[Mini Guide] How to go from newbie to richer newbie in under 1-2 hours.

<< < (2/2)

Chrupek:
Make any char with tagged outdoorsman and 3 CHA and high AG, and tagged SG, and at least 4 ST (or 5 better).

Collect 1 junk, and 1 wood >> make knife.

Go to random loaction without critters. Look for plants. If you find, collect 96 fibers (cooldown).

Go to any guarded town with workbench.

Start making ropes. If your overweighted, go to traders, and sell it.

After spending all fibers into ropes u have: 960exp and 4800caps. It takes around 15 minutes for whole operation.

Now u can buy 10brahmin hides in Modoc, and make first tent. And some smg, and ammo. U have now 2 lvl, spend all SP to SG skill.
You can now look for encounters like: VC Patrol vs strong slavers/ghouls/scavengers/raiders/Highwaymen.
Keep distance, and try to kill knocked outs guys.
It usually takes around 20 mins to get another level. Again spend all SP to SG skill. Now you can try not only finish knocked outs slavers/ghouls etc, but kill them too (still only in VC patrol vs.... encounters).

That can work as well, but BB's are easier just because you don't have to use the drop down menu on the knife after you clicked on the plant, also you can use them to trade for caps at places that don't buy them for more then 1 cap per BB because you make so many that 200 BB's turning in to 200 caps still isn't a bad deal.

Chrupek:
Youre definately right. but theres one big advantage of leveling up on ropes. You need only one random encounter with fibers. Rest of work, you can manage in safety place, and dont risk meeting other wastelanders.
Collecting junk is kinda risky, because there is always few players waiting in city tiles.
But you know, both ways have advantages.

HertogJan:
Keep in mind that the gathering cooldowns temporarily have been lowered.
After the wipe they'll probably be back at their old values which means you won't be able to collect that much junk.
