If you're asking how best to level up on your first character, some of us do the easy quests first, then start hunting the lesser critters (like Mantis, rats of all types, dogs, geckos, cows etc) when your gun skill is over 100. If you hunt with gun skill too low, you'll suffer more misfires. Low Luck also does this.
Some guys shovel poo at level 1 because you can actually get to level 2 that way and get some caps. Move boxes too. At Hub get the Wasteland Band quest and find Joseph for the Sad Wife. At Vault City do the Medical Investigation for the doctor to uncover the train station locations. At Shady Sands guard the cows for Mr Westin, return Mira's Debt, and run smokes to Buster.
At level 2, start watching the map for a new spot to get the tent quest. Kill rats and get free tent. Consider getting Outdoorsman skill up to 100 so when you build a tent, it's a Safe House instead complete with its own workbench.
This is the map.
For cows, hunt 2-5 zones SE of Vault City, or anywhere under Hub.
For geckos, hunt all around Klamath, or 2-5 zones west of Hub.
For tons of xp from rats, large area NE of NCR, or NW of Vault 13.
Run around and get as many support perks as you can.
Stay away from zones with city ruins if you can, especially near SF, and avoid Necropolis and Gecko.
Also you have to understand that any unguarded town is a player-kill zone where other players kill you on sight no questions asked.
