If someone wants to collect spears to sell to get EXP, as oppose to bashing molerat head to get EXP, let them.
Than have every trader give xp for selling items.The reward you get for selling to her is caps.
Well you do get xp for using every other skill, why not for barter?
I didn't really notice it sooner, but selling spears to Sally Givens in Junktown gives you xp???What the hell is that all about?Please get rid of it, it makes absolutely no sense.
...what is the problem? You don't like extra exp, even if it's small? Treat it like quest then. "Collect some spears for me I take them all".
Than it should be made a quest, repeatable and with a cooldown.I haven't done any repeatable quest, but the cooldown should be the same.Either that or increase the amount of (sharpened) spears or change the items needed every time you do to quest.Change of items could involve junk and things that are made mostly out of junk: BBs, radios, brass knuckles, spiked knuckles, shovel, old shovel, extended magazine, speed loader.That would make the quests similar to the 'Bring items to Monte Carlo' quest in the Boneyard.Reward could than be changed to an amount based upon the amount and item you need to bring.It should stay less than than when selling it to a trader as you also get xp as a reward.
I don't see a single problem with this, to be honest.I have +5xp for single lines too in my dialogues, should I scrap these now because "they are no quests"?
