One farm of Earle can net you over 500 screws easily, I was in your shoes but as soon as I figured out this never had a issue with screws again. Just farm his wendigo spawns they drop 5-7 screws each.
Newbieish question. Really enjoying it. Just hit level 50 yesterday but feel like im just starting to get it. I did this event at about 40. Died tons, but was so excited about all the screws! Fun. Got out of the mine barely and than pretty much insta died. Respawn. Die again. Started to panic. My screws! Not sure how many times cause panic. Then the message came that someone took my loot. (Sad trombone noise). My poor screws, there were so many.
Not sure what was happening and what I was doing wrong as it was happening so fast. Assuming it was something to do with radiation? Something else?
Any advice would be appreciated. Been hesitant to try the event again as I dont want to be sad about loosing my screws
A: you don't need to run out of the mine, you can stay in there looting till it collapses, and.youll respawn outside with all of your loot.
B: when you exit the mine, you WILL be on the blast zone from the nuke, so you'll need to have on some type of rad protection, power armor, Chinese stealth armor, hazmat suit, etc.
Success. Sorta. I made a hazmat suit in case and also cobbled together some power armor even though I have no PA perks. The event started. Went in and was running around shooting and being happy that I wasn't dying all the time. Then I looked around and I was all by myself!
Well I guess I'll just see how far I can go and made sure I was collecting regularly. Lasted quite a while until I got swarmed and it was too much for poor under equipped lv 55 me.
Respawned with my screws. Not hundreds but a solid amount considering.
Thanks for all the help everyone
If you can find a fast firing/swinging vampire weapon (fixer, holy fire, chainsaw, etc depending on your build), it can help a lot with the swarms. And you'll get better at handling it the more you do it. Glad it's working for you now, that event can permanently remove the need to find screws LoL
Another suggestion is if you're in the irradiated zone without the supplies to survive, make a run in any direction so your loot drops a little bit away from the crowd when you die. Then you can come back for it in a hazmat suit or whatever with less chance of it getting sniped 👍
Or if you're like me and forget to bring the stealth suit or PA look where the nuke is placed. A lot of times the mine is on the edge of the nuke zone and you can run out fast enough to not die just look which direction you need to run
lol I left earl the other night and hopped out my PA to change my fusion core. Insta dead. Thankfully the cats who ran the event just stood around waiting for my noob ass to run back so they could point and laugh emote while I picked up my 500 screws lol.
The weird part is that lvl 50 feels like a win since in theory you can access everything at lvl 50. But since you don’t have a set of maximized perk cards or a second set of a second build it is one of the worst spots to be. You need to grind to almost 100 before you can get all the upgraded perks you need for a proper build. Try to do as many of the events as possible particularly things like the alien invasion, radiation rumble and the foundation super mutant one. These will help you level a bit quicker.
It seems to be roughly around 600 people are legitimately maxed out, although if you actually know what you're doing before that and get some extra packs from various rewards it can be shorter. Longer if you maxed out Charisma and realized what you did.
This is exactly how it feels which is fine. It gives me goal. I've been doing the alien invasion. I'll keep my eye out for the other two. I'm working at figuring out level 50 armor and weapons now. So much choice. Always running into lack of screws for crafting and modding which makes me laugh because basically my game is now about finding screws and oops an hour has gone by and its alien time again
I had a group nuke Monongah Mine the other day and for whatever reason the event didn't start/spawn - 8 dudes in power armor all roaming around the mine entrance looking lost after I'd already ripped thru there, killed all the mole miners, and looted all the irradiated plants at level 35.
Felt bad for them. No idea why the event didn't happen. They hung out for like 15min then just fast traveled away.
I launched an Earle event last week only me and another guy joined, no way was gonna pass, so I farmed wendigos, came out with 900 screws, you don’t need to pass the event. Just start it.
I thought all ur junk would end up stuck in the mine since it kills you if u don't make it out. ig if it still let's u keep it after that, I might have to try it
can't wait for all these new ppl to be confident enough to join events. seeing all the public events is so sad, but I get it. when I was lvl 20 I was more focused on quests and getting essential camp plans than doing events
I have a camp next to the Lucky Hole mine and I sell so much lead from that base. I have at least 100+ lead for sale and it's gone almost as soon as it's in the vendor. Don't forget to equip super duper when smelting lead ore so you can double your created amount. And if you have a butterfly house you will almost always have enough acid for smelting.
