Miner Miracles

 

Miner Miracles is a side quest in Fallout 76. To complete it, level 25 is recommended.

Quick walkthroughEdit

• Interact with one of the Garrahan excavator posters, which can be found in various locations around Appalachia.
• Access the reception terminal inside the Garrahan Mining Headquarters and access the entry "Memo: Excavator Queries"
• Access the project manager's terminal within R&D and access the entry "Excavator Module Blueprints"
• Use a power armor station to craft the excavator power armor parts (level 25 required).
• Equip the power armor and use the computer terminal at Garrahan Mining headquarters to register it.

Detailed walkthroughEdit

This quest begins upon investigating one of the many Garrahan excavator posters in Appalachia, usually, the one located in the parking lot of Garrahan Mining Headquarters upon getting close enough to trigger the marker for the miscellaneous objective for it.

Travel to the Garrahan Mining Headquarters and enter the building. Access the computer at the receptionist's desk and read the entry "Memo: Excavator Queries" to trigger the quest. From there, head downstairs to the Research & Development (R&D) room to access the project manager's terminal, but be aware of the random enemies that can be inside, ranging from feral ghouls, to super mutants, to Scorched, to even mole miners.

Once in the R&D room, accessing the project manager's terminal and select the option "Excavator Module Blueprints" to download the plans for crafting Excavator power armor. Then use a power armor station to craft the armor parts onto the chassis. Note that the minimum level for crafting and equipping the power armor is 25.

A level 25 suit of Excavator power armor will require a power armor chassis and a total of 36 black titanium, 30 gears, 12 glass, 6 nuclear material, 36 oil, 26 rubber, 60 screws, 20 springs, and 102 steel to craft.

Once the armor has been crafted onto the chassis, equip the chassis and use the nearby terminal to have the armor scanned and registered to complete the quest.

Quest stagesEdit

Stage	Status	Description	Log Entry
?		Discover Garrahan Mining's Innovation
?		Investigate Garrahan Mining's Headquarters	I've discovered a poster depicting something called the "Excavator Power Armor." It appears to be manufactured by the Garrahan Mining Company. To learn more about this unusual armor, I should explore their headquarters.
?		Consult the Project Manager's Terminal	Garrahan Mining's Reception Terminal mentioned that their company's "Excavator Power Armor" was being handled by someone named "Harold Frost" in the R&D Department. I should head there and examine his records.
?		Build Excavator Power Armor Left and Right Arms	Harold Frost's records revealed a wealth of information regarding Garrahan's Excavator Power Armor, including blueprints. I've decided to make some of the armor pieces for myself at a Power Armor Workbench.
?		Build Excavator Power Armor Left and Right Legs
?		Build Excavator Power Armor Helmet
?		Build Excavator Power Armor Torso
?		Register the Excavator Power Armor	I've completed a full set of Excavator Power Armor. I should now mount the parts on a Power Armor Frame and then register it with Garrahan's Mainframe so it can fully unlock the suit's mining functionality.
?		(Quest completed)	I've successfully registered the Excavator Power Armor with Garrahan's Mainframe. With the suit's mining capabilities unlocked, I should now be able to mine ore much more efficiently.

NotesEdit

• The player character receives the excavator power armor schematics during this quest.
• The player character must be at least level 25 in order to complete the quest since they must be that level to build the power armor.
• The excavator power armor pieces can be constructed at any power armor station, once you have read Harold Frost's terminal, not just the stations located in the Garrahan Mining HQ.
• It is possible to complete this quest by equipping and registering excavator power armor that was crafted by another player and given to you. If this method is done, be sure to access the R&D computer entry "Excavator Module Blueprints" before registering the power armor or it will be impossible to ever gain access to the plans later.
