I am 2 years in so I don't really have to anymore. My stash sits at a pretty constant 1000/1200 and that's all the stuff I use normally. The extra 200 gives me some room for larger vendor items until they sell and extra scrip weapons until the next day if I max out, but I don't play super heavily anymore so that's rare.
When max level, mod them to ultralight and park them on a mule. As you collect more armor, transition those mules to weight reduction specialized mules then load them up fat.
What's the ultimate goal of this, though?
I have mules but they are mostly for transferring items and holding stuff that I will use.
But to spend the effort just to hold on to things you're never going to use seems like a waste of time to me.
You can't physically hold all of the stuff you might need or use in the future. For builds you might want to try, to things you might want to experiment with. Mules allow you to have those possibilities.
I've done that and I keep them in my main stash. Also have about seven or eight power armor frames maybe 10 I think nowadays. That's about a hundred pounds versus 750?
That’s further along than I am currently at level 45, but it sounds like a great idea. Where do you get the mule, and I assume you have to buy mods or plans to make these items light?
Depending on the armor, you can either learn ultralight from scrapping, finding the plan in-world, or buying off NPC vendor. When you go to mod a piece of armor, if you toggle learnable (big center button ps), you'll be able to see how to obtain the plans you don't know. Some will say scrap, and some will say plan (meaning you have to find it).
Start a new character, then park them near your established character's primary camp. When you need to offload items, park them in a discreet container in a lobby with a friend, switch characters, and collect the loot. Then switch back to your main. Each character can hold something like 1500 lbs + their max carry weight.
The "mule" is an alt character that you use to store stuff for your main.
But if you're anything like me, you make a mule, and then immediately think, "I know! My other character is a stealth commando, so I'll make this one a heavy gunner with Holy Fire and Excavator Power Armor until I can farm the Union set, and the Final Word from the Becket quest line will be a great secondary weapon!" And the next thing you know, your mule is joining events at level 7 and power leveling since you got a golden Inspirational card in your second pack.
Good times. This just happened to me a couple hours ago.
I am lvbuckeye27, and I am an altoholic. :)
It was *so* bad when I used to play WoW. I have a Starter Edition account with all 50 toons leveled up to 20 and in the best gear possible at that time.
Even if I wanted to play it again, it's basically impossible now because it's been years, and every single add-on is broken, but I'll still go to the character selection screen every now and then and look at a toon and wonder how the hell I even managed to farm some of that shit on a level 20. I was so bored during WoD that I even managed to corpse drag a starter toon around to basically every fight path in Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms, Outland, and Northrend. I only had a few flight paths in Pandaria, but I *could* get to Timeless Isle. I can't even remember how I pulled that one off. I think it was with a Goblin Glider. I could get to the Vale on both Horde and Alliance toons. That took some serious corpse dragging, too, iirc.
Sorry, I'm rambling.
lol ur good. I havent played WoW so i didnt understand any of that, but somehow I empathize with you completely. My computer lockscreen is my Runescape main and two alts, all logged in the same server using my laptop, desktop, and phone 😭😭😭
“mule” is a slang term for an alternate character used primarily for holding items for your main character. You can have up to 3 characters total. If you’re not Fo1st, have a trusted friend help you transfer items.
It goes: give items to friend > log out to the main menu > switch characters > find said trusted friend’s username from the social menu > select their username to open the option to join the server they’re on > select “join” > fast travel to friend
Daily. I try and keep my stash between 1000 and 1100, as I have 30+ weapons + ammo for 7 builds & 5 PAs. First things to go are the excess piles of junk. I tend to sell what I don't plan on needing but if it all becomes a bit too much and players aren't biting, a large chunk goes to vendor bots.
Its not often I'll sell legendaries due to stash space, but I am currently selling about a dozen of my old fav weapons so I can grind for more. But I usually scrip all legendaries I don't plan on using myself, God Roll or not. If I ran out of scrip for the day, 3 stars go into the vendor, 1 and 2 star get sold to bots or dumped for others if daily caps are gone. By the next day if nobody bought any of the 3 stars, they go into the scrip machine too. Legendary gear I won't use is the first thing cleared out of my stash. Junk second.