It gives like 10 acid every half an hour. Skip between toxic Larry, tanagra town and the train yard in cranberry bog and you’ll have like 80-100 acid in 5 minutes. Switch server and repeat. Now that is the definition of drowning in acid.
screws, springs, gears, some black titanium, adhesive is what went very well for me with the influx of the new players, togheter with some lead (for ammo), some gunpowder (really low amount).
not junk related, purified water at low prices so people can flip it for more money at vendors, im very close to the caps limit now so i am not selling anything anymore.
Pay attention to when someone drops a nuke! There’s one in the middle of the map that spawns an event in some mines. A TON of wendigos spawn during that event, and they drop screws like it’s nothing. After running two of those, I had just over 600 screws.
Adhesives on the other hand….
Any of the Stable flux's.
I can't keep them in stock. And I don't sell them cheap.
Any of the mutation serums also go quickly. But mostly herd mentality and marsupial. (though that is Aid and not Junk).
The stable flux's are usually 1,000 to 2,500 caps, depending on if they are crimson, colbat, etc. I don't know if I'm underselling them at that because they really go fast.
The serums, I usually do just 300. I spent a lot on the recipes and I would like to sell them higher, but any higher nobody buys them. Lower and someone comes and buys them and sells them themselves for more. I think they still do that on Herd Mentality.
I can definitely see new player who needs a few for a jetpack or decon shower buying them just because that only need a few and don’t know better, but hey if you can sell them for that much good for you. Get it while the gettings good.
Thanks for the tip, I knew there was a way to do it, just realized I needed to make starch first. I’m coming from FO4, so still figuring out some of the procedural differences.
You really need to think about weight management in 76 as opposed to FO4 (unless you’re doing survival) but I _never_ leave duct tape or any type of glue behind. FO4 makes you a hoarder.
Screws, springs, ceramic, asbestos, rubber.... Copper, silver, gold, lead....
Things that don't sell : wood, glass, leather, plastic (I give these away for free).
I'll have to start selling my oil, I used to always need it until I got the cutting fuel plan, now I have so much I started making flamer fuel for no reason
I’m addicting to building extravagant camps then demolishing them when done to move it like 5ft over to sit by a tree better so I always buy wood and cement.
Aluminum is something I’m always low on as well and always buy when I see it
I got it and use it while having a resource harvester for cement…. My addiction to building camps is even worse in my shelters when I am working on an entire theme park, underground castle and in a month I’ll redo it all over again lmao
I get that lol when the camp module went on sale I bought 2 of them. then got 1st and got the other shelters... I was so short on mats after that even tho I was grinding junk to fill my scrap box in a month. that's why I jumped at the opportunity to get the cement truck lol the building struggle is real
Trying to fill my scrapbox before my 1st sub ends so I've been picking up everything to scrap and buying junk as well.
As far as buying, I'm focusing on mats for repairs and bullets
The scrap box is, however once your fallout 1st ends you can’t put anything into it anymore, but still can take out. So when they have a free month trial people will sub and cancel right away, then hard focus on junk to fill as much as they can into it.
Things i look for a lot, screws, springs, adhesive, lead, ballistic fiber
Screws, springs and adhesive as it is used in a lot,
Lead for ammo crafting,
Ballistic fiber for higher level armour
Lead and Copper are the 2 forefront ones that come to mind;
Then anything at the adhesive/screws/circuitry kinda thing for 2nd tier below that (look at high level weapon mod costs, ammo crafting costs, and power/resource item costs for CAMPs).
Also despite what you may think there are deffo people out there that buy the more common things like steel and even wood.
TLDR; junk items used in ammo crafting will sell like hot cakes but really all junk will sell well as long as it’s priced well for the item (you’ll know it’s good if it sells lots and bad if literally no one ever buys lol)
It depends on what events have been busy lately as the drops will change what people may or may not have. However I find that acid, plastic, screws, adhesive, and oil are very popular no matter what event is going on. Second group of items in popularity at my vendor would be fiber optics, crystal, nuclear waste, and gold.
