Fallout 3 Message Board  

Ok I am like REALLY early in the game and need a way to make money i already got 500 caps from lucas and stole the 300 in the brass lantern then made another 200 of course i hired Jericho who is about useless according to my friend so now i need more money....Any tips? and dont link me to the scrap metal stuff cus im not that far in the game...P.S. I already am selling purified water from the robot but it isnt fast or profitible enough.

Pick up whatever you find and sell them, such as cups, they add up. There is also a place close to Megaton and the Springdvale school. You can get a few hundred caps from the woman in there if you don't mind killing her.

Thanks that got me some good weapons and armor lolz i just found a minigun on a SM brute

What was with the mini gun bit. Anyway I would just pick up any thing that seems valuable enough stuff like misc. junk, any armour you don't choose to use, stuff like that.

wierd, i couldn't find the woman...did you mean the woman that's hiding out across the street in the abandoned house?

I got by just fine without money at the beginning, just play the game and aquire wealth as you go.

Start the wasteland survival guide quest off Moria and chose the radiation one, get 600rads, go back to Moria, and start the food gathering one[take Jericho with you]. Grab everything, and give it to Jericho to carry, until he becomes full, then sort junk till he can carry more or move. Sell everything you don’t want to Moria and, tada, lots of moolah [well, a fair bit anyway].

Also, if you talk to doc church [save before you do], you can ask him about his patients and if you succeed, he’ll tell you about Leo Sthall’s drug addiction. Save before you talk to Leo Sthall and ask him about his drug problem and he gives you a key to a drug stash in the water purifier [a locked desk] if you succeed. Sell the drugs for money.

I know saving before attempting a speech challenge might sound nooby, but it allows more points to go towards important skills.

i agree with VonFuzz dont worry about money at the begening i didnt and now i got close to 20k in caps ( i would loan you some if the game was MP ) and i am happy




i am borg you will be asimulated
