In Fallout 76, caps are the primary currency used to buy weapons, armor, plans, and other essentials. If you're looking for a steady income, farming certain FO76 items can be a great way to earn caps quickly. Here are some of the best Fallout 76 items to farm and sell for easy profits.
1. Purified Water
Purified Water is one of the easiest Fallout 76 items to farm. Set up industrial water purifiers at your CAMP, and you’ll have a steady supply. Vendors buy them for around 5 caps each, making this a simple but effective method.
2. Chems (Psycho, Buffout, Med-X)
Chems are always in demand. You can find them in medical containers or loot them from enemies. Selling Psycho, Buffout, and Med-X to vendors can net you a good amount of caps, especially if you have the "Hard Bargain" perk equipped.
3. Marine Tactical Helmet
If you have the plan, crafting Marine Tactical Helmets is a great way to earn caps. They require minimal materials (glass, plastic, and rubber) and sell for around 25-30 caps each.
4. Glowing Blood
Killing glowing creatures in Fallout 76 yields Glowing Blood, which vendors buy for a decent price. Radiation Rumble is an excellent event to farm this FO76 item.
5. Mothman Eggs
Mothman Eggs can be collected in large quantities at Point Pleasant. Cook them into Mothman Egg Omelettes for even better value, as cooked food sells for more.
6. Legendary Scrip Weapons/Armor
While not directly sold for caps, exchanging unwanted legendary FO76 items for scrip and then trading for desirable rolls can help you get high-value gear to sell to other players.
7. Treasure Maps
Treasure Maps lead to loot caches containing weapons, armor, and junk. While they don’t sell to vendors, players often buy them for caps, making them a tradable commodity.
8. Stable Flux
High-level players often seek Stable Flux for crafting. If you have extra from nuke zones, selling it in your vending machine can bring in thousands of caps quickly.
Final Tips for Maximizing Profits
Equip the "Hard Bargain" perk to get better prices.
Sell to vendor bots daily (they have a 1,400-cap pool).
Use your vending machine to sell rare FO76 items to other players.
