What rewards the most Electrical XP?

[Undefined]

The best I've found are disassembling Paper Towel Dispensers (2.5xp 1.25 without xp boosts).

There's also at least one store that has a crap ton of cameras. I've only found one in Riverside, though; I haven't checked for them elsewhere.

Go to restaurants. You'll find big electrical ovens. They give great exp. Mass disassemble digital watches. You can just stand near some corpses and you can do multiple at once.

Thanks for the oven / restaurant tip.

I've been dismantling digital watches forever now and they're just not enough to make a dent after about 2-3 levels. I know they help out so long as you're doing other things to level up Electrical, but they're horrible on their own.

I've also dismantled other items on zombies, like earbuds and walkie-talkies.

Getting to level five to make the lamps takes a lot of work. If you use a shotgun you can collect a lot of watches fast.

Repairing generators also gives a large amount of Electrical EXP, but you'll have to keep them active for a good length of time before you can really reap the benefits of that.

Are they always good quality when you find them?

Dismantle walkie talkies gives a nice amount. Radios. Watches are abit slow. Payphones are abit slow. A desktop computer gives a nice hit. But I find probably walkie talkies to be the bulk of my dismantles.

I was thinking of setting up a bunch of generators with a bunch of power-draining appliances at a gas station and seeing how that would work for farming XP but, from what I recall, a single repair isn't a lot and I would have to bring their condition down significantly (which takes time), so I just haven't bothered.

I may just try it, though. I'm currently in Rosewood and have found 3 generators, one which is already at the gas station.

Edit: I found 2 more generators

Dismantle all the tvs and stand lamps also help. Tvs (iirc) giving you pretty good xp.

If i recall well tv-s give 2.5 xp if you read the appropriate book.

Nah, TVs only give 0.5 XP, but Stand Lamps are good (1.25 XP), I appreciate that one.

Wall clocks are also good (1.25 XP).

Edit, I think I've had these all wrong, I was going purely by the skill book multiplier.

With total multiplier, I have it as:

TVs are 2.0.

Stand Lamps, Wall Clocks, and Paper-Towel Dispensers are 5.0

Hood Extractor (device above industrial ovens) are 10.0

What about building radios? I think there's a magazine which teaches it at an AV club somewhere...

Those magazines can only be found in certain spots and are probably tougher to find than the generator magazine.

The Guerilla Radio magazines in particular can only be found in engineer houses and vehicles as well as the trunks of radio vans.

And does crafting radios reward XP? I'm not sure.

[Animalman]

They are tougher to find thAn the generator mag I’ve only ever found them at the small hunting and rural supply in the central farmlands from a local mailbox. But back when this happened I didn’t have the player skill to go and build those radios at the time. But guerella stuff is extremely rare

[Animalman]

There is a house event with guerrilla supply a mag and possibly some crafted items. This is also rare. For example it’s so rare that if you checked an entire dense block of houses in central LV you will struggle to find one.

You should setup your generators. I don't think it matters if it powers anything. Wiki says it loses 1.2% condition per day. The exp is worth it.
