A tip to make some quick cash for new commers

<< < (2/2)

Red Bear:
The item price depends only on your trade skill (not on Charisma). Charisma makes higher your barter skill in the beginning of the game. So for example if I will have 4 CHA and barter 200 and you will have 10 CHA and barter 180, I will buy/sell things with better price.

When just starting I found that gathering Flint and making/selling Primitive Tools was a quick way to make some caps when you have nothing at all.

Here are the steps basically to make a bit of money for a new character or to get some ammo to go hunt when you have absolutely nothing:


* Gather Flint
* Use the Flint to make a Primitive Tool
* Use a Primitive Tool on a tree to gather Wood
* Go to some City Ruins and gather Junk
* Use one Wood and one Junk to make a Sledgehammer
* Go to the mine west of NCR and use the Sledgehammer to gather Ore and Mineral
* Use the Ore and Mineral to make 12. ga Shotgun Shells
* Sell the 12. ga Shotgun Shells for caps, trade for equipment or use for ammo
There are a bunch of variations on this pretty much to make money or make some gear. If you know the right steps, the way gathering and crafting works you're able to earn some caps/gear from nothing at all. Hope this helps a bit...  ;)

A fast way to get 1000 caps or the equivalent in items is:
(You need 40 outdoorsman)
Shovel brahmin shit or carry boxes to get caps and buy a knife.
Take that knife and walk around desert near mountains to find plants. (Red/orange coloured thin things looking like corn)
Use knife on plants to get fibre. Repeat until you have reached your gathering timeout.
Go with that fibre and make rope in workbench. Just to make sure carry fibres in one hand and newly made rope in other hand.
Sell your 10 new ropes. They are worth 100 each in general traders.

With this you can buy two shotguns and lots of ammo to level and be able to make gunpowder for yourself.

Hrmm I've been wondering about this for a while, is it a specific plant you need to use a knife on to get fibers or will basically all of the plants you can gather from give you fibers when you use a knife on them?

geraioptuaer:
mutated corn like orange corn stalks you need to hold mouse button till backpack appears then click on a knife thats in your inventory it should then collect the fiber
