So you dont get exp from barter runs?,

so back to my original question, how long does it take to get to level 20 grinding?
since it still seems that is really the only thing to do for exp,
sure quests good, but how much do you get from quests tops if you do all of them, seriously
theres maybe two good 1000- 2000 xp quests and they have charisma requirements, the rest of the quests average 200 - 450 xp, thats like 3 mole rats worth of xp. so after you do all the quests you still need about 240000 xp or something.
And crafting, for exp? Giftless that was a joke right?  surely its much faster exp to just kill stuff.

im not trying to start an argument here, i just.... want.. xp

and lets say you didnt just grind, and did all kinds of other stuff, im still interested to know how many hours it took you.

After playing for a couple of months now, I have my own secret and preferred methods for gaining exp. and vital war materials at the same time. 8)

If you're just starting out though with your small guns, I'd concentrate on geckos, mantis, and even radscorpions at the lower levels. Some players like molerats but you can get pk'ed searching for them near the amusement park, plus they chew through armor at a fair clip if you're fighting in real time.

The best thing about the enemies I suggest is that they can be quickly dispatched...while on the way to accumulate caps which you can use to buy crafting professions, bases, vehicles, etc...things that will allow you to move up in the game and take on more difficult enemies. Crafting becomes exp as well, the surplus becomes caps...the idea is to have an integrated approach that accomplishes more than one goal at a time.

Molerats die in 1 burst...

Brujah is wrong on a few points, easiest way to lvl throwing is make a few stacks of molotovs and find molerats vs mantis encounters. Use weak healing powders to lower your pe to 1 and they spawn in a pile. No point in lvling with bb gun when grease gun is just as easy to get ammo for. Leveling ew can be expensive but you can get sec from homesteaders around redding and just craft laser pistols. Also throwing isn't for pussies, sneak throwing knife builds work quite well and are fun to play. 27:26 is a great place to lvl on molerats.

TrashCan:
I have a question regarding repairing items. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems to me that I can only repair my armors (and other items in general) by wasting another armor of the same kind. I have tried using tool, but it only seems to improve my repair skill. Now I may be wrong about this (disregard this part if I am), but this system seems ridiculous. In real life you don't buy new car when you want to repair old one, you just get parts that need to be replaced. I don't have enough firepower to farm metal armors, so I make one for myslef. Now as it deteriorate I want to repair it, but to do this I need to make another metal armor, but again why then bother repairing old one? It appears logically to me that if I want to repair item I should use just the replacement parts, same as I was using for crafting.

Hmm... I never tried homesteaders nor throwing nubs, I just skipped to gatlings and plasmas.
