Guide 101: Crawling Out of the Sandstorm

You start this adventure having ducked a sandstorm from inside a cellar hole under some tent.

Exit the Tent

• Use the ladder to climb out, and run south to talk to J.D.
• Ask him if you can travel with them and get the quest to deliver a message. Your first quest!
• Also talk with Kris, the guy at the watering hole.
• Get Kris talking about how to obtain water, and get your first 50 xp.
• Grab the water bag from the ground near the water's edge, and exit this Starting Location.

Start Getting XP

• Head to Hub but do not enter yet. Use the Town/World button to enter via Old Town.
• Run south and talk with the sad wife about finding Joseph.
• Run north and talk with Jacob about a deal with Gunrunners.
• Enter the building at the east end of the street and note the workbench in there.
• Exit Old Town and run west through the Market area into the Maltese Falcon.
• You might have 200 xp now, 150 from entering Hub and 50 from Kris at the starting location.
• Talk with Mick in the Maltese Falcon and get the Wasteland Band quest. Mick gives you some caps - don't spend them yet - you need them to do his quest.)

Open Pip-Boy (press P twice) and check which quests you now have. It should show four: Far Go Scout, Find Joseph, Gun Runner Delivery, and Wasteland Band. Now let's make some easy xp.

A Humble Beginning

• Run up the street and find the brahmin pens on the left. Get a shovel from Cleve and agree to shovel poo.
• Arm your shovel in slot 1 and now you can shovel poo in any cow pen by simply mousing over poo.
• Check the brahmin pens at Hub's main gate area.
• At 24 xp per poo, you can get to level 2 pretty fast. Other players know this so poo might be scarce at Hub.
• Move boxes too. Get this job from the box man near the caravan trailer.
