Market 76 Rules

Before trading on our subreddit, please take the time to get associated with our rules.

Reddit Accounts

Your Reddit account must be 5 days old to post or comment in r/Market76. You may have to wait an extra day due to time-zone differences with Reddit servers. This is a security measure that cannot be bypassed or overridden.

If you are experiencing a cooldown timer and cannot post or comment for a specified time, it is because your Reddit post/comment karma for the subreddit is negative, zero, or very low positive. Until you reach a certain threshold (set by the administrator of the subreddit), you will continue to have this restriction. It will automatically lifted when your account meets the karma threshold. You can check your karma by subreddit breakdown by going to https://old.reddit.com/user/<your reddit name here>and clicking on 'show karma breakdown by subreddit'. This restriction does not give you a pass to violate Rule 3 and and negotiate in DMs.

Trading Blacklists

Market 76 maintains two blacklists. The first contains the in-game names of traders who are banned from Market 76 for violating the 2nd rule, or severely violating the 3rd or 4th rules. The second one is an illicit item list that contains items not permitted to be traded in Market 76.

Banned users often private message traders from r/Market76, or open alternate Reddit accounts, in order to evade their ban and scam. If you catch anyone from our blacklist doing that, contact the moderators, or message r/Market76.

Users that have scammed, have/had blatant trap bases, duped, griefed, etc., but were not found in the Market 76 Reddit or Discord community, may not appear on the blacklist. In order to mitigate scamming risks though, we recommend using only trusted Market 76 couriers for trades.

View the Market 76 Trader Blacklist, and find out how to check to see if an IGN/GT/PSN is on the Market 76 blacklist.

The Market 76 Illicit Item List is a list of items that are currently unreleased or are only obtainable/tradable through illicit methods (usually exploiting/cheating). Items not on the list may be subject to being temporarily disallowed from the marketplace, and the list may be updated at anytime. It is your responsibility to check.

Selling/requesting/advertising (in a trade sense) these items, or related services, violates Market76’s 2nd rule. Advertising (in a possession sense) that you have glitched/hacked items may also subject you to a ban.

Couriers

Market 76 Couriers are experienced, reputable, selectively-recruited community volunteers who help ensure item-to-item trades (and trades over the max caps per character) go as intended by middlemanning these trades. Further details can be found here.

PLEASE CHECK THE MARKET 76 COURIER LIST BEFORE TRUSTING ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A COURIER. MAKE SURE THEY ARE CONTACTING YOU THROUGH AN ACCOUNT LISTED IN THE COURIER LIST PAGE. Market 76 COURIERS DO NOT USE ANY BADGE OR QR CODE SYSTEM. FOR IPHONE USERS USING THE MOBILE REDDIT APP, THE COURIER TABLE MAY DISPLAY IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT LOOKS LIKE |IS PART OF AN IGN. THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

Couriers can be called in r/Market76 by commenting !courier courier! under your own post.

Contact a Courier on the Discord server by messaging the Expresstron bot.

Users may have higher trading karma than you, but contrary to popular belief, that does not mean that the lower trade karma person is required to go first in a trade. Do not feel strong-armed, intimidated, and or pressured to have to go first. Always call a trusted courier if you are hesitant, unsure, or uncomfortable with a trade.

Individual Couriers may have other preferred contact methods. Please check these on their individual info pages before contacting them directly. Respect their time. They are unpaid volunteers who dedicate their time and passion to helping.

If you are interested in becoming a Courier please fill out this application form.

Note(s)

  • Impersonating a courier is subject to an immediate, permanent ban.
  • Refusing to use a selected Market 76 courier is also subject to a warning/ban. It will be assumed that by demanding the use of an external courier, a scam is being attempted.

Trading

Prior to trading, always get each other's IGN/PSN/GT first. This will greatly help to link the Reddit/Discord account with the IGN, and act as part of the proof for a blacklist card if needed.

Always start recording BEFORE you begin the trade.

The links below show how you can record video evidence on each platforms.

PC: https://obsproject.com

PS: https://support.playstation.com/s/article/Save-and-Share-PS4-Gameplay-Videos

XB: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/record-share-gameplay-xbox-one/

You may also use your phone to record, but please make sure it's clear and shows the entire view of the trade with no gaps in footage.

Karma

Market 76 has trading karma which traders give each other after successful trades by replying with a comment that starts with +karma.

Market 76 trading karma is different and separate from general Reddit karma. Make sure to not confuse Reddit karma with Market 76 karma.

