In Fallout 76, knowing where to farm the right materials, junk, and legendary loot can make all the difference. Whether you’re crafting, selling, or stockpiling, some locations in Appalachia are consistently reliable for high-yield returns. If you’re looking to gather key resources efficiently, these 13 spots are must-visits for every serious Wastelander.

1. West Tek Research CenterA go-to spot for farming XP and Super Mutant loot. The enemies here drop high-level gear, caps, and have a solid chance of yielding legendaries. The bonus? You’ll walk out with enough junk to bulk sell for caps or scrap into mods.

2. Whitespring ResortThis massive area is crawling with ghouls and stocked with loot containers. The Whitespring Bunker also has vendors if you want to offload your gear. Pro tip: check the golf club for hidden stashes and rare items.

3. Camden ParkKnown for its carnival flair, Camden is deceptively rich in valuable junk like aluminum, screws, and steel. Scavenge the food stands and rides. Plus, the daily quest offers repeatable caps income.

4. HuntersvillePacked with Super Mutants and valuable loot, this town never fails to reward players with weapons, ammo, and crafting materials. Bring a strong build and a lot of stimpaks.

5. Charleston Fire DepartmentEasy access to loot containers, first aid boxes, and scorched enemies. Also a frequent location for public events, giving you more farming opportunities in one visit.

6. The Rusty PickHome to the Purveyor of legendary items, but also surrounded by mining nodes and junk piles. The area is especially valuable if you’re crafting and looking for legendary roll replacements.

7. Watoga High SchoolFilled with scorched and containers, this location is great for farming junk, weapons, and chems. The desks and classrooms are rich in loose screws and plastic — essential for mods and armor.

8. Vault-Tec Agricultural Research CenterA farming hotspot for fertilizer, plastic, and steel. The bots and scorched make this a light combat zone with excellent resource rewards.

9. Morgantown High SchoolEvery room in the school has something useful — from typewriters to microscopes. Ideal for farming copper, springs, and gears. You’ll often find lootable containers untouched by other players.

10. Sugar GroveA goldmine for technical junk like circuits, military-grade duct tape, and fiber optics. Great if you’re crafting energy weapons or mods. Expect tough robot enemies.

11. Pleasant Valley CabinsA high-yield spot for junk and gear, especially if you need steel, cloth, and adhesive. If you’re grinding out bulk junk for vendor caps, this is a solid stop.

12. Fort DefianceA fan-favorite for farming legendary enemies and Brotherhood-themed loot. The building is long, complex, and filled with valuable scrap — but also dangerous enemies. Come prepared.

13. Uranium Fever Event Site (Blackwater Mine)Even when the event isn’t active, this mine is full of mole miners and valuable ore veins. It’s one of the better spots for raw materials and legendary drops.

Farming the right places regularly can help you build a steady income of gear and junk to recycle or sell. For players who want to maintain an edge or flip gear for profit, it’s smart to explore these hot zones routinely. Whether you're scavenging for crafting materials or checking Fallout 76 items for sale PC listings to complete your gear set, smart resource management always pays off.

Also, if you're on console, many players looking to buy Fallout 76 caps Xbox One often exchange items farmed from these very locations. Keep grinding, keep selling, and don’t forget to check those vendors — one man’s trash is always someone else's next upgrade.
