Overview
Fastest way possible to get to “Ally Reputation” with either Settlers or Raiders.
How to get reputation
I haven’t seen this posted before and I understand to some of you this may be common knowledge but I see quite a few people complaining about how slow the grind is and I just wanted to share my method of completing dailies to maximise Reputation for both factions.
The Importance of Communication / Retirement Plan
This alternating daily can be gained from Wren or Rocksy in Crater respectively and completed every day. When completing Retirement Plan you should convince the traitor to return to Crater for extra rep. It’s a strength 8 speech check I believe. Return for Rep and Treasury Notes.
Vital Equipment
This is a foundation daily quest but you can use it to acquire Raider Rep by letting the raider thief keep the stolen equipment.
Photo Opportunity
Davenport at the Overseers Home will ask you to photograph either Crater or Foundation. Choose either Foundation or Crater but instead of returning to Davenport, take the pictures to Kiyomi or Ward at Crater or Foundation. Give away the pictures for free to maximise reputation. Once done, go back to Davenport to p*ss him off but get your 3 treasury notes anyway.
Ohio River Adventure
Once you complete a small mission for the dude at the back of this place, you’ll be able to return daily to Blackeye and give her Mirelurk meat. This rewards raider rep!
Random Encounters
If you have done your daily quests for the day, you can always farm random encounters. Random encounters are scattered all across the Appalachia where you have to help either Settlers or Raiders kill enemies. These enemies differ in difficulty depending on where you are on the map. All blue markers on the map below have a chance of being a random encounter. Keep in mind that sometimes the random encounter is between enemies rather than Settlers or Raiders.