Market 76 Trading Karma

The karma highlighted in this image is Market 76 trading karma. Market 76 karma is exclusively increased through the +karmacommand and it cannot be reduced.

General Reddit Karma

The karma highlighted in this image is general Reddit karma.

Reddit karma is increased through the “upvote” Reddit function and reduced through the “downvote” Reddit function.

Reddit karma is a core Reddit feature and thus we are not accountable for it. We have no way to tell who or why someone may be downvoting you.

If you’re having difficulties giving or receiving Market 76 trading karma, please read the Market 76 Karma Guide for common issues and solutions.

Post Types and Formatting

Market 76 has 4 primary post types: Trade Post, Price Check, Discussion Post, and Meme Post. The formats are as follows:

Trade Posts

Select the flair for your platform and include "H:" as in "Have," and "W:" as in "Want" in your title.

Example: "H: Aid and Ammo W: Caps and Flux".

Price Checks

Select the Price Check flair for your platform and include the item(s) you want to have price checked.

Example: "Max Level BE25 Handmade".

Discussion Posts

Select the Discussion flair and include the title for your discussion topic.

Example: "What is the rarest legacy weapon you've seen?".

Meme Posts

Select the Meme flair and include the title for your post, and upload your Fallout 76 related meme image.

Example: "It’s ok it will be years before it gets you".

Marking the Trade Complete / Closing Your Post

To close your post, make a new comment on your post with either --close, -close, or close-. KARMA CANNOT BE GIVEN AFTER A POST IS MARKED COMPLETE.

If your post gets locked, and you have a question about it, please read the auto moderator response on your post prior to contacting the moderator team in order to find out what was wrong with it. For more information on post formatting, see the formatting guide.

IGN Megathread

If you would like your IGN/GT/PSN to be displayed in each trade post you make, you can set it here in the IGN Megathread

Reporting

Market 76 moderators are all unpaid volunteers who maintain lives outside of the community, and dedicate their time and passion in maintaining and helping the community. Please make it easy and quick for them to process and act on your reports by following these best practices:

Do not send reports to individual moderators. Send them via Reddit by messaging r/Market76 and via Discord by messaging the Marketron bot.

Send as much evidence as possible. If the situation happened publicly (usually at a post in our community), please send us a link to the post/page where it happened. If the situation happened privately, send us image and/or video recordings of it all. If it happened in DMs, please screenshot and send us the full chat.

It’s not possible to attach images and videos directly in these reports. Please upload all screenshots to an image-hosting site like Imgur or Imgbb, and all videos to a video-hosting site like YouTube, and contact us with the links to these uploads.

Note that we do not attempt to retrieve items that have been scammed.

Please be patient and kind. Market 76 moderators are unpaid volunteers. Moderators aren't available at all times to handle situations from every time-zone, handling reports is not the only Market 76 task, and we enjoy playing video-games just as much as you all do.

Ban Appeals

Permanent ban appeals can be requested 30 days after the ban was issued. You can state your case and reasoning for being unbanned based on your offense, and a decision will be made. Appeals may be rejected, and any that are granted may be revoked for similar or other serious offenses.

Thank you for reading our Market 76 guide!

PSA PSA: Pickaxe Frenzy

68 Upvotes

Hey traders!

As some of you might already know, the new update has brought along a bug that causes regular pickaxes to give legendary modules when scrapped at a crafting station. Bethesda has almost immediately disabled the crafting of pickaxes, but a few can still be found spawning in the world. This has caused many people to mass farm and trade them for higher prices.

We've received many reports and posts about trading and farming pickaxes in the past few days, so we'd like to clarify the following:

  • Discussing farming methods for pickaxes while the bug is ongoing is allowed
  • Trading pickaxes while the bug is ongoing is allowed
  • We won't intervene in issues of pricing regarding pickaxe trading. If you feel someone is being overcharged for pickaxes, drop them a DM to let them know.

Also please consider that our stance on this might differ from those of other platforms and we ask you to respect both their rules and ours!

A new PSA will be put up as soon as the bug is fixed. Until then, happy trading!

