    \n
  1. Visit a trader<\/strong> and check their stock for Grandpa’s Fergit’n Elixir<\/strong>. Stock changes when the trader restocks, so check several traders if one doesn’t have it.<\/li>\n
  2. Buy it with Dukes<\/strong>. It’s one of the more expensive items in the shop, and the price varies with the trader and your Better Barter perk.<\/li>\n
  3. Drink it. All of your spent skill points go back to unspent.<\/li>\n
  4. Open your skills menu and reassign the points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How much does Grandpa’s Fergit’n Elixir cost?<\/h2>\n

    The exact price depends on the trader, game version and your bartering bonus, and older guides quote very different numbers. Plan for it to be a big purchase: save Dukes from trader quests, and put a point into Better Barter<\/strong> first if you’re buying it anyway.<\/p>\n

    What does the elixir reset, and what does it keep?<\/h2>\n

    It refunds the skill points you spent on attributes and perks<\/strong>. It does not<\/strong> undo crafting progress you’ve unlocked by reading books, magazines and schematics<\/strong>, so you won’t lose recipes. It’s a single-use item, so you’ll need another bottle for a second respec.<\/p>\n