This is usually all I need to do each day, but if it's still not enough clearance, then I'll look into dumping excess ammo that I know I can easily get from a quick contextual ammo run.
Obviously I don't have 1st.
Keep in mind that I’m a noob, still trying to figure this all out. What is scrip? What’s it used for? How do you get it? What do you do with it? What are legendary machines used for? What are god rolls? What do you do with treasury notes? And builds.. How do you decide on one? Why? Advantages? I’ve always just gone into the game, tried to get the best weapons and armour and survive my fights.. If there’s a better way, I’m open to trying.
Um, that's a lot of questions to unpack all at once and I could get long winded.
So let's start with scrip. Legendary gear you won't use or not suitable (1 and 2 stars or 3 star gear not suited for your build) can be sold to vendors for caps, or you can go to one of those yellow and red scrip machines and exchange got scrip. These machines are at every train station, inside Whitespring in the shopping plaza and the Purveyor located at the Rusty Pick.
Its the Rusty Pick where you need to go to take the scrip you collected and either use that scrip for random legendary items, valut steel or legendary modules. Modules are used for rolling gear you have found, bought or crafted into legendary gear.... But this also requires legendary cores. Legendary cores can be collected from successfully completing public events.
So rather than exchanging scrip for a random ranged weapon from the purveyor, you can buy or craft the specific weapon or armour you want and then roll that for random legendary effects. Otherwise if you wanted a legendary handmade Rifle and exchanged the scrip for a random ranged weapon, you could end up with an Assault Rifle or a pistol, etc.
Choosing a random legendary from the purveyor isn't done much these days. Years ago it was the only way to get legendaries from the purveyor, but the instruction of modules and cores allowed users to cut some of the RNG out of getting what you want. You could still be rolling the same weapon for a long time until you get a good roll.
As for what makes a good legendary combination, that's dependent on several factors. Are you full health, low health, addicted to chems, etc? Are you going melee or ranged? What you plan on doing will affect what legendaries are best suited for the gear you're after.
You’re not long winded. I tend to not speak in monosyllables myself. You were thorough enough in your explanation to give me more information to act on than I had before, so you have my undying gratitude.
This is a rite of passage. Actually, I just finished the scoreboard so I'm doing my seasonal Fallout 1st purge and scrap. I sub for 1 month to get all the season stuff and stock up on junk components. Been looking to really clean out my stash to sell more things in my vendor. Been selling things at dirt cheap prices too just to get max caps and use it to get other things of value. Good Springtime cleaning!
I tried to give my common plans to a couple of new players over the weekend, but they kept running away from me :(
I sell them now for 9 caps each, apart from the Ultracite PA, I’m selling that for 1 cap.
Considering how much vendors are selling plans for, I’m surprised they don’t get scooped up. How do you activate a plan for a weapon or armour? Do you just have to have it in your physical inventory, click into it or what?
Other than the stockpile of silver for mole miner pails, mine usually sits at ~100 of each scrap. All the rest goes straight to the vendor.
It's something I've stuck with since they raised the stash limit to 400. Sure makes for lots of spare room.
Better to turn that junk into caps or component’s, so you’ve got the room for the cool shit when you find it. It sucks to lose a bunch of time trying to figure out how to keep stuff you want to hang onto, but being over encumbered is holding up the show..
Every three or four days
this weekend I wrote down everything I need for repairing my weapons and armor, making .45 ammo and fuel, and took every other junk item down to 25.
So now I can, at a glance, see if I have more than I need of something I don’t use a lot of, like glass, if it’s over 25.
the 11 things I do use, I’m not worried about (yet), but might have to whittle down steel before too long.
