There are a whole lot of items to pick up in Starfield. From door knobs to death rays, there isn’t much you won’t be trying to cram into your pockets, especially in the early game. Because you will be on the hunt for early cash, and you’ll eventually run into weight limits, you will need to end up selling lots of these items. You’ll also need to buy a bunch of stuff, like medical supplies and ammo. You can never have enough ammo, after all.
Where to buy and sell items in Starfield
Starfield is filled to the brim with built-up locations like cities, towns, and settlements that will contain a trove of vendors for you to sell items to. The best place to sell just about anything is a Trade Authority kiosk. These tend to be bright yellow and will normally be found near the landing pad in settlements. By interacting with the kiosk, you can sell from your own inventory and your ship’s inventory but not from your companion’s inventory. The vendor should have about 5,000 Credits available, but you can always build that up a bit by purchasing items like Med Packs, Digipicks, and other important items from them. If you sell them enough stuff to hit zero, it will refresh the next working day.
You can also sell just about any item to the UC Distribution Center in the Commercial District on Jemison. Head directly ahead when you spawn at the train station there, and you will find it near an ornate pond on the right. Inside, you can sell almost anything as long as they have the credits to buy it.
After that, a selection of shops are available all over the galaxy to buy and sell more items to.
- Weapons and Ammo – be careful about selling these, as you don’t want to lose your best weapons. You can sell them to places like Jemison Mercantile near the Starport. Just head down the ramp, then up the next ramp, then to the left. There is also a chain of shops in the game called Centaurian Arsenal that are willing to buy all manner of weapons, but sadly not stolen ones.
- Electronics – You can buy and sell all manner of electronic items to Apex Electronics. You
- Healing Items – You can buy and sell these at any medical center, marked by a green cross like down in The Well on Jemison or at a chain of shops called CJ’S. You can find a CJ’s in the residential district on Jemison. Many vendors will stock a small number of these each day, as they are important to gameplay.
- Apparel – Eit Clotheries is the place to go for apparel. You can also find an almost endless supply of apparel on your adventures. It will often appear in lockers and containers.
How to carry more items
A very helpful piece of information here is how to carry more items. If you invest in the Weight Lifting skill, you will be able to carry more weight before it starts to eat into your oxygen levels. You can also give items to your companion by interacting with them. Finally, you can store a varying amount of items in your ship’s cargo hold, depending on what type you have. Some ships can hold up to 2,000 kilograms or more, even in the early game.