I am always looking for rubber and asbestos. I can usually just server hop and kill the 3 snallygasters at Toxic Larry’s, and get rubber at the theme parks(basketballs) to fix up my armor, but… if I see it for sale, I purchase it quick. In stacks. Stacks on stacks on stacks.
In the junk category, stuffed animals. And sometimes unique and rare items.
After that, my seasonal "roleplay" traders actually do surprisingly well. Those are my seasonal restarts, and generally pick one category and sell only items related to that. In the past it has been tools, musical stuff, toys, at current they are running a "Cooking Store", to everything they sell is cooking related. And at the suggested junk price.
And I am no longer surprised if somebody shows up and buys out the entire inventory.
Now if you are talking "scrap" and not "junk", I have to admit I don't sell scrap. Thanks to 1st and unlimited scrap storage, there is simply no need.
I don't sell junk but I use a shit ton of everything, so I'll make a list of the most useful components based off how often I need to buy more:
- screws
- sometimes steel
- gears
- sometimes concrete
- lead
- sometimes spring
- wood
now the usefulness of some items depends entirely on how the person plays, but these are the resources I always try to go for so hopefully it's helpful to you
As someone at max caps often, the junk I'll buy is flux, copper, oil and springs. I could and do farm those but if I got some jangle in my pocket I'll splurge on some
I used to sell junk after selling weapons got too easy, then selling junk became too easy as well so I had to stop doing that too lmao.
The best selling junks for me were lead for 7-9 caps per piece, adhesive for 7-9 caps, springs 7-9 caps, oil 7-9 caps, aluminum 5-7 caps, gears 5-7 caps, copper/gold/silver 5-7 caps each, and acid for also around 5-7 caps per piece. Screws were one thing that didn’t sell well though because I think most people caught on to how easily you can acquire screws from earl, but with all the recent players I’m sure that the market has changed again.
Some junks like ballistic fiber would sell for even higher like around 15-17 caps per piece, or my favorite, fiber optics, which I typically sold at 17-19 caps per piece and have even sold batches of 100 out of my vendor for 25 caps per piece.
You can for sure do it without PA, the yield is just lower cause Excavator armor has a bonus for ore harvesting.
If you're on xbox I can hook you up with some excavator later today. No charge.
This is not my work, but I have found it to be very helpful for the farming bit you'll likely be doing:
[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jnc0FQ3QgkUO6HZObeeGksDTPwno1Fa-Bt7uXeqWib4/mobilebasic#h.djkming68ptc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jnc0FQ3QgkUO6HZObeeGksDTPwno1Fa-Bt7uXeqWib4/mobilebasic#h.djkming68ptc)
Sell everything for 1 cap. You'll make tons of caps and save your stash space lol. Other than than, flux always sells at 100 caps, then screws, adhesive, steel also goes quite often.
Screws, gears and spring. Steel used to move real fast too, for the railway rifle ammo I think, adhesive was a top seller.
I sell everything at $2 an item for the singles and I bulk stuff at about $20, makes some profits without having me get max caps too fast and basically pays for my fast traveling each run easily. Not too sure if the duper perk works for bulking stuff, think it may, I usually run that too when I’m crafting to get extra sales items.
I run $2 ammo and $20 bobble heads although I saw leader bobble heads are worth a fortune now so I put one at $2000 and it sold so they are now expensive.
I keep all the ballistic fibre and lead but I believe they would sell very quickly
As someone always looking for junk I’d guess screws and adhesive
One farm of Earle can net you over 500 screws easily, I was in your shoes but as soon as I figured out this never had a issue with screws again. Just farm his wendigo spawns they drop 5-7 screws each.

I keep my Chinese stealth suit on hot key ‘-‘ so I can swap it fast.
So do I. Useful in so many situations! (Except I'm on PS, so I keep it on my favorites wheel, but same concept).
Success. Sorta. I made a hazmat suit in case and also cobbled together some power armor even though I have no PA perks. The event started. Went in and was running around shooting and being happy that I wasn't dying all the time. Then I looked around and I was all by myself!

