Forum:Uncle Roe and investing in trade caravans

So, when traveling to Cantebury Commons to start the quest for "the superhuman gambit" after going through all that dialogue, i managed to ask uncle roe about trading and trade caravans... Passing a barter challenge you then can talk him into managing the trade caravans (Since he has known them all since childhood or something) Through Uncle Roe, you then can choose to invest caps into each of the 4 trade caravans, weapons, armor, meds, and odds and ends... 200 caps for first investment for them to expand their inventory, 500 for second level of investing, there's a third too I believe.

I just stumbled across this last night and was just wondering if anyone else has found out if its worth it to invest in the trade caravans inventory expansion.

Very much worth it. The presents they give you are decent, but it really pays off in higher repair skill for them, more inventory, better prices, and they'll spend a lot more caps buying your stuff. They get so much stuff you can easily find what you need to make your own repairs, but if you can't they'll get 65-75% repair skill. My barter is only in the low 40's, but they'll have around 1600 caps.--97.81.77.13 10:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
