Are there ANY merchants who sell Rum?

[visitingfan]

Considering I've so far been unable to find a merchant who's had it in their inventory across at least three in game restock periods and across all three DLC maps, I'm inclined to think no but I want to know for sure. Especially since it's an ingredient in one of the Nuka World Nuka Mixes

Rum is not sold by vendors. Why rum?

Well, if you mean "why is rum not sold anywhere ever" I have no idea and it sucks. If you mean why do I need rum so bad it's because they had the marvelous idea to make a rare non buyable item be an ingredient in one of the dlc recipes.

Which isn't QUITE as bad as the crap they pulled with the sludge recipes in Far Harbor. WHY WOULD YOU NOT MAKE CONDENSED FOG RESPAWNING?

Yes, I was asking why you needed rum. I've yet to play any of the DLCs. I don't like beta testing Bethesda games on release data. Another advantage to this is I get to find out all these requirements with time to stock up.

Needing rare items for recipes is nothing new. It prevents you from using the recipe continuously. Berry Mentats is a good example from the vanilla game. You can't just pop them as you walk through the wastes. You must save them for those situations where you have strong enemies in labyrinths (like Fort Hagen or CIT Ruins).

And needing to find rare items is just part of the game. It is the reason for clearing out the basements and subways.

Just saying, None of the merchants sell rum. And there's only like 5 hidden bottles of rum in the entire Commonwealth.
Goodluck searching for them.

Personally i thought it was a genius move to make a super valuable commodity into a craftable achievement. Makes you cherish the oddities more.

mods, mods, and more mods. Need a mod ? Find a mod. Can't find a mod, make a mod.

I happened to have a bottle for the Nuka Bombdrop, then found another bottle so I have two sets of all 20 recipes. I never realized rum was so rare because I usually do not pick up liquor bottles after one or two samples just in case they are needed for something.

In New Vegas, burned books were worthless but if you got the Old World Blues DLC, all of a sudden they became useful.

Rum also has a chance to drop from mobs. I think molerats will drop it for some odd reason.

Isn't there a rum lake where you can fill bottles? Well there should be!

Found one bottle of rum, on board the Prydwen. Enter the airship and go straight to where Max usually hangs out, upon entering his area turn left and on the table in the corner should be 1 bottle. Hope it helps