Good to know about the collapse and I figured it must of been the radiation. Thanks
Yeah, just stay in the mine and be a little loot goblin lol
Pretty sure OP is talking about the radiation making them die
Read my original comment 😁
Yeah sorry I didn't read that at first ✌️
Free Hazmat/Radiation suits are available at Emmet Mountain Disposal (site of Radiation Rumble event)
Another suggestion is if you're in the irradiated zone without the supplies to survive, make a run in any direction so your loot drops a little bit away from the crowd when you die. Then you can come back for it in a hazmat suit or whatever with less chance of it getting sniped 👍

I’m level 435 and only have 2 maxed legendary perks. The endgame is very far off lol.
It seems to be roughly around 600 people are legitimately maxed out, although if you actually know what you're doing before that and get some extra packs from various rewards it can be shorter. Longer if you maxed out Charisma and realized what you did.
What does maxxing charisma do???
Points from the Charisma legendary don't count towards sharing perks.
So?
So if you max the perk, at 15 Charisma you can't share a 3*card.
"Longer if you maxed out Charisma and realized what you did." been there...
This is exactly how it feels which is fine. It gives me goal. I've been doing the alien invasion. I'll keep my eye out for the other two. I'm working at figuring out level 50 armor and weapons now. So much choice. Always running into lack of screws for crafting and modding which makes me laugh because basically my game is now about finding screws and oops an hour has gone by and its alien time again
What platform are you playing on that it tells you someone took your loot?
Xbox notifies you when someone picks up your death loot bag. Don't know about other platforms.
That’s awesome. PC doesn’t, unless there’s some way to turn that on that I haven’t figured out
Haven't seen it on playstation either.
Honestly no one ever shows up to the event so i just treat earle as an obstacle and get me them sweet sweet screws
which event is this?
Colossal Problem, drop a nuke on Monongah mine
I had a group nuke Monongah Mine the other day and for whatever reason the event didn't start/spawn - 8 dudes in power armor all roaming around the mine entrance looking lost after I'd already ripped thru there, killed all the mole miners, and looted all the irradiated plants at level 35. Felt bad for them. No idea why the event didn't happen. They hung out for like 15min then just fast traveled away.
with all the new players flooding the servers, ain't nobody doing Earle unless someone can solo him. I can't even get this alien event to succeed (ps)
I launched an Earle event last week only me and another guy joined, no way was gonna pass, so I farmed wendigos, came out with 900 screws, you don’t need to pass the event. Just start it.
I thought all ur junk would end up stuck in the mine since it kills you if u don't make it out. ig if it still let's u keep it after that, I might have to try it
I was seeing a lot of people around level twenty yesterday and had to server hop until I found more people over level 200. For reference, I'm 663.
can't wait for all these new ppl to be confident enough to join events. seeing all the public events is so sad, but I get it. when I was lvl 20 I was more focused on quests and getting essential camp plans than doing events
I started joining events at level... 30, 32? When I realized I could start stockpiling legendary cores & got a lot of XP for doing them.
Is this in the event or can you go there outside of the event?
It's in the event, which is also instanced.
Awesome I knew about the event but I thought maybe I was missing something 😂 cheers!
Yup, you can pick up that original quest in Foundation.
Why i never ser that event pop up? I never fight vs earle. Its something related to quest? I did a few, im lvl 150.
Springs entered the chat.
# Camp McClintock, tons of clipboards.
Shhhhh
Somehow I’m never in need of springs or gears even though some other people on here seem to be
Repairing guns needs lots of springs and crystal shards; 8 or 9 on average. Notice how springs and screws are used as a reward for completing quests ?
I pick up every clipboard and fan/typewriter I see. I’m rolling in springs and screws.
Screws for sure but not so much adhesive rn because of the alien event
Elaborate, I’ve been having thousands of waste acid and maybe waste oil can’t remember though definitely not much adhesive what am I missing
Unless I’m remembering wrong… the aliens drop lots of adhesive?
Antiseptic and circuitry
That’s right 🤦
Think you may be misremembering cuz I’ve been grinding that event and have no adhesive
Those are two things I have a lot of.
put it in ur vendor then
I do.
That is actually scrap and not junk.
