Mothman Equinox event: All rewards & guide
[Update 26th Jan 2026] New Dates & Surprise Option
Next Event
- In-Game Birthday Event: 11th Nov 2025
- Tue, 27th Jan 2026 (12am ET) - 10th Feb 2026 (12am ET)
With Patch 32 (December 8th, 2021) the Mothman Equinox Event was activated for the first time. We already covered this at Nuka Knights during the PTS. The enlightened (Mothman cultists) meet once every hour in Point Pleasant to pay homage to the Mothman with a spiritual ritual.
Sequence
Step 1:
The event is started on the roof of the Mothman Museum by speaking to interpreter Clarence. Your task is to help the enlightened to perform the ritual together with other wasteland dwellers.
Step 2:
There are 3 fireplaces (water/bridge/church). Free the 3 pyres from the vines. So shoot or knock off the vines there.
Step 3:
Defend the 3 pyres. Destroy the 10 totems on the roofs. Gather 15 Albino Radstag Blood and place it in the offering troughs. Kill the 5 Cultist Prophets.
Step 4:
If at least 1 more pyre has been successfully protected (ideally all 3 pyres should not be destroyed yet), return to the roof of the Mothman Museum and do 30 emotes. Then the Mothman spawns and the event ends.
Tips:
If you "click" the Mothman (like in the Lighthouse Event) you will receive the "Mothman's Wisdom" for 60 minutes. In this case: +15% XP bonus
The books in the church are gradually unlocked according to the number of completed events:
- Book: 1 event
- Book: 3 Events
- Book: 6 Events
- Book: 10 events
- Book: 15 events
- Book: 21 Events
Surprise Option: Mutated Packs
This time, the event has a new background option that allows Bethesda to activate an additional reward server-side, as we've seen in other events. This time, there are Mutated Packs, and if at least 3 Fallout 1st subscribers participate in the event, Mutated Party Packs will be available.
As soon as an official announcement is made or players report on the Mutated Packs, this information will be updated here.
REWARDS (IF NO PYRE DESTROYED)
Basic rewards are: 500 XP, 60 Caps, 1* Legendary Item, 2 Treasury Notes and 1-3 Legendary Modules.
Standard Reward: Plan: Mothman Equinox Stein (100%) (Not tradeable / No Drop, if learned)
Player Title
Rare Rewards:
New rewards marked. Drop Chance as displayed, if no pyre was destroyed
Rare Clothes:

HIGH CULTIST PRIESTS (OUTSIDE THE EVENT)
Alongside the event, high cultist priests will spawn throughout Appalachia . The spawns work the same as in the Mole Miner Treasure Hunters. And these enemies are also all legendary, meaning they each carry a 1-3* legendary item.
In addition, they each have a Cultist Priest Pack with them. It contains a few tools and an outfit with a 25% chance of dropping):
The packs cannot be traded and cannot be bought at train stations. The collectrons do not collect these packets either.

INSIDER TIP
The equinox is an actual event that you can read about on Wikipedia.
"A solar equinox is a moment in time when the Sun crosses the Earth's equator, which is to say, appears directly above the equator, rather than north or south of the equator. On the day of the equinox, the Sun appears to rise "due east" and set "due west"."
