How to unlock the Gold Star Crafter achievement in Fallout 76 - Definitive Guide

Legendary cores are a new component in the game that allow you to modify weapons and armor into legendary versions of that weapon and armor. You can create a new piece of weapon/armor (including power armor) or use an existing piece of weapon/armor and then go to a workbench, switch to modify, and then mod that piece into a one star, two star, or three star legendary piece (you need to make ONE OF EACH type of mod [1*, 1*2*, and 1*2*3*] to get the achievement). Alternatively you can mod an existing legendary piece into a new one with one, two or three stars. Note, however, that any modification of existing legendary pieces will replace your current modifiers! So don't go doing this on a bloodied explosive less vats fixer for example. It will not keep any of your current modifiers!

To add/change legendary mods for weapons/armor you will need the following amount of legendary cores PLUS legendary modules from the Purveyor:

Weapons / Power Armor
1* = one legendary core, two modules
2* = three legendary cores, three modules
3* = five legendary cores, four modules

Armor
1* = one legendary core, one module
2* = three legendary cores, two modules
3* = five legendary cores, three modules

Legendary modules cost 50 scrip each from the Purveyor (at the Rusty Pick in the Ash Heap) and you are limited to purchasing 10, HOWEVER, if you want more, just go to another server :). So in total you need 9 cores and 6-9 legendary modules (costing 300-450 scrip) to get this achievement. Also you can modify the same weapon/armor over and over so you don't need to have three different pieces.

Event Drops

The following events are guaranteed to drop a certain number of cores:

-A Colossal Problem - 8 cores
-Encryptid - 8 cores
-Free Range with 3 Brahmin left alive - 8 cores
-Project Paradise - with 3 creatures alive - 8 cores
-Scorched Earth - 5 cores
-Campfire Tales - 2-6 cores

The following events give you 1 core (48% chance), 2 cores (32% chance), 3 cores (20% chance):

-Decryption (only if you finish with Elder Rewards under 8 minutes!)
-Distinguished Guests
-Feed the People
-Guided Meditation
-Heart of the Swamp
-Jail Break
-Line in the Sand
-Lode Baring
-One Violent Night
-The Path to Enlightenment
-Radiation Rumble
-Swarm of Suitors
-Tea Time
-Test Your Metal
-Uplink (only if you finish with Elder Rewards under 8 minutes)
-Uranium Fever

Others to be updated later

-Fasnacht Day
-Grahm's Meat Cook

Your best bets are, in order:
1. Decryption / Uplink under 8 minutes (Daily Op)
2. Free Range
3. Scorched Earth
4. A Colossal Problem
5. Encryptid
6. Campfire Tales
7. Everything Else

Quick question! So you state we need 10 legendary cores, but how many legendary modules would we need in total?

And they don't have to be outright bought, right? They can be be traded for legendary scrips?

You need scrip, then go to the Purveyor to buy the legendary modules for 50 scrip each. Minimum 300 scrip to buy the necessary number of 6 modules for armor (450 scrip to buy all the modules if you are modding weapons).

I also mistated - you only need 9 cores total. My math was off

Let me know if that helps or if you have further questions

Scorched Earth drops more rewards than is shown on the screen as indicated by the "...". The cores will thus not be listed on your screen when the event ends. Double check your inventory before and after the event as data mining the source code has shown Scorched Earth to be a guaranteed 5-core drop

Just a heads up, doesn't seem like this works with the "random 1, 2, and 3 star" option when adding mods, as I opted for all 3 mods at my weapons bench and didn't get this.

You have to do Random 1, Random 1 and 2, and Random 1 2 and 3. You tried that? If so, log out and back in again and see if that fixes it.

So wait.... it's:

1 star
1 star and 2 star
1 star, 2 star, and 3 star

That's why, I misunderstood that description. Thanks for the clarification.

2024 Just from playing the game by the time I'd got to this, all I had to do was buy the 6 modules. I had a tone of cores and scrip.

once you've acquired legendary cores from daily ops or scoreboard (comment to tell other drop locations) you'll need 10 legendary cores for this.

go to a crafting table and choose modify. select which weapon / armor / power armor you want to use and go into editing it. there will be an option at the top of the new menu, then select whether to choose a random 1 star, 2 star or 3 star (1 core, 3 cores or 6 cores) to get this achievement quick select on any gear choose a random 3 star then on same item choose a random 2 star and again choose a 1 star and that is it done.

Modification of weapons or armor is done at the workbench. Legendary blocks and legendary modules are required.
Legendary blocks can be obtained by completing daily operations and events.
Legendary modules can be exchanged in the RUSTY PICKAX location for certificates. And exchange certificates at exchange machines for legendary weapons.
