Fallout 76 Minerva Location and Big Sale Guide—Where is Minerva Today?

If you’re new to Fallout 76, Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic MMORPG, you might not be familiar with Minerva. She’s one of the game’s most valuable traders, offering some of the rarest plans in the game in exchange for gold bullion. However, she’s elusive, travels around the map, and regularly hosts massive sales with rotating lists of items.

With all that being said, this guide will help you understand where Minerva is in Fallout 76, when her next Big Sale is, and what she’s offering. As stated, there’s a rotating list of items, so if you want to know Minerva’s location today or what she’s offering, read on.

Where is Minerva Today in Fallout 76?

Minerva appears in Fallout 76 under two conditions: her Emporium and her Big Sale event. She offers players exclusive plans and items, all of which are available at a lower price than any other vendor – around 25% lower, actually.

She’ll change location once a week in Fallout 76, drifting around the map to major points of interest.

Today, Minerva is not available. She’ll next appear on May 21 to host the Big Sale event.

Here’s where Minerva’s current location can be:

• Foundation (On the right side of the main gate after the bridge)
• The Crater (Opposite the crop fields outside the main structure)
• Fort Atlas (On the right side of the fort as you approach the main gates)
• The Whitespring Resort (Outside the main entrance)

But how does Minerva’s schedule work in Fallout 76?

From Monday to Wednesday (noon to noon ET time), she’ll be in one of the above locations (as named) for the Minerva’s Emporium offer. This will be every three weeks of the ‘cycle’, and on the fourth week, she’ll appear to host Minerva’s Big Sale, exclusively at The Whitespring Resort.

That ultimate event runs from Thursday to the following Monday (noon to noon ET time).

This means that there are days when Minerva simply isn’t available.

Minerva’s Fallout 76 Schedule

Minerva’s next Big Sale will run from May 21 to May 25, but here are the next few weeks of events tied to Minerva, including her location:

• May 21 – May 25: Big Sale (Whitespring Resort) (List 12)
• June 1 – June 3: Emporium (Foundation)
• June 8 – June 10: Emporium (The Crater)
• June 15 – June 17: Emporium (Fort Atlas)
• June 25 – June 29: Big Sale (Whitespring Resort)

How Does Minerva Work in Fallout 76?

Minerva offers a rotating list of items in Fallout 76, comprised of a staggering array of plans.

For each Emporium, Minerva’s inventory will be made up of items taken from one of many lists: 1-3, 5-7, 9-11, 13-15, 17-19, or 21-23. Alternatively, when Minerva runs her Big Sale, she’ll use lists 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24. The lists for the Big Sale are much larger and more valuable.

All of Minerva’s items can be purchased using gold bullion.

How to Get More Gold Bullion in Fallout 76

You’ll need gold bullion to trade with most of the high-tier traders in Fallout 76, including Minerva. But how do you get more of it? Here are the easiest methods:

• Buy 50 bullion for 1,000 caps from Smiley at The Wayward (max 300 per week)
• Exchange Treasury Notes for up to 400 bullion per day
  • Treasury Notes can be earned via public events