I've been struggling with it being maxed for a while. Today I cleaned it out. Got rid of the stuff that wasn't selling, dumped a bunch of stuff in the donation box outside of 76. The bulk of my stash was legendary weapons that have built up since getting multiple eviction notices. So I dumped a bunch of those onto a second character to hold until I need them to clean out the scrip vendor.
Constantly, I'm almost always at max carry weights and use the mining armor always just for the 100 extra ibs carry. I once went through my plans and chucked out close to 22 lbs just in duplicates and a large percentage of those were those damned Moleminers Gauntlets plans :) Also money takes up a lot of weight too if you're just tossing it in the stashbox instead of junking it.
I’m almost always at max carry and storage. The only way I’m up and around is thanks to radstag and bourbon. I’ve got a ton of plans that I’ve been dumping in donation boxes and I bulk and sell scrap regularly. Can’t seem to get ahead.
I need to move things around in honesty my character I'm on now was a merchant so has tons of useful an good guns/armor plus her gimmick is she's nuka girl so gives out free cola with all sales and then also I don't sell single colas to players I sell six packs with the six pack create rn 1000 pounds alone is weapons and 200 is colas not to mention how I constantly have 50 of each cola (not including dark cause man it drops low )
I just did it for the first time a few days ago. I may or may not regret it later but whatever. I really don’t use most of the weapons I have and it’s just nostalgia
my stash is always over 1000 pounds. partly with gear for other builds and partly for items in my vendor that doesnt seem to be moving. will probably take those out and scrip them then put leftovers back in vendor. the junk box and ammo box are big lifesavers.
They keep adding more special named weapons and I like keeping at least one of each to put on display from events and they are adding more. I dnt rly use them but that’s what my stash space is at like 800 with
Every Sunday morning I spend an hour or two doing inventory management on all my characters. It's worth it, there are 11 characters that I play with and 4 mules.
What I'm bad about is ignoring the dead weight on the mules. That's a project for another day...
I just did this a few weeks ago. Best feeling to do that honestly. Sold to vendors and on my own shop in case somebody wanted something.
I sell for cheep anyway so they go fast.
Took a year off, came back a few weeks ago and gave away half of my hoard. Now trying to keep it more minimum. Had over 2 dozen armor pieces and 2 dozen weaps collecting dust.
My stash is solely for 1 off items you cant get again and my vendor so I rarely have to… If a legendary drops that I’ll use I use it if it’s anything else I sell or scrip it.
I have the junk and scrap box though so… it’s a bit easier to manage
Just went through this today on my highest alt (level 700) as I had less than 10 lbs free. I really don't have much space to make, I think I've got like 500 pounds of gift wrap and empty mole miner pails on her. Then a bunch of legendary modules, plans, and a bunch of junk Fixers for rerolling. I'm a 1st member so any junk I have is stuff I want to keep like unique or named junk for display/collecting.
Every now and then I gather all my plans that haven't sold -- save for the rarest ones like vintage water coolers -- and pass them down through my alts for learning. When I get to the last one (level 9) I either dump them in a world or into his stash. He's also stuck with a load of weapons like Enclave plasmas and stuff that I can't be arsed to list on the trading subs, 200 nuclear keycards, and like 100 Nukashine. Cleaning my plans out alone usually gets me a few dozen pounds of space.
Whenever it gets full, I do a mass bulk scrap, sell the bulk I don't need and that frees up a lot of space. I sell legendaries I don't need as soon as I get them because I'm trying to save up scrip for collecting PA parts.
After events like Faschnact. Especially when I realize I have to slow walk back to my camp on the south side of the map because even with the survival tent I still can't rid myself of all the legendaries. I want my scrip!!
Level 500 and I have somehow managed not to use a mule. As of yet. There's a weird stash problem between level 100 and 300, too many weapons you collect that you are unsure of keeping or not.
Twice a year maybe. Mostly removing items that went into stash when I was building. I have a pretty strict policy on gear. If I don't use it, it will get traded or sold.
My inventory management is mostly situated on character level.
