Buying an Empty Ornate Mole Miner Pail from the Responders Vendor Bot in Whitespring Mall in Fallout 76

The best location to buy Empty Mole Miner Pails in Fallout 76 is the Whitespring Resort since many faction vendors are here. Otherwise, you can buy them from Grahm, any Scavenger Trader, or any Vendor Bot in the game. Each vendor will only have one Mole Miner Pail variant in their inventory. Luckily, however, the inventory of these NPCs will reset by server shopping, making it super easy to buy all the Empty Mole Miner Pails you need for crafting during the event.

Here is the cost for each Empty Mole Miner Pail variant:

  • Empty Dusty Mole Miner Pail: 219 Caps
  • Empty Mole Miner Pail: 646 Caps