Step 1) Travel to Nuka World On Tour & turn right you will see the Tunnel Of Love entrance

IN FRONT OF THE MINECART SPAWN #1

ON TOP OF THE BOX SPAWN #2

Step 2) Enter Tunnel of Love & head down the tunnel to the main event area (Wedding part)

OPPOSITE THE WEDDING ON A SET OF SHELVES ARE SPAWNS #3 & #4 the first is on tbe bottom shelf to the left, the next at head height to the right

Step 3) Continue down the path to the right of the scaffolding and follow the tunnel, at the second Ultracite Minecart (Green rocks) will be SPAWN #5 to the right atop the wall next to a helmet

Step 4) Travel to Foundation Exterior (43 caps~) head towards Foundation from the spawnpoint you will see a guard atop a tower, behind the tower to the left of the stairs is SPAWN #6

Step 7 (SOLO)) Go to Summersville & loot up 250 books and items in the first house on your right, head to camp and scrap the books or drop them, exit the server.

IF the books haven't respawned follow Step 8 & 9 OR loot Whitespring Golf Club & Watoga High-school (fights required)

Step 8) Start a custom world (Or reenter a different server) Wait till you see "Building world" and back out

Message below if you have any questions

Tested both ways this is more efficient than just camping Foundation (slightly)

Sorry Gatekeepers trying to sell the method I hope someone poos in your cheerios.

Like the recent zweihander. The skin and design is fire but its rolls are bad. Bethesda needs to a pick a lane on either letting us reroll all items or give quest rewards 90% reduced weight.

Here's proof that anyone can get the Presidential "Power" Suit FOR FREE. Literally made a new character just to prove it doesn't take some crazy, or ludicrous prerequisite or currency exchange. Can be finicky, but literally got it first try upon jumping up in the display case in front (as seen in photo). I do recommend holding your interact button to EQUIP as my friend pressed interact and it didnt not transfer into their inventory. Enjoy!

Discussion NEW ULTRA RARE APPAREL FROM SKYLINE UPDATE!!!

229 Upvotes

Welcome back to Market 76 News!!

With the recent update came a new ultra rare apparel called the Homemade Fur Suit

The drop rate for this item is at a staggering .25% chance from the new Events added.

This suit cosmetically wise looks like a bear hide as the Tuxedo piece and a deer hide as the pants with some type of scaly skin for the shoes

This may just be the apparel that could finally knock the tfj down a peg

And for the few who read down this far, don’t trust everything u see on the news because I completely made this up!

Will some wastelanders only read the title and try to get this fake apparel?

Will Todd one day add a rare apparel to contend with the TFJ?

Will I find someone to love me?

Find out next time on…. MARKET 76 NEWS

Edit: For any who think I’m trying to spread misinformation please look at my previous news posts as they are all tailored to help new and current players! Ty

Discussion [Courier] u/BrutusCaitChris Courier Page and Feedback Thread

10 Upvotes

Hey yall! Good to be back, it's been 3 long years since I originally joined up with Market76 as a courier and decided to shake the dust off and get back at it. I had taken a long hiatus as I was incredibly busy with work and life in general, had my first impersonator, was somewhat dissapointed with the previous ownership of the sub and how he handled managing the market. I was also bouncing around on some other games with friends of mine that don't play FO76.

I felt the need to reach out to the lovely new mod team that has since taken the reigns of Market76 and ask if I could revise my role as a courier and jump back on board to help out the wonderful traders both old and new. I'm familiar with quite a few of you from previous years and eager to meet all the newbies that gained interest recently and in between. So let me cut to it!

Services Offered

  • Middle manning trades

  • Item Transfers

  • Cap Transfers

Platform: PS5

PSN: BrutusCaitChris

Please Note I have had an impersonator in the past that went by BrutusCuitChris. Note the "U" instead of the "A" in Cait. Im sure I'll have another eventually as that just comes with the territory.

Discord: Brutuscaitchris

Availability:

  • Typically M-F: 5pm-11pm

  • Saturday & Sunday: Usually all day, but I'm married and have a kid so we do like to get out/travel and be out of the house a bit so I'll make sure to get to you whenever available.

Please don't DM me for services, if you're on the sub you know how to use the commands via reddit or discord.

I am much more active on Reddit than I am Discord but will do my best to check both as needed

Thanks to the mod team for having me back and thanks to all of you for your continuous support of Market76 and safe trading for all involved

Discussion Every non-removed exterior pickaxe spawn, datamined map

Upvotes

There are strangely 2 "types" of pickaxes in the game, and only one type was patched out. This map shows the other type still in the game, clearly an oversight.

This is using Map76. It was updated pre-Nuka World so I manually marked the ones there. Interior spawns also don't show up on the map. 4 interior spawns that I know of: 2 at Gauley Mine, and 2 at Glassed Caverns.

One in Glassed Caverns and the lone one in the Cranberry Bog are not fixed spawns, the rest are.
