Starfield is a game that provides players with the resources and methods to play it their way. It features common and rare items that players can mine, collect, and purchase from vendors and get used to upgrade their weapons, suits, outposts, and ships. The crafting system in Starfield is one of the best aspects of its gameplay.
Lubricant is an exotic manufactured resource that players will need to upgrade weapons with mods like the Binary Trigger, Stabilizing Barrel, and Magnetic Rails. Here are the best ways for players to get it and where.
Where To Purchase Lubricant In Starfield
The most reliable method to obtain Lubricant for crafting in Starfield is purchasing it from some of the many vendors scattered around the universe. Luckily, players won't need to wait long to buy as it becomes available early in Starfield's story. The downside to relying on merchants is that they cost credits, and players may have to return in 24 in-game hours to get what they need, as it's occasionally randomized. Lubricant isn't very expensive, so players will likely have more than enough credits to purchase some. Here are some merchants that sell Lubricant in Starfield:
Jemison Merchantile
The Jemison Merchantile and the Outland store in New Atlantis in the Alpha Centauri System are the first vendors players will likely counter in Starfield. After the opening mission, players can explore New Atlantis and take on side quests. The general goods store is one of the most reliable for obtaining resources, and they'll often have stock of Lubricant for 17 credits each.
The Outland Store
The Outland store is also located in New Atlantis and is another reliable vendor for purchasing resources and materials like Lubricant. It is a store that specializes in space-based goods, so most of its stock focuses on suits and mining materials, but they do stock Lubricant. They aren't as good as the Jemison Merchantile, but many of Starfield's crafting resources can be obtained there in time. The Lubricant also costs 17 credits in the Outland store.
Sheppard's General Goods Store
Sheppard's General Goods store in Akila City in the Cheyanne System is another good store for all kinds of resources, including Lubricant. Players following the story will find they'll arrive in Akila on a mission called The Empty Nest. Sheppard is an excellent place to use for crafting materials, and he sells Lubricant for 18 credits.
Starfield is available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