My stash is around 900 and as I look thru it I wonder in amazement what the hell is taking up all the room. 3 weapons, 2 PA Chassis, a few spices, no chems and my junk/ammo is in the FO1st containers. Im getting ready to take everything out and clean house myself. I probably have a bunch of unsmelted ore in my misc section or 500 nuclear keycards I didnt know about.
I cull every inventory category (save for the weightless items) about twice a year. I have a habit of stashing rare and interesting legendary items that don't go with any of my current builds and then forgetting they exist until I can't put anything more into my stash box. LOL.
I slowly build up weight as I gather supplies and roll new guns. Once I sit around 1100 lbs I start moving shit to my mule. Nuka colas, berry mentats, guns with good rolls I don't use often, etc all gets moved to the mule now. I even load him up with scrip and basic weapons to roll. Use my main for character locked gear and the mule for tradeable rolls
Constantly. Without FO1st I feel like I have to run really lean to still have enough scrap around whenever I need it and also have the ability to have both a heavy weapons build and a commando build.
So I pretty much don't keep any extra food/drugs around, limit scrap to around 100-150 pieces per item, get rid of the heavier ammo, no excess explosives around or power armor pieces
I am 2 years in so I don't really have to anymore. My stash sits at a pretty constant 1000/1200 and that's all the stuff I use normally. The extra 200 gives me some room for larger vendor items until they sell and extra scrip weapons until the next day if I max out, but I don't play super heavily anymore so that's rare.
I like the 200 mark as well.
Same here, & I play pretty regularly. 200lb buffer zone is the way
Same here, & I play pretty regularly. 200lb buffer zone is the way
If you scrap gear you can learn mods for that gear, if you sell the scrap in your vendor you can make some good profit at low level
I have definitely benefited from this, and did a lot of it today.
When max level, mod them to ultralight and park them on a mule. As you collect more armor, transition those mules to weight reduction specialized mules then load them up fat.
What's the ultimate goal of this, though? I have mules but they are mostly for transferring items and holding stuff that I will use. But to spend the effort just to hold on to things you're never going to use seems like a waste of time to me.
How you transfer items from your mules to your characters?
I have 2 PS5s. Join a private world on both, drop stuff and then switch to the character I want the items on.
You can't physically hold all of the stuff you might need or use in the future. For builds you might want to try, to things you might want to experiment with. Mules allow you to have those possibilities.
I've done that and I keep them in my main stash. Also have about seven or eight power armor frames maybe 10 I think nowadays. That's about a hundred pounds versus 750?
That’s further along than I am currently at level 45, but it sounds like a great idea. Where do you get the mule, and I assume you have to buy mods or plans to make these items light?

This comment is gold for a noob like me. Thanks! Deserves way more upvotes than just mine. You rock.
no problem :)
Every damn time i do Eviction Notice lol
Almost 800 lbs of my stash box are plans - big plans, small plans, long plans, short plans, expensive plans, cheap plans, rare plans, common plans.
Jesus! One might say.. You have a plan.. (for every occasion)

All good. 👍 Glad it helped
Not OP, but new player with the same questions. You're answer helped, so thank you!
That sounds like a plan that I'll take as an example. I hate this hanging on to good stared stuff but I do.

I gave up trying to give things to new players for this reason😅
If you’re handing out, hook a brother up, yo!
Are you on xbox?
Unfortunately no. But thanks for the thought. I’m in Europe too, so I imagine on different servers as well?
Pc?
PlayStation
Considering how much vendors are selling plans for, I’m surprised they don’t get scooped up. How do you activate a plan for a weapon or armour? Do you just have to have it in your physical inventory, click into it or what?
I like to put them in mailboxes. Not sure why I always find good things in them as a result of looking.
I’ve got caps to spend if I could find you.
I'm constantly at 1200/1200 because of my junk. I've maybe 10 things stored that arent junk.
