas. Doing conversions after gaining a rank results in a better conversion rate per potion.

Similarly, players using SUPER|brie+ will also benefit from a better conversion rate by planning ahead and converting only after gaining a rank.
