2. Mining Gold Ore
Another method involves mining Gold Ore and processing it into Gold Scrap. To do this:
• Find Gold Ore at locations such as Spruce Knob, Abandoned Bog Town, Beckley Mine Exhibit, Billings Homestead, Dolly Sods Campground, and Hemlock Holes Maintenance.

Therefore, farming Gold Scrap can contribute to a player's overall wealth in the game.
3. Killing Honey Beasts
Honey Beasts are creatures that can drop Gold Scrap when killed. They typically yield 2 Gold Scraps per kill, making them a viable option for farming.
Uses of Gold Scrap
Gold Scrap is used in crafting certain items, such as energy weapons and serums. It is also required for crafting Mole Miner Pails during the Treasure Hunt event. Additionally, Gold Scrap can be sold to vendors, providing a means to earn caps.
Tips for Farming Gold Scrap
• Tagging Gold in Pip-Boy: To make farming easier, tag Gold Scrap in your Pip-Boy by holding a gold item, navigating to the junk section, and selecting the Component View to tag Gold.
• Server Hopping: If the vendor at Whitespring Mall doesn't have gold items, switch servers to reset their inventory.
