Some resources in Starfield are hard to come by, while others are more abundant. Nickel is one of the most common resources in the game, allowing the player to farm them reasonably quickly. It’s still good to know which locations have the most Nickel, making the farming process easier. This guide will cover the best planets and vendors to get Nickel in Starfield.

Best Vendors to Farm Nickel in Starfield
Outside of farming Nickel on planets, players can instead purchase the resource from various vendors. While there are chances of finding Nickel in stock at all vendors, some have a better chance of having it available than others. For your best chances at purchasing Nickel, head to the vendors we have listed below.
- Jemison Mercantile – New Atlantis (Alpha Centauri)
- Shepherd’s General Store – Akila City (Cheyenne)
- Mining League Shop – Neon (Volii)
I have had the best luck purchasing Nickel from these three vendors, as they had a solid supply in stock every time I visited. When visiting these vendors and buying all the Nickel available, remember that you can restock their inventories by waiting for 48 in-game local hours. You can do this by sitting in a chair or sleeping in a bed and selecting the maximum time twice. This is the best way to farm Nickel in Starfield.
