Fallout 76: Finding Your Way in Appalachia: The Definitive Fallout 76 Quest Order Guide

Welcome fellow Vault Dwellers,
this is a tweaked and added upon version of u/SuperPippo5111’s Finding Your Way in Appalachia: The Definitive Fallout 76 Quest Order Guide he made a while ago.
I’m planning to update this guide when I can/feel like and, hopefully, eventually include every quest that’s currently part of the game and added in future.
If you have any complaints or something that I should add to the guide, please comment down below.

Some general advice for new players:
Whenever you enter an area it’s possible that different repeatable events or daily challenges trigger. Feel free to do them if you like. They will give XP, loot, and usually points for the scoreboard.

If you want to level up quicker try to increase your intelligence as much as possible (each point of intelligence gives +2.072% XP). Joining a casual team grants up to +4 intelligence. There’s also a perk under charisma called “Inspirational” that can give you +15% XP at rank 3.

Here[nukesdragons.com] you can plan your build and experiment with different card combinations. In this guide, I won’t give you any premade build. You can experiment with your build in the beginning as it is possible to completely respec as soon as you reach level 20. There are many guides on Reddit and YT for builds if you’re looking for one. I highly recommend AngryTurtle.

If you level up, you can take perks from a different category than the stat you just upgraded (f. ex. I can upgrade my endurance but still take a perk from perception)

If you dislike the Power Armor HUD, you can turn it off in the settings menu

In the pause menu you can find daily and weekly challenges which grant points for your season pass level. Don’t stress too much about those when you’re just starting out and do them only if they don’t require you to go out of your way too much. Later it will become easier to clear those challenges efficiently.

If your screen gets too crowded with quests, then you can turn off the ones that are not important by going to the data tab in your pip-boy and unselecting the quests.

Here is a post by u/Descendent1784 with some more useful tips and another one by u/snsnn123.

Disclaimer:
This is just a recommended quest order for full immersion and is not focused on getting you to the endgame as fast as possible. Keep in mind that the optimal quest order in Fallout 76 can vary depending on the player’s preferences and objectives.
There is no one “correct” quest order, as some players prefer to complete the main storyline first, while others prefer to explore the world and complete side quests along the way. This is just my take on it.

Also, you don’t need to always stick with the quest order strictly. If you see an event on the map or other activities you’d like to participate in then by all means do whatever you like. You can always come back to the quests at a later stage.

Sometimes in notes I will mention that there is a unique gear tied to a quest, note that the level of the unique gear will vary with the current level of the player character at the time of quest completion. Because this is the only chance a unique gear can be obtained, it may be desirable to defer completing this quest until reaching level 50.

When you see an (S) or next to a quest this will mean that this quest is a side quest aka this doesn’t need to be done right now it can be done whenever you feel like doing it as it shouldn’t affect the main story in any way I have however put them in places I find as natural stopping points for these quests like when you’d naturally stumble upon them for example.

Key

Bullet Points • – These are representative of major task changes if an entry does not have one chances are it’s because the task is in the general vicinity of your location and you can do them then and there.

(1/X) – Quest Stages, These are representative of the current stage of the quest you are on and can be found at the end of each line if applicable. I will add exact details later on.

(Optional) – Optional quest that you don’t need to do but are worth doing for extra rewards or story.

(S) – Side quests have nothing to do with the main story for the most part but offer good rewards

(A) – Ally quests Two allies, Sofia Daguerre and Beckett, offer unique questlines and an overarching story, at the end of which they can be romanced if one decides to pursue that option. This provides the player with a temporary XP boost, Lover’s Embrace, upon sleeping in a bed with the romanced ally nearby. The other three allies (the raider punk, settler forager, and settler wanderer) only offer radiant quests.

(D) – Daily quests, offer the same quest every from when you did it the last time, can offer unique rewards

(E) – Expeditions, Expeditions is a PvE game mode of repeatable missions in Fallout 76. The mode takes players to explore and travel outside of Appalachia, and encounter NPCs and enemies along the way.

(R) – Repeatable Quests, These quests can be played as frequently as desired.

  Take the highway south and head to Charleston

• (S) Earth Mover[fallout.fandom.com]

• (S) Find Overseer’s journal, entry 6[fallout.fandom.com] (Personal Matters[fallout.fandom.com])

  You will very likely not have enough Black Titanium and Nuclear Material. Black Titanium can be obtained by scrapping Miner Suit Scrap dropped by Mole Miners, and Nuclear Material by scraping the red Volatile Materials Boxes that are laying around in many locations around the Ash Heap.

Go to “Riverside Manor”

  Obtain the sword, attach the “Swing Analyzer”, and kill 6 different creatures.
  Tip: Keep this sword in one of your quick-slots and just kill enemies with it as you discover a new area with different enemies. The sword just needs to deal the killing blow.

  (Optional) Kill unruly golfer feral ghouls at Whitespring [fallout.fandom.com]

  (Optional) Collect and hold Whitespring holotapes [fallout.fandom.com]

• Responders Reborn [fallout.fandom.com]
  Tip: If you’re unlucky you will get sent to Cranberry Bog in this quest as it’s a random location. In that case, you can either decline and change the server to get a different location, fast travel nearby “Watoga Emergency Services” using someone’s camp or finish the quest at a later stage.

