Use the tag for search option to help find junk that has bone in it.

Open your pip boy and scroll across to Item and then Junk.

Press RB (right button for Xbox)

Press R3 (right click joystick for PlayStation)

C for PC

This will bring up the component view.

Scroll down and find the junk component you are farming for and then press A to set up the tag for search.

If the junk component that you are looking for is not on the list, then you will need to collect a piece of junk that has the component in it and then repeat the above steps.

Random Fact: Super Duper does not work when turning junk scraps into bulk.

Farming Locations

It is advised that you refresh your pick up history list before going on a bone run.

The easiest way to refresh your pick up history list is to pay a visit to the book house in Summersville. Pick up every single burnt book and text book on all three floors, plus the piles of books on the back table.

You only need to pick up 250 books/items to refresh your pick up history list. There should be a total of 289 books in the book house, but if you pick up everything not bolted down, on all three floors, then you don't need to worry too much if you miss a few burnt books.

There are other ways and places to collect 250 items but the book house is the easiest way because you don't need to keep track of how many items you have picked up.

While bone can be found all over the Wasteland, I'm only going to list locations that have 20 or more bone.

Toxic Valley

Black Bear Lodge - 46 bone shards

Human bones and animal skulls.

Mostly in the basement with an animal skull upstairs, on the side table.

The bones are scattered around on the ground, mostly near the roots of the tree log. There are some small bones in this area so do a double run through to not miss any.

Forest

Aaronholt Homestead - 28 bone shards

Antlers.

They are scattered through out the houses, in the barn and the shed that is out the back in the field. The dogs can also drop bone.

Hunter's Ridge - 37 bone shards

The antlers are scattered around the camp site including upstairs. The Brahmin Skull is at the end of the look out. The dogs can also drop bone.
