Other ways to increase stats include implants at the New Vegas clinic and skill

books which are found all over the Mojave wasteland for more information on

these I suggest you use another guide

Notes: speech and barter are the most often used, followed by science and

medicine, then explosives and repair, and finally guns and survival.

Also you can change your tag skills once you’re leaving good

springs to boost other skills instead.

The priority keys do not tell you how important a skill is just how soon it

comes up in the story for instance first priority may just be to earn a few

extra caps whilst third will allow you to complete a quest but first will come

up sooner in your adventure so make sure you get these ones first.

Finally I suggest you have one or two playthroughs yourself so you know what is

what and know more about which quests require which skills as this guide

doesn't go into that much detail.
