Scavenging

Scavenging is a set of repeatable gathering jobs used to collect resources and train Scavenging, Mining, Woodcutting, Hunting and Fishing. Each job is linked to one of these skills.

Success chance

A job's success chance is based on your level in its linked Skill. Meeting the required Skill level gives a 30% base chance. Being below the requirement lowers that chance, while each level above it adds 20 percentage points.

Current Morale can improve the final chance, which is capped at 99%.

Some jobs have a minimum Skill level and remain locked until it is reached.

Attempts usually cost Rad Immunity, reduce Morale and may require a tool or another item. A successful attempt awards loot from the job's reward pool; a failed attempt finds nothing. Every attempt still awards player XP and skill XP in the linked gathering skill, and may also trigger a random event.

Available jobs depend on your current location, access items and active game events.
