Show me the money.

In the vast and intriguing universe of Starfield, Credits are your lifeline, the currency that makes the cosmos go round. Whether you dream of acquiring the most advanced spaceship, arming yourself to the teeth, or recruiting a stellar crew, it all begins with your stash of Credits. But beware, fellow spacefarer, for not all vendors in Starfield have bottomless pockets. Here, we’ll explain how to reset vendor credits in Starfield, ensuring you always get the most out of your hard-earned loot.

When Is the Starfield Vendor Credit Reset?

In the sprawling expanse of Starfield, timing is everything. As you traverse countless planets and collect an array of materials, you’ll soon realize that your personal and ship storage has its limits. To make room for more treasures and resources, you must sell your accumulated items to vendors. However, here’s the catch: each vendor has a credit limit, and if they run out of Credits while you’re still peddling your wares, you’re essentially giving away your precious goods for free.

To prevent this from happening, you need to be aware of when the vendor credit reset occurs. In Starfield, the reset happens at regular intervals, typically every 24 to 48 in-game hours. This means that after a set period, vendors will have their Credits replenished and be ready to buy your stuff once more. But don’t worry; passing time in the game is a breeze.

How To Restock Vendors in Starfield

Now that you understand the importance of timing your sales and knowing when vendor credit resets occur, let’s dive into the practical steps to ensure you get the most out of your trade runs.

  1. Locate a Resting Spot: First, find a suitable spot near the vendor where you can rest. Look for a chair, bench, or even a bed. If none of these are available nearby, don’t fret; you can always return to your trusty spaceship and rest there.
  2. Take a Seat: Once you’ve found a suitable spot, sit down. Activate the chair, bench, or bed by interacting with it. If you’re on your ship, access the rest feature from the ship’s controls.
  3. Wait It Out: With your posterior firmly planted, select the “Wait” option. Choose to wait for 24 hours. This will simulate the passage of time in the Starfield universe.
  4. Repeat: After the 24-hour wait period is over, repeat the process. Select “Wait” again and wait for another 24 hours. By doing this, you effectively advance the in-game clock by 24 hours each time.

By following these steps, you’ll have reset the vendor Credits in Starfield, ensuring they’re well-prepared to purchase your items when you return to trade.