  Info: Completing this quest unlocks Expeditions that are not necessarily meant to be completed at your current level so you can skip on those for now except if you really want to see the new locations I have suggested below a place/time where each expedition could make sense this is at stage 26 and 28 but these can really be done at any time. Despite the difficulty, there is no timer on those missions so you can take your time exploring.

• Go to “Whitespring Station”
  17. Rose

• Tune into Top of the World Radio Signal
• Go to “Top of the World”

  Collect Overseer’s Log – Top of the World [fallout.fandom.com]

  Note: Unique Apparel Eye of Ra [fallout.fandom.com]
  19. Wastelanders

• The New Arrivals[fallout.fandom.com] (3/4)
  At this point the quest splits off into needing to meet the leaders of the settlers and raiders hence why we waited this long as meeting rose would make sense as the overseer suggests you talk to her to help with meeting the raiders. You can do these next two quests in what order you want
• Here to Stay [fallout.fandom.com]
• Strange Bedfellows [fallout.fandom.com]
• The New Arrivals[fallout.fandom.com] (4/4)
• Overseer, Overseen [fallout.fandom.com]
  With Overseer, Overseen[fallout.fandom.com] completed you will now have to side with either the settlers or raiders which will lock you out of rewards from the other side, make sure you want to walk the side you choose as there is no going back from this after reach a certain point, the lockout quests are called Siding with Foundation[fallout.fandom.com] or Crater[fallout.fandom.com] respectively

  It is suggested to do all possible faction quests without locking yourself out from the other route by passing Siding With… on either side to get yourself maximum rewards such as the Chinese stealth armor[fallout.fandom.com] with the settler’s side of quests.

  It’s at this point that I suggest you leave this questline for now and continue the main story till the end after Event: Scorched Earth[fallout.fandom.com] or at the very least till we get to Chapter 6 as in my mind you’d want to deal with the impending 2nd apocalypse before that could befall anyone at anytime than well anything else. At which point we will pick the quest line back up.

• The Missing Link[fallout.fandom.com] (3/3)
• Early Warnings [fallout.fandom.com]

• (S) Breaking Radio Silence[fallout.fandom.com]
• Welcome to the Neighbourhood [fallout.fandom.com]

• (S) Death from Above![fallout.fandom.com]
• Event: Scorched Earth [fallout.fandom.com]

Congrats! You beat the main story line, but don’t you worry there’s plenty left to go first we’ll be finishing up on what’s left of the wastelanders questline.

• (S) Something Sentimental[fallout.fandom.com]
  Note: This quest requires you to complete Event: A Colossal Problem[fallout.fandom.com] which will be very difficult alone, so it’s suggested you do this on a public server for help from others but as it is a side quest it is not essential to complete.

  (Optional) Event: A Colossal Problem [fallout.fandom.com]

  So now it’s time to continue the wastelanders main quest hold on because this is important it might be a bit of reading though. As mentioned before you will need to side with one of the major factions either the settlers or raiders and this effects the rewards you will get at the end of the day and the amount of reputation you get with them you can safely complete their first 3 quests on the settler side that is up to Duty Calls[fallout.fandom.com] and on the raider side that is up to The Ol’ Weston Shuffle[fallout.fandom.com] at which point you will need to start either Siding with Foundation[fallout.fandom.com] or Siding with Crater[fallout.fandom.com] which will lock you into said faction route I will continue assuming that you haven’t started either of the factions questlines.

  23a. Settlers

• Trade Secrets[fallout.fandom.com]

  23c. Secret Service

  At this point the quests converge to the same last quest

• Secrets Revealed [fallout.fandom.com]
  After you have allied with a faction you will now be set to finish the questline for said faction with the quest Secrets Revealed[fallout.fandom.com] at which point you will need to decide where the bullion will go

  Give 500 bullion to the allied faction as promised, resulting in a massive reputation boost with the allied faction.

  Give 250 bullion to each faction, resulting in a minor reputation boost with each faction.

  Keep all 1000 bullion, resulting in a medium reputation loss with the allied faction.

  After this point your reputation will either go up or down depending on your choices during the quests but there are other ways to improve it such a doing daily quests for each faction such as the two quests below, but it is worth knowing that you can still max out both faction reputations regardless of who you sided with during the quests.

  (D) Daily: Vital Equipment[fallout.fandom.com] (Settler)

  (D) Daily: Retirement Plan[fallout.fandom.com] (Raider)

  24. Allies

  24a. Beckett

The Pitt introduces the Expeditions feature to the game; Expeditions is a PvE game mode in Fallout 76. The mode takes players to explore and travel outside of Appalachia, and encounter NPCs and enemies along the way.

Expeditions are 10-20 minute repeatable missions with light lore in locations outside Appalachia. They are accessed via the world map after completing Responders Reborn[fallout.fandom.com]. It goes without saying that these quests are not essential to completion, but I have put them in here as I personally deem them important to the story.

  28. Once in a Blue Moon

  Once in a Blue Moon is a series of seven non-repeatable quests that can be completed once per day until all of them are done. So, I will treat them here as normal quests but know once you complete one you will need to wait 24 hours to start the next.
