Fallout 76 Treasure Hunter Event 2024 - Full Reward List & Best Farm Locations (2024)

The Hunt for the Treasure Hunter is a series of limited-time Fallout 76 events. During the event, you can hunt down Treasure Hunter Mole Miners all around Appalachia to claim their loot for yourself.

1. Treasure Hunter Event 2023

The next Treasure Hunter Events will run from July 27 until July 31, 2023, and from September 21 until September 25, 2023.

2. Treasure Hunter Mole Miners

During the Hunt for the Treasure Hunter Event, Treasure Hunter Mole Miners have a chance to spawn at locations any enemy naturally spawns. This means, that you don’t need to go to specific Mole Miner spawn locations. They can’t spawn inside of instances or interior cells (e.g. the Valley Galleria) and also not during events, quests, etc. that feature scripted enemy waves.

Treasure Hunter Mole Miners will always spawn as legendary with a 55% chance to be a 1-star, a 40% chance to be a 2-star, and a 5% chance to be 3-star legendary enemy. This means on average every 200th Treasure Hunter Mole Miner will be a 3-star.

They are wearing big backpacks with a sound machine strapped to them. This machine is emitting a static sound, so you’ll be able to hear them. Also, they will always flee from combat so don’t be surprised when they’re running away from you.

Treasure Hunter Mole Miners drop Mole Miner Pails. These Pails have a chance to contain a variety of Treasure Hunt Items including several outfits, weapons, and plans.

3. Best Treasure Hunter Mole Miner Locations

YouTuber Naked Vault Dweller spent many hours on the PTS in early 2021 to find the best Treasure Hunter Mole Miner Spawn Locations. He came up with a list of more than 50 locations spread over five regions.

Additionally, he created a map containing five Treasure Hunter Mole Miner farm routes (according to NVD, Toxic Valley doesn’t offer enough spawns so it isn’t worth farming Treasure Hunters there). In case you want to farm one region over and over, just server-hop when you’ve done with the route and start again.

4. Dropped Mole Miner Pails

The Mole Miner Pails drop in three different tiers: Dusty Mole Miner Pail (Low), Mole Miner Pail (Medium), and Ornate Mole Miner Pail (High). The higher quality the Pail, the better are your chances to get a rare Treasure Hunter Item.

According to the Treasure Hunt Datamining Spreadsheet by GilPo!, Ornate Mole Miner Pails have a 10% and Mole Miner Pails have a 27% drop chance.

Mole Miner Pails dropped by Treasure Hunter Mole Miners contain these items:

5. Crafted Mole Miner Pails

Mole Miner Pails can also be crafted. These Crafted Mole Miner Pails have a higher chance to contain a Treasure Hunt Item than the Pails dropped by Mole Miners.

Crafted Mole Miner Pails contain these items_

5.1 How to Craft Mole Miner Pails

Mole Miner Pails can be crafted at a Tinker’s Workbench in the ‘Chests’ section. Note that the Super Duper and Chemist perk cards won’t work when crafting Holiday gifts.

Similar to Gift Wrap during the Holiday Scorched Event Empty Pails can be bought from Vendor Bots, Grahm, and also Scavenger Traders. Empty Dusty Mole Miner Pail, Empty Mole Miner Pail, and Empty Ornate Mole Miner Pail are listed in the ‘Misc’ section.

Each vendor sells one of each Pail. Their inventory resets when you’re server-hopping. When the event ends, they stop selling it.

The cheapest prices you can get Empty Pails for are:

• Empty Dusty Mole Miner Pail: 219 Caps
• Empty Mole Miner Pail: 656 Caps
• Ornate Mole Miner Pail: 1.925 Caps

You’ll get the cheapest prices with Charisma 25. To reach 25 you can e.g. use Level 3 Hard Bargain (+9 CHR), Grape Mentats (+5 CHR), the perk Magnetic Personality and/or join a Roleplay Team.

Here are some more tips for buying Empty Pails:

• In case you want to spend a lot of caps, visit the faction vendors at the Whitespring Resort are your place to go. After you’ve bought all Empty Pails, server-hop, buy again,…
• Before buying Empty Pails, use up all the caps at a vendor by selling stuff. When buying Empty Pails, some caps will go back into the pool.

5.2 Which Mole Miner Pail Should I Craft?

You get the most out of your caps when buying the Empty Mole Miner Pail and crafting medium Mole Miner Pails. The Empty Mole Miner Pail is 66% cheaper than the Empty Ornate Mole Miner Pail whereas the chance to get a Treasure Hunt Item is just 33% less.

6. New Treasure Hunter Rewards 2022
