Pencil

Pencils are miscellaneous items in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
They are generic junk often found on and in desks.

While their value is only 1 cap each (the player will get less than that if their Barter skill is below 100), pencils have no weight. Note that they cannot be loaded into the Rock-It Launcher, unlike weightless pre-War money.

After upgrading, Book Chute can convert one pencil into 5 lead and 1 scrap metal.

Fallout 3

 * A considerable number of pencils can be found in your Tenpenny suite after purchasing the Vault theme, and on Irving Cheng's desk in Tenpenny Tower.
 * You can find 4 pencils on the desk in your Megaton house with the pre-War theme.
 * You can find 12 pencils in Shelter.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * There are pencils where Doc Mitchell lives, as well as where Easy Pete lives, both in Goodsprings.
 * Basically any office building or residential area will have pencils.
