I haven't found it yet, but the swatter guy in Diamond City sells shipments of wood. For a couple of hundred caps.

It's obvious - it's not hiding. 

I was told stories of the Shishkebab.

I was told it was the best melee weapon...

That shit sucks.

My Stunning Super Sledge does 109 melee damage. The Shishkebab maxes out at 39. Looks cool and all. But my rocket assisted sledgehammer with Arcing Head looks a lot cooler.

Selling bottled water rakes in much more than selling weapon or armor. Sanctuary is an ideal place for building industrial purifiers. I have about ten of them up and running, producing a total of 416 water every couple of days. With high enough charisma that's a never ending goldmine.

Hmmm.  How much does the water sell for?  When I do a couple "Clearing the Commonwealth" missions, I usually rake in a couple grand by just picking up the unique items and ammo.  But I'd definitely prefer to have a permanent sustainable income source if possible.

3 to 5000, every couple of days. Which I instantly invest in shipments. I hold on to the uniques as well as the ammo to hand out to my companions.

The super-sledge is certainly the most powerful melee weapon I've come across. With my strength cranked up high enough, it does 230+ ballistic damage and 60+ energy damage.

I have 10 or 11 of them running at Sanctuary, producing several thousand caps worth of water every few in-game days, at a charisma of 3, more once I get it to 6.

I haven't bothered selling much loot to vendors, damn near everything I've picked up has either been broken down into materials or is stockpiled for later, and I pick up pretty much everything. Hoarder!

Cleared the bugs without firing a shot or breaking a sweat. Took a few tries.

Piles of wood, looks like an interesting spot for an Evil Lair™. I'm going to see if I can build off the existing structures eventually. There's not much level ground.

The Gunners have earned themselves a place at the top of my hunting list.

Lock and load, bastards.

LOL, I was clearing the ghouls out of Sunshine Tidings - a suicider, a legendary skirmisher, and a vanilla super mutant attack the other side of the compound. The suicider waxed the super mutant and damaged the legendary in the process, making my job all that much easier.

Thanks for the assist, greenskins!

This morning I fast travelled from Sanctuary to Bunker hill, only to immediately get a message to defend Sanctuary.

When I got back there nothing happened for a couple of minutes and then a single feral ghoul appeared right in the middle of town - directly in front of my twin missile batteries.

About four minutes after he died I heard the turrets to the north firing - about 15 feral ghouls were running toward town - a town ringed with type 1 turrets backed by type three.

I got two kills. The turrets took the rest.
