L13 Specs

Image The purpose of this page is to show the results of using this site's Walkthrough. We are at level 13. 
We got to Novac and did Boone's mission, so we are now travelling with Boone and ED-E.  
From Novac, we walked up to Crimson Caravan for Cass' mission and to get the mission at McCarran.  
Next we went to McCarran to do the CC mission and the McCarran missions. 
The Fiends mission and Vault 3 mission got us tons of XP and loot which we upgraded and sold.

Image Considering that we aren't halfway through our limited walkthrough, which only goes through the New Vegas missions, our skill levels are pretty high already.

Image We are pretty close to having all the weapons we are ever going to get. We will be upgrading the 10mm SMG for the 12.7mm SMG, and we will add the Anti-Material rifle.

We also have a lot of ammo for each of the weapons. The 564 rounds for the 10mm SMG is on the low side, but that is because we will be replacing it before too long with the 12.7mm SMG.

Image This is our apparel at level 13. The Beret was a gift from Boone and adds +1 Per and +5 Crit.

The Businesswear adds +5 to Speech

The Riot Gear, which came from Lonesome Road has Damage Resistance of 15 and +5 Guns.

The Roving Trader gear came from Malcom Holmes and adds +10 to barter.

Image I picked up old books and got ED-E to carry them and eventally stored them. Got about 50 of them and hope to have 100 by the time I get Voracious Reader on level 22 where you can copy a Skill magazine using 2 old books and 1 Wonderglue

Image I used to get supplies for making Weapon Repair Kits, but don't make WRKs any more because ED-E will repair weapons for free and I need the Wonderglue to copy Skill magazines.

Image I once thought that Voracious Reader was a waste since by L22, my Skill levels were high already enough.

As the picture on the left shows, at L24 my Barter is 100 (which I think includes Malcoms Roving Trader gear). Explosives is 85, but I have 3 levels of the Explosion Skill, Guns is 95 but the Riot Gear adds 5.

This leaves Lockpick, Science, Speech, True Police (crits) and La Fantoma (sneak) which can benefit from the Skill magazines). I don't think that I need Medicine or Repair above 60. I don't use Energy Weapons or Melee.

See Voracious Reader for more info.
