Merchants in Starfield – NPCs through whom you can sell and buy various items, which is an integral part of the gameplay. An assortment of merchants allows you to upgrade your weapon or starship, as well as purchase ammunition and other consumables. Shops can be found in various parts of the galaxy, but sometimes you need to find a specific item and then it is useful to understand where exactly the right seller is located.
In this guide we will tell you where you can sell items and contraband. Read the guide to trading in Starfield to find out what assortment is available in each location.
How to trade in Starfield
Exchange and trade take place at retail outlets, which can be divided into 6 categories:
- Store of weapons, uniforms and ammunition.
- Sellers of medical goods.
- Traders of crafting materials.
- Buyers of anything and everything (this also includes points where illegal goods can be sold).
- Retail facilities with food and drinks.
- Other stores.
There is a convenient opportunity to track all available stores and locations of merchants on Starfield interactive map.
The assortment of many sellers changes over time, so if you want to see new things, you should wait until the next day - sleep or wait 24 hours, then return to the store and check merchant update. The range will also expand as you level up your character.
Where to sell contraband and stolen goods
Characters who are not friends with the law will immediately think about how to sell contraband. There are special retail outlets in the game Trade Authority is single place, where you can sell items marked red (stolen) or yellow (smuggling) icons. You can find Trade Authority in any corner of the galaxy - both on planets and in outer space.
How to rob a merchant
The prices at the merchants may not be to everyone's taste, so some Sims may want to consider how to get goods from the store for free (but not entirely legally). The process of stealing in Starfield is almost the same as in Fallout 4 и The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Let's list the skills that will greatly simplify the life of a space thief:
- Stealth.
- Disguise [Concealment].
- Theft [Theft].
The game also contains innovations that were not present in previous Bethesda projects:
- During pickpocketing the game will not be paused, so you will have to continue following the victim until the end of the process.
- Before committing a crime, gamers will see a percentage that reflects probability of successful theft without the risk of getting caught.
The effectiveness of theft is influenced by the chosen build - in a separate guide we talked about best builds for characters in Starfield.
bucket trick, which was popular in Skyrim, does not work in Starfield, however there is another method, which allows you to remove the necessary goods from the store using foreign objects from the environment - an example of such theft can be seen in the attached video.
Another non-standard method of theft involves using cheat codes: you need to go through the textures and find a hidden container, inside of which the entire assortment of the merchant will be hidden. This crutch was used by Bethesda programmers in previous games in the series.
In a separate manual they indicated all cheats for Starfield and told how to use them.