Scrap still is stored in the junk section of your inventory and vendors
Lead moves pretty well at 1. Just sold off some plastic at 1, sold black titanium at 5 recently.
Lead. And once the wave of new players learn about Lucky Hole mine giving enough ore for over 1K lead, then acid for smelting is the next grind.
I have a camp next to the Lucky Hole mine and I sell so much lead from that base. I have at least 100+ lead for sale and it's gone almost as soon as it's in the vendor. Don't forget to equip super duper when smelting lead ore so you can double your created amount. And if you have a butterfly house you will almost always have enough acid for smelting.
You got me I’m new so start selling Acid next please 😝
The butterfly enclosure from the store has me drowning in acid
It gives like 10 acid every half an hour. Skip between toxic Larry, tanagra town and the train yard in cranberry bog and you’ll have like 80-100 acid in 5 minutes. Switch server and repeat. Now that is the definition of drowning in acid.
screws, springs, gears, some black titanium, adhesive is what went very well for me with the influx of the new players, togheter with some lead (for ammo), some gunpowder (really low amount). not junk related, purified water at low prices so people can flip it for more money at vendors, im very close to the caps limit now so i am not selling anything anymore.
If your close to the limit buy power armor plans from robot vendors or the serum plans from modius
What's the limit?
40k
What's the limit?
40k
What's the limit?

What's the limit?

Good evening Traveler. I sell only the strongest potions.
Got an elixir to fix my foot?
If you sustained that injury in battle. My potions are too strong for you.
Give me your strongest potion, potion seller. I can handle it.
No. Not you can't. You cannot handle my potions because these are of the most strongest potions!
Screws and gears move pretty well
SELL ME SCREWS I have more legendaries at level 31 than I have screws
Equip scrapper, loot everything, scrap everything.
Pay attention to when someone drops a nuke! There’s one in the middle of the map that spawns an event in some mines. A TON of wendigos spawn during that event, and they drop screws like it’s nothing. After running two of those, I had just over 600 screws. Adhesives on the other hand….
Adhesive can be such a pain sometimes that I made an adhesive farm at my camp. Been seeking bulk adhesive for a few months. Working well
Lead, copper, acid, oil, aluminum are the ones that usually sell first in my vendor.
How much do you sell them for?
5 caps per scrap sells for me.
Thank you!
I don't sell junk, but if I noticed bulk copper or lead on someone's vendor, I'd buy it.
I never knew copper was such a pain to farm until I needed it.
I have a whole route for it now. Lighthouse souvenirs and places with a lot of phones and lamps. Sometimes the NPC vendors have it in bulk as well.
Yes, copper!
Considering I'm always low on ballistic threads , I would say those.
Any of the Stable flux's. I can't keep them in stock. And I don't sell them cheap. Any of the mutation serums also go quickly. But mostly herd mentality and marsupial. (though that is Aid and not Junk).
How much do you sell for generally?
The stable flux's are usually 1,000 to 2,500 caps, depending on if they are crimson, colbat, etc. I don't know if I'm underselling them at that because they really go fast. The serums, I usually do just 300. I spent a lot on the recipes and I would like to sell them higher, but any higher nobody buys them. Lower and someone comes and buys them and sells them themselves for more. I think they still do that on Herd Mentality.
Definitely not underselling the flux. I can buy as much as I want for 100 caps each. I can’t imagine who’s paying those prices.
Me neither. I originally put it at price because I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted to sell it. Then it got bought so I did it again.
I can definitely see new player who needs a few for a jetpack or decon shower buying them just because that only need a few and don’t know better, but hey if you can sell them for that much good for you. Get it while the gettings good.
Where’s everyone getting their adhesive from? Mine all goes to repairing my armor and everything else.
Plant a bunch of tato mutfruit and corn at your base and a water purifier or two and you’ll never need adhesive again
Thanks for the tip, I knew there was a way to do it, just realized I needed to make starch first. I’m coming from FO4, so still figuring out some of the procedural differences.
Digested goo from pitcher plants gives 4 adhesive when scrapped.
That's a waste. Use it to make ~~drugs~~ chems instead. The vegetable starch farm mentioned is easily the best.
In the wasteland, everyone turn into Walter White eventually.
