Introduction to shit shoveling
If you want to shovel shit all you have to do is go to the brahmin pens in any city and start using a shovel on the shit you see laying around. If you don't have a shovel you can ask the brahmin herdsman for one, they are usually around the brahmin pens.
Equip your shovel and change it's mode to "Use On". Now you need to click on your shovel and then on the brahmin shit laying around. Don't pick up shit with your hands as you won't get payed for it!
For every pile of shit you shovel you'll get 10 xp and a certain amount of caps depending on the town you shovel the shit in (see below).
Location of the brahmin pens
There are brahmin pens in a lot of towns. Here is a list of their locations :
- NCR, in the outer part of the town, in the western city side.
- NCR Train Station (you can only see the Train Station after you complete a certain quest). The train station is not crowded, so you should be left alone there.
- The Hub, near the city's main entrance.
- Junktown, in the town. There are two sets of pens and two Herdsmen, one to the left of the clinic, and one right from the General Store (Darkwater's).
- Redding, near the South Side entrance, to the west.
- Modoc, near the slaughterhouse.
- Klamath, near the city's main entrance.
- Vault City, in the outer part of the city, above the slavess pen, below Happy Harry shop.
- Gecko, in the middle of the city.
- Broken Hills, at the south of the city's main entrance.
- Ghost Farm, on the outside.
- In Boneyard there is no brahmin pen but there is a brahmin walking around that craps all over the place so if you want you could shovel there too. Note : there is no brahmin herdsman in Boneyard so you will have to bring your own shovel and you won't get any caps for it.
Reward
- For each pile shovelled, you get 10 xp.
- For each pile shovelled, you get a certain amount of caps :
Talk to the brahmin herdsman after having cleaned some shit to receive your pay.
Advice
- If you are low level be sure to stay in NCR, The Hub or Junktown, as these are safe towns where you won't get killed by a random player-killers. Otherwise, shit-cleaners are easily shot when they finish their cleaning work and receive their caps...
- If you only shovel shit in NCR or The Hub till you reach level 5 you'll have around 6k caps when you are done. This is very useful for buying your first gun, armour or profession, and, why not ? Buying your very first base...
