By a Campfire on the Trail

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas. This tutorial quest introduces the Player to Crafting. Sunny shows you how to use campfires, but the same principle applies to both the work and reloading benches.

Quick walkthrough

 * Collect Xander Root by the Goodsprings Schoolhouse, next to the tree trunk on the ground.
 * Collect Broc Flower in the Goodsprings Cemetery.
 * Bring the Xander Root and Broc Flower to Sunny at the campfire.
 * Use the campfire to make Healing Powder.
 * Talk to Trudy in the Prospector Saloon.

Detailed walkthrough
After finishing the quest Back in the Saddle, Sunny Smiles offers to show the courier another trick for surviving in the wasteland &mdash; using campfires to cook food. If the player chooses to end the tutorial, this quest is not available.

Sunny asks the courier to retrieve a xander root near the abandoned school house, and a broc flower from the Goodsprings Cemetery. (Both plants can also be found on a hill directly south of the campfire where she waits, so there is no need to travel to the schoolhouse and cemetery to complete the quest.)

After retrieving both items, the courier meets Sunny Smiles at the campfire near the Goodsprings water source, where the courier previously fended off mutated geckos. After talking to Sunny Smiles, go to the campfire to make healing powder.

When this quest is over, head over to the Prospector Saloon to talk with Trudy.

Bugs

 * (Italian version only?) If you follow Sunny to the campfire and talk to her, the quest will be marked as done on your Pip-Boy. Sunny will go back to the Prospector Saloon but you will not get any healing powder and no broc flower nor xander root will appear on the hill south of the campfire. So it's better to go to the Goodsprings Schoolhouse and to the Goodsprings Cemetery and talk to Sunny with all the ingredients.