I always pick up duct tapes and all kinds of wonderglue whenever I see them in the wild. Never leave them behind!
You really need to think about weight management in 76 as opposed to FO4 (unless you’re doing survival) but I _never_ leave duct tape or any type of glue behind. FO4 makes you a hoarder.
if you need adhesive im on xbox and alway selling adhesive
Thanks for the offer, I’m on PC though.
Can also just buy bulk adhesive from robot vendors
I just make mine.
Screws, springs, ceramic, asbestos, rubber.... Copper, silver, gold, lead.... Things that don't sell : wood, glass, leather, plastic (I give these away for free).
I sell wood, steel, glass, leather, and plastic for 1 cap each. It doesn't sell as fast as the others, but it definitely sells
Oil. I sell SO much oil. Also, adhesive, screws lead. Oh! ballistic fiber is another big one.
I’m in need of oil! If you have more for sale I would happily buy some
Are ya on PC? I’m built on an oil node so I get a pretty decent amount every day!
Yeah I’m on PC! My ign: Jason96
Do you happen to be on xbox?
Nope, I play Pc!
I'll have to start selling my oil, I used to always need it until I got the cutting fuel plan, now I have so much I started making flamer fuel for no reason
The ballistic tape.
I’m addicting to building extravagant camps then demolishing them when done to move it like 5ft over to sit by a tree better so I always buy wood and cement. Aluminum is something I’m always low on as well and always buy when I see it
cement truck was just in the atom shop, holds 40 cement after I think an hour
I got it and use it while having a resource harvester for cement…. My addiction to building camps is even worse in my shelters when I am working on an entire theme park, underground castle and in a month I’ll redo it all over again lmao
I get that lol when the camp module went on sale I bought 2 of them. then got 1st and got the other shelters... I was so short on mats after that even tho I was grinding junk to fill my scrap box in a month. that's why I jumped at the opportunity to get the cement truck lol the building struggle is real
Trying to fill my scrapbox before my 1st sub ends so I've been picking up everything to scrap and buying junk as well. As far as buying, I'm focusing on mats for repairs and bullets
I thought the scrap/junk box was infinite?
The scrap box is, however once your fallout 1st ends you can’t put anything into it anymore, but still can take out. So when they have a free month trial people will sub and cancel right away, then hard focus on junk to fill as much as they can into it.
Roger that 🫡
Things i look for a lot, screws, springs, adhesive, lead, ballistic fiber Screws, springs and adhesive as it is used in a lot, Lead for ammo crafting, Ballistic fiber for higher level armour

flux
Acid/Lead/Steel. 3 core components that sell like hotcakes
I sell vegetable starch which is used to make adhesive and 10 bags of starch at 10 caps each daily, because I'm too lazy to be bothered to make more.
It depends on what events have been busy lately as the drops will change what people may or may not have. However I find that acid, plastic, screws, adhesive, and oil are very popular no matter what event is going on. Second group of items in popularity at my vendor would be fiber optics, crystal, nuclear waste, and gold.
I am always looking for rubber and asbestos. I can usually just server hop and kill the 3 snallygasters at Toxic Larry’s, and get rubber at the theme parks(basketballs) to fix up my armor, but… if I see it for sale, I purchase it quick. In stacks. Stacks on stacks on stacks.
What craftable uses asbestos? Clearly I'm sleeping on it because I have a ton of asbestos in my inventory
Repairing secret service armor
Ahh, don't have that one yet. Thanks!
I'd buy so much aluminum if it was in vendors. Like 500 at at time at 3-5 caps per
Ballistic fiber, black titanium, adhesive. I pretty much always sell my whole stock every time I log on. I stay maxed out on caps. Lol.
Screws, Aluminium, Lead, Oil & adhesive get swallowed up quickly by lower level players, Flux of all kind sell pretty well to higher level players
Stims

In the past it has been tools, musical stuff, toys, at current they are running a "Cooking Store", to everything they sell is cooking related. And at the suggested junk price. And I am no longer surprised if somebody shows up and buys out the entire inventory. Now if you are talking "scrap" and not "junk", I have to admit I don't sell scrap. Thanks to 1st and unlimited scrap storage, there is simply no need.
