If you’ve been playing Fallout 76 for a while, you probably know that Legendary Modules are basically the gateway to rolling your own powerful gear. Whether you're aiming for that perfect shotgun or trying to fine-tune your power armor, you’ll need a steady supply of these things. They’re not hard to understand, but getting them consistently takes a bit of planning. Here’s a clear and friendly breakdown of the methods most players rely on, along with a few personal notes from farming them myself.

What Legendary Modules Are and Why You Need Them

Legendary Modules are crafting components used at a workbench to roll new legendary gear or reroll the effects on an existing piece. They come from one place: Purveyor Murmrgh, the legendary vendor hanging out at The Rusty Pick in the Ash Heap. She’s a bit quirky, but she’s always there and always ready to take your hard-earned currency.

The challenge isn’t finding her. It’s keeping enough Legendary Scrip on hand to buy modules regularly. If you’re like me and enjoy experimenting with different builds, you’ll burn through modules faster than you expect.

Efficient Ways to Earn Legendary Scrip

The most straightforward method is to scrap extra legendary gear at any Legendary Exchange Machine. You'll find these machines at train stations all across Appalachia. Every time you scrap a legendary weapon or armor piece, you get a certain amount of Scrip. Since there’s a daily Scrip cap, the real trick is filling that cap as often as possible.

Public events are your best friend here. Eviction Notice, Moonshine Jamboree, and Guided Meditation are great for farming legendaries because they spawn waves of enemies that often drop gear. Most of the time, I walk away with enough legendary pieces to fill my cap in one or two events. If you play during busy hours, you’ll usually find groups running these events back-to-back.

Daily Ops are also solid. Even if the rewards aren’t always exciting, they consistently hand out legendary gear that can be scrapped for Scrip. Plus, they don’t take long once you learn the layout and enemy types.

The Best Times to Visit the Purveyor

Once your Scrip cap is full, head over to Murmrgh to buy Legendary Modules. She never runs out, and the cost doesn’t change, so there’s no trick to buying them. However, I’d recommend picking up several at a time so you’re not constantly making the trip.

One thing I’ve learned is that it helps to keep a stash of random gear to test rolls on. That way, when you buy modules, you immediately have something to work with instead of letting them sit. It keeps the pace of trying new builds fun instead of feeling like a grind.

Using Modules Wisely

Legendary Modules can disappear fast if you craft without a plan. Before you start spending them, focus on one or two items you really want to improve. For example, if your main build is commando-based, stick to rifles first. If you’re running PA builds, choose one armor set to perfect before jumping to the next.

For many new players, it’s tempting to keep rolling endlessly, hoping for a perfect god roll. Trust me, I’ve been there. The key is to set small goals. If you get a roll that’s good enough to comfortably run most end-game content, keep it for now. Save the min-maxing for later once your module supply is steady.

By the way, some players like to hold on to certain Fallout 76 items specifically for rerolling projects. Keeping a small stash like this helps you plan ahead and keeps your workbench sessions organized.

Should You Buy Crafting Materials?

Most of the time, you’ll gather all the crafting materials you need for rolling gear just by playing normally. But some players prefer speeding things up by trading or buying certain components from community markets. If you go this route, just stay aware of the prices and avoid overspending. Legendary crafting can already be expensive in terms of time and materials.

In some discussions, people mention services like U4GM when talking about resource convenience, but relying on optional shortcuts is always a personal choice. Even when mentioned in the community, they’re not required for anything here; you can farm everything just by playing consistently.

Stocking Up on Gear to Scrap

A simple but often overlooked method is regularly running through areas filled with mid-level enemies. West Tek is famous for this because super mutants drop loot constantly, and they respawn quickly. You can fill your inventory in minutes. While not every drop will be legendary, enough will pop up over time to contribute a steady amount toward your daily Scrip cap.

Another great trick: When you’re doing events with other players, equip perks that increase your carry weight so you can haul more loot before breaking to scrap. Nothing kills momentum faster than having to stop mid-run because you're overweight with junk gear.

Some players like to compare the value of farming versus buying gear from the Fallout 76 items shop, especially when they’re looking for fashion or utility items. While that’s a different topic, it’s something that comes up naturally when managing inventory and deciding what to keep or scrap.

Small Tips That Make Farming Easier

Here are a few personal tips that make the module grind feel smoother:

Stay near train stations whenever possible. Turning in gear the moment you hit weight limits keeps the pace relaxed.

Join public teams with the bonus set to Intelligence or Charisma. You’ll level faster and get better rewards over time.

Build a lightweight farming loadout. Movement speed perks save more time than you’d expect when hopping between events.

Play during peak hours if you want fast event chains. More players equal easier boss kills and quicker legendary drops.

Track your Scrip cap before you start farming so you don’t waste legendary items by hitting the limit unexpectedly.

Legendary Modules are basically the backbone of late-game crafting, and once you get into a rhythm, collecting them becomes second nature. Hang out at busy events, scrap everything that sparkles, and visit Murmrgh whenever your pockets get heavy. With a bit of routine, you’ll have more modules than you know what to do with.
