Raynor009: /* Pages waiting for content verification */

There are three things that we ask you to do whenever you can: '''improve and update existing pages''', '''help with current projects''' and '''correct language mistakes''' whenever you spot them.

Everyone's help is welcome. If you feel like contributing a lot, it is great but remember: '''quality is much more important than quantity'''; for example, it is much better to write one good article than a hundred bad ones.

For information on how to write new articles or edit existing ones, please follow [[Welcome|this link]].

== What needs to be done ==

* [http://fonline2238.net/forum/index.php/topic,24433.msg204487.html Outdated pages] whose updating has been requested by the [http://fonline2238.net/forum/ forum] users need to be taken care of

* rad toad and centipede critters pages.

== Changelogs ==
The following extracts from some of the latest official changelogs list modifications to the game that are not yet represented in the relevant wiki articles. You can help by updating these articles using the information the extracts contain.

Public Mines

2012-10-28T10:09:39Z

Raynor009: /* Mining */

[[File:Ncrmine.jpg|thumb|The [[NCR]] Mine's location on worldmap. As you can see, it's really public.]]
There are several mines throughout the world near major cities and players can go there to mine the [[resources]] they will need to craft items. There are three types of mines : Guarded, Unguarded, and Private mines. In the '''guarded''' ones, you can find only '''basic''' [[minerals]] and [[iron ore]]. The '''unguarded''' ones contain both '''basic''' ''and'' '''high quality''' materials. Unguarded mines are more dangerous because players can go there to kill [[miner]]s.

== Guarded Mines ==
Are guarded by [[NPC]]s in the similar manner as towns. You can wield [[weapons]] there, but attacking is not allowed and will be punished by force.

[[File:Klamathmine.jpg|thumb|The [[Klamath]] Mine's entrance, guarded by rude trappers!]]
=== Available resources ===
These are the resources you can mine safely, in guarded mines :
* [[Iron Ore]].
* [[Minerals]].

=== Locations ===
The following list includes the location of all the game's guarded mines :
* Southwest of '''[[NCR]]'''.
* Southeast of '''[[San Francisco]]'''.
* West of '''[[Klamath]]'''.
* Southwest of '''[[Junktown]]'''.

== Unguarded Mines ==
Unguarded mines are more dangerous because [[player]]s can go there to kill [[miner]]s. There are no [[NPC]] guards and it's only on the player himself to avoid [[death]]. Carrying a [[weapon]] or having a buddy to protect you is not a bad idea at all.

[[File:Reddingmine.jpg|thumb|The [[Redding]] Mine's entrance, guarded by... hum, nobody.]]
=== Available resources ===
These are the resources you can mine in more dangerous, unguarded mines :
* [[Iron Ore]].
* [[Minerals]].
* [[High Quality Iron Ore]].
* [[High Quality Minerals]].
* [[Uranium Ore]] '''only in [[Broken Hills]]'''

=== Locations ===
The following list includes the location of all the game's unguarded mines :
* East of '''[[Gecko]]'''.
* In '''[[Broken Hills]]'''.
* In '''[[Redding]]'''.

== Private Mines ==
These can be purchased from the resident Mine Overseer, at each of the Guarded mines in the game world. The Overseer will charge you 75,000 caps for directions to the location. He will only make a deal with a character once.
The resources available inside this mine will be depleted after time, but the location will remain visible to owner.
[[File:Privatemine_ext.jpg|thumb|The entrance to your personal mine.]]

=== Available resources ===
These are the resources you can mine in your own mine:
* [[Iron Ore]].
* [[Minerals]].
[[File:Privatemine_int.jpg|thumb|Inside the mine.]]

=== Locations ===
The following list includes the location of all the game's guarded mines. A player can purchase their own, at these locations:
* Southwest of '''[[NCR]]'''.
* Southeast of '''[[San Francisco]]'''.
* West of '''[[Klamath]]'''.
* Southwest of '''[[Junktown]]'''.

== Mining ==
Player can mine by himself by using [[Primitive Tool]] or [[Sledgehammer]] on the rock piles that contain resources.

Alternatively, you can command your [[slaves]] to mine for you, strangely, they don't need any tools for that. This might not work in every mine.

Every mine has an ammount of available resources per pile of rocks. When these resources are depleted, it requires some time for them to respawn(usually a few minutes).

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
! Tactic
|-
|
Bring a [[Brahmin]] with you when mining. This will save you from going to your tent/base to unload the materials you just mined. Give everything you mined to the brahmin, and when you are done take the animal to your tent or base and unload whatever its carrying.

Raynor009: /* Recruiting */

'''Mercs''' are mercenaries that you can buy for your own use. They will fight for you and guard a place if you tell them to do so. They are useful to guard a [[base]], for example, or to help you to kill [[creatures]].

== Managing mercs ==
[[File:Mercdialogue.JPG|thumb|An example for a '''merc''' dialogue option.]]
=== Recruiting ===
Merc Recruiters are established in several [[towns]]. They are usually in a house, surrounded by some of their men. Talk to the Merc Recruiter to be able to buy him a merc. Once bought, a merc will belong to you until he dies, their wage is 25% of their hire cost and gives 10% increase in [[loyalty]].

Some claim that a high luck and charisma character might generate better mercs, although it has not been confirmed yet.

=== Interests ===
As you can hire a lot of different mercs, and give them a lot of weapons, it would be good to know exactly what you want to do with them. For example, guarding a base, you'll need both: [[Big Guns]] mercs and snipers - [[ghouls]] snipers are awesome. Rockets may knock-out the enemy while snipers are shooting at him. To help you with getting [[experience]], you'll rather need mercs using energy rifles, making damages but slowly, to let you able to kill the mobs.

Mercs are expensive and never respawn. Making them wandering with you might be dangerous for them, so it would be smarter to use them as guards - for your [[base]], [[tent]], [[caravan]], whatever needs to be guarded. You can tell them to kill anyone but your faction's members, or to kill only your enemies or friends - record them on your faction's computer, etc.

=== Transporting mercs ===
Transporting mercs around now, requires both [[Charisma]] and [[Party Points]] : to be able to transport a merc you will need atleast 2 charisma. Each point to charisma gives you one
more aditional merc slot. Each point to charisma will give you 10 Party Points and for every 3% in [[Speech]] the player will gain 1 Party Point. You may also boost your Party Points
by attempting to obtain the [[Magnetic Personality]] perk which will give you 50 extra Party Points, also the Good Natured trait will give you 50 extra Party Points too, but you will not be able to hold any slaves. Only merc's require both party points and charisma. Each human or mutant merc will give you 1 more additional slave slot. With any number of charisma the player can hold 2 slaves. To be able to get more you need to buy a merc. Each merc will give you the ability to obtain one more slave. It is not required to have the mercs with you when slaving, you can leave them in your tent or base.

Even the mercs/slaves guarding your tent (or base or any other place) are considered as following you, so pay attention to choosing which companions are the most useful for you.

== The buying ==
Please note that '''prices are changing''' all the time but position on list while buying stays same. If you buy a merc, buying the very same merc again will be a bit more expensive for everyone. Also, this price will decrease over time. '''Prices indicated here are then only the starting price for each merc.''' All mercs are delivered with a brand new, fully-loaded weapon.

=== [[New Reno]] ===
New Reno's merc recruiter is in the main entrance area, opposite the ''Desperados'' casino. He will sell you human mercs ([[HtH]], small guns, big guns, energy guns...). Those same mercs are also sold in NCR and Redding.