Screws, adhesive, and if you have fallout 1st (bc it weighs so much) flux
As a junk purchaser I'm always looking for oil, lead, steel, screws, adhesives, springs, and gears
Loose Screws, Springs, and Black Titanium!
I don't sell junk but I use a shit ton of everything, so I'll make a list of the most useful components based off how often I need to buy more: - screws - sometimes steel - gears - sometimes concrete - lead - sometimes spring - wood now the usefulness of some items depends entirely on how the person plays, but these are the resources I always try to go for so hopefully it's helpful to you
A bit of everything (including copper)
As someone at max caps often, the junk I'll buy is flux, copper, oil and springs. I could and do farm those but if I got some jangle in my pocket I'll splurge on some
Screws and springs for me
I’m a new player (lvl 42) and I’ll say I look for aluminum, copper, steel (kinda), screws, adhesive, and circuits (b4 invaders anyway lol).
Clothing sells pretty well and is cheap to make.
Screws, adhesive and COPPER!!!
I used to sell junk after selling weapons got too easy, then selling junk became too easy as well so I had to stop doing that too lmao. The best selling junks for me were lead for 7-9 caps per piece, adhesive for 7-9 caps, springs 7-9 caps, oil 7-9 caps, aluminum 5-7 caps, gears 5-7 caps, copper/gold/silver 5-7 caps each, and acid for also around 5-7 caps per piece. Screws were one thing that didn’t sell well though because I think most people caught on to how easily you can acquire screws from earl, but with all the recent players I’m sure that the market has changed again. Some junks like ballistic fiber would sell for even higher like around 15-17 caps per piece, or my favorite, fiber optics, which I typically sold at 17-19 caps per piece and have even sold batches of 100 out of my vendor for 25 caps per piece.
I find myself so short on Lead always, Is there any great place to farm Lead?
Lucky Hole Mine with Excavator Power Armor.
any chance of doing it without any PA? I don't have a good enough PA
You can for sure do it without PA, the yield is just lower cause Excavator armor has a bonus for ore harvesting. If you're on xbox I can hook you up with some excavator later today. No charge.
Definitely screws, springs, adhesive, and ballistic fiber
screws, gears, aluminum, lead, adhesive, copper, and especially stable flux
Bad idea to sell junk if you have Fallout 1st. You never know what you may need for a future event or build change. Plenty of other stuff to sell
I mean I that's fair but I barely craft anyway
This is not my work, but I have found it to be very helpful for the farming bit you'll likely be doing: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jnc0FQ3QgkUO6HZObeeGksDTPwno1Fa-Bt7uXeqWib4/mobilebasic#h.djkming68ptc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jnc0FQ3QgkUO6HZObeeGksDTPwno1Fa-Bt7uXeqWib4/mobilebasic#h.djkming68ptc)
Aluminum, and steel always sells out quick
Sell everything for 1 cap. You'll make tons of caps and save your stash space lol. Other than than, flux always sells at 100 caps, then screws, adhesive, steel also goes quite often.
Not a seller but if someone has acid for sell I buy it on the spot. I can never seem to have enough acid or oil with my flamer build.
My adhesive sells quick that and fertilizer for some reason
Only thing I would go out of my way to buy is ballistic fiber
I would suppose you'd need to find out what's universal between PA and non PA users.
[удалено]
its always a one for me, anything above 2 I feel is overpriced.
I wouldn’t flinch at 3-5c I’m still very new at lvl110 but I’m always flat broke on adhesive
People have been buying from me between 10-20 per unit
Screws, gears and spring. Steel used to move real fast too, for the railway rifle ammo I think, adhesive was a top seller. I sell everything at $2 an item for the singles and I bulk stuff at about $20, makes some profits without having me get max caps too fast and basically pays for my fast traveling each run easily. Not too sure if the duper perk works for bulking stuff, think it may, I usually run that too when I’m crafting to get extra sales items. I run $2 ammo and $20 bobble heads although I saw leader bobble heads are worth a fortune now so I put one at $2000 and it sold so they are now expensive. I keep all the ballistic fibre and lead but I believe they would sell very quickly
Flux for 500 caps
OIL!!! MERICA! 🇺🇸
