Caps are the lifeblood of the Fallout 76 economy. Whether you're buying plans, ammo, or that sweet legendary weapon you've been eyeing, you always need more fallout 76 caps. While there are many ways to earn caps in Appalachia, one of the most efficient, albeit slightly unconventional, methods involves a fearsome creature known as the Grafton Monster.

The Grafton Monster, with its imposing size and fearsome claws, is a formidable opponent, but also a surprisingly reliable source of caps, particularly if you know how to exploit its respawn rate and loot table.

Here's how to turn the Grafton Monster into your personal cap printing machine:

1. Know Your Grafton Monster Locations: Grafton Monsters have a few fixed spawn locations in Fallout 76. Check these locations frequently:

   • Grafton: As the name suggests, Grafton is a prime spot. Check around the city, especially near the dam and the ruined buildings.

   • Charleston Trainyard: This is another consistent spawn location. Search the train cars and the surrounding area.

   • Helvetia: Occasionally, a Grafton Monster will appear near Helvetia, especially during the Fasnacht event (though it's not guaranteed outside of the event).

2. Gear Up for the Hunt: While not the toughest enemy in the game, the Grafton Monster can still pack a punch. Bring a decent weapon (rifles, shotguns, or melee weapons work well), some stimpaks, and armor with reasonable damage resistance. Energy weapons are effective due to the Grafton Monster's limited energy resistance.

3. The Farming Technique: Once you locate a Grafton Monster, take it down. Loot the corpse thoroughly. Grafton Monsters drop a variety of items, including:

   • Caps: They usually carry a decent amount of caps on their person.

   • Junk: Scrap the junk for valuable components like steel, which can be sold to vendors for more caps.

   • Sometimes rare plans: This is not consistent, but something to look out for.

4. Server Hop for Maximum Efficiency: This is the key to maximizing your cap gains. After looting the Grafton Monster, switch to a different Fallout 76 server. This will reset the world, and the Grafton Monster should respawn in its designated location. Repeat the process as many times as you like.

5. Vendor Runs: Once your inventory is full of loot, head to the nearest train station vendor or your own camp vendor and sell your wares. Prioritize selling valuable junk items and any excess ammo or aid items you don't need.

Things to Consider:

• Other Players: Be aware that other players may be farming the same locations. If you encounter someone else, you can either team up or find another server.

• Carry Weight: Manage your carry weight effectively. Use perks like "Pack Rat" to reduce the weight of junk items.

• Alternative Methods: While Grafton Monster farming can be lucrative, don't neglect other cap-generating activities like completing daily quests and events.

• Consider Buying Caps: If you're short on time or just want a quick boost, you can buy fallout 76 caps from third-party websites. However, be cautious when doing so and only use reputable sources.

By following these tips, you can transform the fearsome Grafton Monster into a reliable source of income and amass a fortune of fallout 76 caps. Happy hunting!
