Sounds nice, but I don't have mountains of chemical component

Then go to toxic caves or waterworks, you can loot chemical components from there

what are npc merchants

they sell max 30, and i'm not just doing this just because i need super stimpaks, but also grinding experience that i gain from crafting them.

how can i enter the Central Council in Vault City?

And 1 more question: if skill books always give you 6 skill points, then it is better to read them after you get your skills on a high lvl, like 130+ when a single skill point is much more expensive?

[Leoho]

Can F6 and F7 be on by default?

idk :/

No. Books give You 6 skill points not 6% of skill.

so it does not matter what level you are or how high your skill is.

If I reroll will all the tents I made with that char be deleted? never rerolled a char before.

[Seki]

no, they wont
just make sure that you see those tents with other character or that you have maps to them

[Leoho]

lets see if i understand how the economy of this game works

only relevant way caps get into in the game is via vendors periodically
player can buy private mine to get a shit ton of resources and craft what he needs and level up
best way to make caps is selling encounter loot/dungeon loot/crafts to the vendors around wasteland having a network of tents? or there is something i am missing
caps are most useful for trading between players and installing augments and buying vehicles since using them on vendors is a waste
combat armor mk2 is farmable via ncr army encounter (?) (is possible to solo?)

or am i missing something?

thanks a lot

[Seki]

only relevant way caps get into in the game is via vendors periodically

not only, vendors-bartering and town control footlockers too are 2 main ways of income in this game
only faction members of faction which controls town can open them
they spawn.. modoc and klamath 4k every 30min, den and gecko 6k every 30min, redding and brokenhills 8k every 30min
in total TC lockers spawn 1,728,000 caps per day into game

best way to make caps is selling encounter loot/dungeon loot/crafts to the vendors around wasteland having a network of tents? or there is something i am missing

yes, you dont miss anything, you are right

player can buy private mine to get a shit ton of resources and craft what he needs and level up
caps are most useful for trading between players and installing augments and buying vehicles since using them on vendors is a waste

caps are used for much more things :
- rerolls (10k each)
- buying detonators for c4s (2500 each)
- buying special implants (250k each)
- installing implants (100k each)
- vehicles
- bases
- professions
- blueprints
etc.. etc..

but all that are only one-time pays, once you get bases, vehicles, prof, bp etc.. which you need, you will never buy them again, only real caps sink which players use all the time are private mines
yes, its not worth to barter with caps since you can sell all kind of crafted or looted stuff, they are used mostly for trading between players

combat armor mk2 is farmable via ncr army encounter (?) (is possible to solo?)

yes, camk2 can be farmed from ncr army and ofc, every encounter is soloable
i personally prefer to buy them from npc through barter rather then farm NCR army

[Leoho]

Thanks for answering!

Some other questions

Did the devs ever explained what is the reason behind crafting giving so much xp?

It's worth getting the combat armor blueprint? Is a bonus craft mods CB better than non mods CBmk2?

How exactly do you power level a alt character? I've heard you can get a lot of levels only by crafting, but how exactly?

[kitka]

does the LUCK have effect on disambling, repairing or crafting? finding stuff in cars, computers and lockers?  does this SPECIAL have any use for crafter?

[Seki]

It's worth getting the combat armor blueprint? Is a bonus craft mods CB better than non mods CBmk2?

no its not worth,
you would need to farm alot of fire gecko pelts to get decent amount of CAmk1 which are better then CAmk2

there was also one suggestion regarding camk1 crafting vs camk2 farming/buying, you can see people's opinions
sadly suggestion was closed without any words from devs

How exactly do you power level a alt character? I've heard you can get a lot of levels only by crafting, but how exactly?

you gather resources on your other character, make a level 1 character and you craft things on him
alternatively you can use sandboxie to play on 2 characters at once, tag other character to share experience with him and farm some centaurs/floaters or do caravans

does the LUCK have effect on disambling, repairing or crafting? finding stuff in cars, computers and lockers?  does this SPECIAL have any use for crafter?

no, it does not affect any of those things
