I'm halfway through LVL 27, and am looking for some quests to finally get me to 30. Took a level in Swift Learner, so it shouldn't be too bad.
I've done all the major quests in Vegas itself (the casinos, etc.) I believe.
I'm close to the end of the main quest line, so faction-related quests are mostly wrapped up or missed at this point (I did as many as I could.)
Are there any really great XP-filled areas out in the Wastes I can look into?
You could always hunt deathclaws, that's how I used to rank up. Try looking around the railyard to the east of Vegas, there's always several there. Dead Wind Cavern is a good option if you've got balls of steel to deal with the Legendary Deathclaw. You always get 50-75xp for killing any type of Deathclaw, even the babies. --Wiseman of the Wastes 11:26, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
Or make your new mission exterminating all Cazadors nests around the Mojave. There are even a couple of places with good loot to be found... Just try to explore every location and you'll level out eventually.--Om3ro 14:29, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
Have you found all the skill books ? Squalor 18:26, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
When grinding XP, nothing beats Big Horners. They're all over the place and give ridiculous XP for how easy they are to kill. The road up to Jacobstown and surrounding area is full of them, there's a pack in the area between Red Canyon and Bonnie Springs, one near the Broc Flower Cave - Snyder Prospector camp area and more if you follow the pipeline from Camp Golf towards New Vegas and there's probably more packs out there. And the best part is all those packs respawn. Also, you can increase your XP by completing combat/kill/damage challenges while you're killing big horners, they're easy even if you use a weapon you have a low skill level in.

I suggest you do the ghoul space quest you get in Novac if you havent already. It gives a good amount of XP and its kinda interesting. plus you can get a unique set of armor(The space suit)Darth Roxas 01:47, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
