Out of respect for the Game Devs and their hard work in writing and creating the storyline, this guide will not go into detail on the questline, nor have many spoilers in it. It will cover a general walk-through, any tips or gear needed, as well as the quest rewards.
You will need:
Food and Chem buffs for SPECIAL checks during conversations with NPCs.
Lists of buffs that boost each Special can be found here.
Turn off any Quests or Pip-Boy dailys that you do not need active. Some parts of the quest use map markers and it can be easy to get confused.
At some point, the quest splits in two different directions. Make a note of the name of one of the quests and turn it off in your Pip-Boy while you complete the other quest. You can go back into your Pip-Boy and make the other quest active again when you are ready.

Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess
I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76.
I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.
So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.
All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)
Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the wasteland.
