question about the merchants

(1/7) > >>

Visari:
Ok. I am still rather new here so if this is in the wrong place, or has been asked before and I missed it, I'm sorry.
But, what I wanted to ask is this:
When I go to any merchant to sell my bundles of junk and other crap I've picked up wandering around the wasteland, there's no monetary value for things like noodles, beer etc.
Now that I understand. But I am not even getting a barter value for things like scavenged armour.
Do the traders only deal in caps? the NPC traders, anyway. Say, if I have a leather jacket, and I want to sell it for caps, does that have to be done via player trading?

again, sorry if there's a section with these questions already answered. I've been looking for a while, and I can't ask in game because I always get shot in the balls.

DocAN.:
Barter system is fucked up, better shovel shit if You want to earn caps. But be carefull, coz thx to JB the cows goes crazy when You clean their pen.

You can always sell Geckos skins in Klamath or Spears in Junk Town.


And remember that this game is not friendly for newcomers, thats why it has so low number of players.

Visari:
Does gecko skinning require a perk or special item? I ran into a vault city patrol killing geckos and looted the corpses. No skins at all.

LostSoul:
I'll give you a more clear answer... It's hard to get shit answered around here...

First off, welcome to FOnline, may your travels be as harsh as they are adventurous.

Secondly, while the "BARTER" skill and system is a bit wonky at the moment, the key to making caps through merchants is to find out what that special item is that they will pay dearly for. 

After you find out what merchants take what, then it's just a matter of a waiting game... waiting for that merchant to have caps to give you in exchange.


For example:

The merchant in the GUNS shop in the Market section of the Hub pays a pretty penny for broc flower, xander root, and fruits. Collect a few of these, and you will be able to make a nice amount of money just by wandering around and picking up the resources on the ground.

Another good source of income is selling scavenged FN FALs.. They go for 500-2000 caps to the right merchant.

I hope this helps, and if you ever need any assistance in anything, be it levelling, escorts, advice, or anything else, feel free to PM.

You need to get the Gecko Skinning perk from the trappers in the Trapper Camp in Klamath.

DO NOT DO THIS...

Boon Lived:
Traders only take certain things. The two bars in NCR for example accept Melee/Throwing weapons, Some guns and misc junk.
Such traders like balls of steel (BBs). You just go around and see what works, as LostSoul has said.
