Forum:6K caps at lvl 1 w/o gambling question

This is an inquiry into a recent method I would like to use at the start of my next play through. I plan on waking up, getting the snow globe from the Goodsprings Cemetery, running to the strip, entering the Lucky 38, initiate dialogue with Mr. House, get the globe from the cocktail lounge, go to vault 21, get the globe from there, then sell all 3 while still at level 1. I haven't really decided my position on the implants. I'm thinking stick my intelligence at 9, add the remaining point to luck, then buy the implants later to increase each. From there, go break the bank on the strip and go from there.

I haven't tried this method before, so I'm concerned as to what effect this will have on the quest line. Will it render any quest incompleteable or make it to where a quest can't be started? Any info would be greatly appreciated. --the last thing you never see-- Dopesmylez 20:36, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to get the 2000 caps to enter the strip all while staying lvl 1?The Montreal Screwjob 04:27, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

I was planning on an extreme five finger discount. Pretty sure I can get enough from Goodsprings and Freeside. I don't really use energy weapons that much so most likely I'll just clean out the Silver Rush. The only place I really need to discover is Gun Runners so I have a place to sell everything. Let's just leave it at the credit check is no problem. Dopesmylez 13:54, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

I liked starting a new game with a run to the Atomic Wrangler and hitting the big jackpot on slots for $32k but I see the new patch cut the max bet from 200 to 25. Even though the Mojave is a open sandbox, Obsidian wants us to go to Primm, Mojave outpost, Nipton, Novac and Boulder city in that order. If you get the 2K caps to enter the strip (maybe from selling the combat armor from Durable Dunns) I think you will fail the quest "they went that'a way" and lose all dialog options pertaining to it.

 * A barter of 50 or higher will be plenty to net 2k in caps at level 1 from Goodsprings. Mictlantecuhtli 18:39, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