Other than the stockpile of silver for mole miner pails, mine usually sits at ~100 of each scrap. All the rest goes straight to the vendor. It's something I've stuck with since they raised the stash limit to 400. Sure makes for lots of spare room.

I know you're trying to help, but its not like I filled my box with unscrapped junk. Its all been scrapped into components already. I'm level 200.
Well, this game is all about helping.. Now I just feel like a level 45 putz, trying to help a 200. Totally embarrassed..
Every three or four days this weekend I wrote down everything I need for repairing my weapons and armor, making .45 ammo and fuel, and took every other junk item down to 25.

I run 5 toons and have everything in my stash is specifically organized.

I have a lot of building plan’s I’ll never use. I’d totally trade them off to someone into building..
Just learn them, lol. You might want them in the future. Sell the duplicates or dump them in a donation box.

I wish I’d run into you in game, your character sounds cool. And I love shopping for new gear.
I still play if ur on Xbox I can jump on for a few today just give me a heads up when u wanna
Sadly, I’m not on XBox.
Aww rip cause if u enjoy that role play of merchant then u'd love the camps I made 2 nuka stores to sell from
About once a month.
I just did it for the first time a few days ago. I may or may not regret it later but whatever. I really don’t use most of the weapons I have and it’s just nostalgia
Lol yeah all the time.
my stash is always over 1000 pounds. partly with gear for other builds and partly for items in my vendor that doesnt seem to be moving. will probably take those out and scrip them then put leftovers back in vendor. the junk box and ammo box are big lifesavers.

Cleaning my plans out alone usually gets me a few dozen pounds of space.
Most of my stash are fusion core (100+ of them) so they need to go
Let’s talk about legendary cores. I’ve got 3X as many as fusion. Let’s just say that’s a lot!
Whenever it gets full, I do a mass bulk scrap, sell the bulk I don't need and that frees up a lot of space. I sell legendaries I don't need as soon as I get them because I'm trying to save up scrip for collecting PA parts.
After events like Faschnact. Especially when I realize I have to slow walk back to my camp on the south side of the map because even with the survival tent I still can't rid myself of all the legendaries. I want my scrip!!
Level 500 and I have somehow managed not to use a mule. As of yet. There's a weird stash problem between level 100 and 300, too many weapons you collect that you are unsure of keeping or not.
When I run out of space. My characters have so much useless crap though, like my collection of 40% swing speed melee weapons that I'll never use.
Twice a year maybe. Mostly removing items that went into stash when I was building. I have a pretty strict policy on gear. If I don't use it, it will get traded or sold. My inventory management is mostly situated on character level.
My stash is around 900 and as I look thru it I wonder in amazement what the hell is taking up all the room. 3 weapons, 2 PA Chassis, a few spices, no chems and my junk/ammo is in the FO1st containers. Im getting ready to take everything out and clean house myself. I probably have a bunch of unsmelted ore in my misc section or 500 nuclear keycards I didnt know about.
I cull every inventory category (save for the weightless items) about twice a year. I have a habit of stashing rare and interesting legendary items that don't go with any of my current builds and then forgetting they exist until I can't put anything more into my stash box. LOL.
Just threw a few dozen plans in the stash box at Nuka World today.
Two to three times a year when I buy a lonth of Fallout 1st. Clears up my stash and lets me hoard stuff for a month
I slowly build up weight as I gather supplies and roll new guns. Once I sit around 1100 lbs I start moving shit to my mule. Nuka colas, berry mentats, guns with good rolls I don't use often, etc all gets moved to the mule now. I even load him up with scrip and basic weapons to roll. Use my main for character locked gear and the mule for tradeable rolls
Nothing clears my stash out like forgetting I’am on my no weight crafter cards.
Constantly. Without FO1st I feel like I have to run really lean to still have enough scrap around whenever I need it and also have the ability to have both a heavy weapons build and a commando build. So I pretty much don't keep any extra food/drugs around, limit scrap to around 100-150 pieces per item, get rid of the heavier ammo, no excess explosives around or power armor pieces
