PSA:
From August 21-23 Minerva sells Secret Service armor plans, (sale 17). This sale is very important because you (at any level, and with no faction rep requirements) can buy
- Secret Service Armor plans
Secret Service Jetpack (which sounds like armor, but is really just a mod for SS chest armor and needs the SS chest armor plan in addition)
Farmable Dirt Tiles
Then in a month of so there will be Sale 20, which will have stuff from sale 17/18/19 so if you are not ready by August 21-23 you have another chance. There is yet another pair of chances from Minerval Sale 1/4 but that will be a while from now
This is the time for low level chars w/o Foundation/Raider rep to buy those items, and at 25% off.
A Jetpack (which requires SS chest armor/jetpack mod) is super useful and awesome. Normally you need to do the Foundation or Raider quests to get to Vault 79 to get these, but this is one of the 2 times per "year-ish" when you can get those plans from Minerva for 25% off.

So to buy these plans in August or mid-September you will need approximately 2500 gold, and close to 3000 if you want the farmable dirt tiles (which you do, but they are not as important as the jetpack).
So how do you get gold?
- Daily Foundation quest for Ward (can do anytime once you can get there): 3 treasury notes = 30 gold from Ward
Daily Raider quest (from Rocksy or Wren, can only do when they are neutral or above): 3 treasury notes = 30 gold
Daily Davenport quest (can only do when you are done with the Wastelander quest lines to the end)
Wastelander quest lines (Raider)
Wastelander quest lines (Foundation)
one of 3 Quests in the Whitespring Refuge (one for Sophie, takes 50 cloth/plastic/metal depending on the day, one for Esme, stupid cooking quest, one other which involves taking pictures of stuff or finding some medical info)
Some events (Eviction Notice, Moonshine Jamboree, etc).
These quests give you Treasury notes, which you can turn in at Foundation/Crater/Whitespring mall for 10 gold per Tnote. Much of the life of lower level toons will eventually involve farming for Tnotes and Raider/Foundation rep)
A jetpack is really awesome for mobility. You need ~2500 gold to get the plans, then mats and flux to make the chest armor and jetpack, and the Farmable Dirt Tiles are also super useful.
So start farming gold if you want a jetpack. Trust me, you want a jetpack.
Power armor users can more easily craft jetpacks if they have the jetpack plan for their PA, but if you want to have a jetpack w/o PA you need to farm for gold to get these.
Unfortunately, nobody can give you gold or anything that depends on it, so you need to farm gold. Doing the Foundation and Raider Wastelander quests (you can do both lines until the games says you need to make a choice) will help, but you'll probably need to farm daily quests for gold also.
If you ever need anything, you can always try to contact me. I'm on PC, my name is Pz38t. If you want to do that let me know what your names are. I am only minimally on Discord, but could try setting this up if you want.
