I just have one issue, it is not such a good idea to make a trader first imo, because you need things to sell to make it useful, the explorer, sg character that Etern made is still probably the best character I have seen to get a good feel for the game and start getting some stuff to make your fortune, and even then traders aren't a great way to make money here, slaving beats it by leaps and bounds.

Edit: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,28493.0.html This can be your crafter and give you some kills under your belt.

Ok i've made a note about it next to my recomondation for a trader build about this explorer build. Thanks for the input appreciated! :D

Raven Crow:
Well done Mrtrader.

I would like to add fews more suggestion if you don't mind.

First I wanted to talk about theses very usefull support perk you can get and that are worth the travel to get them such as :

Ranger : Talk to the lady named Tamira just in front of the building in Gordon's Gaz station near New reno to be able to build a safe house ( containing a workbench ) when you create a tent.

Requirement  : Outdoorsman : 100

While you are in NCR, absolutly not to forget to go to 'Dusty's cantina and get the  support perk 'awareness' from the man dressed as a trapper. (definetly a MUST HAVE !!!)

the only requirements are : 6 perception or 100% unarmed Or 100% MELEE WEAPON.

I also wanted to say about two quests very easy that you can make at the begininng of your adventure.

A band  in the wasteland : going in falcon maltese entering by south exit 'market' to the hub. Talk to the gyu in leather armor and regardless of your charisma; he will ask you to reunit few friends to make a band. he will then give you some money and ask you to convince them to come.he will then give you 200 caps. first guy is just outside of the snake pit in junktown and you will have to give him 100 caps for him to accept. (note : with 10 charisma, 10 int and more than 100 % speech he wont ask any money and you will keep everything for you.)
second one is in san francisco, quite a long way but the guy from falcon maltese will give you another 200 caps to convince the guy. you can save that money straight away as whatever the skill you have , the guy will just accept without taking a coin at all. (note : the man is in the tanker, the bar in the boat at san francisco)
for the third one; the falcon mastese guy will give 400 caps, but :

if you have 10 in strengh, he wont give you anything as he will notice you are very strong and will be able to convince the goul by kicking his ass without giving any money.
second possibility : you have one more time 10 charisma and int and maybe a bit of speech. I did it with 70 speech as well. In that case, you will convince him without money and will get another 400 caps for you. ah yeah, this guy is in gecko in the bar "harp"
Conslusion : when you are back you get at least 100 caps + 200 caps + 500 caps reward and 2000 xp

Or if you have 10 charisma and int, you will get 200 caps + 350 (by convincing him you did a great job) + 400 + 750 as reward, 2000 xp 3 stimpacks.

Another very important quest.
Go to boneyard library and talk to hammilton which is just on the left room when you enter the building. tell him that you see something is bothering him and he will ask you to kill one man.
take this quest just to unlock the location fo boneyard train station.
make sure you bought one dean's electronic book in the library of the hub (which cost 300 caps) and go to the boneyard train station. make sure you have 4 in charisma and talk to the man with the grey dress. ask him what he can do for you and accept the quest. then go to the door just behind him, talk to the man behind the desk with purple dress and give him the book.
He will reward you 800 caps and 250 xp.
very nice and easy quest to start.

That's it !

Mike Crosser:

thanks :D

Raven Crow:
You were right for the awarness perk MrTrader.
I tried with a cigarette but didn't work.
So no cheat for support perk.
But what is interesting to say is that you don't necessary need 6 PE to get it.
Because 100 % in melee weapon or in unarmed will do as well

Advice to get a lot of money :

When you feel ready, try to fight against gang and yakuza around new reno's town. You could get wakisashi blade which with a 150 barter can be sold 1500 each to the lady in GUNS of the Hub.
If she doesnt have any money available; you can still trade for laser rifle that is worth 3000 caps to sell or trade in san francisco for example.
Also, gang will provide combat shotgun, grease gun and tons of ammo while mobster will refill your stock of tommy gun, hunting rifles and ammos.
Each yakuzas killed is 260 xp so quite interesting.

Of course this has to be done in turn based.
