In Starfield, vendors undergo periodic Credit resets, which can be strategically monitored. They also refresh their inventory regularly, providing opportunities to purchase a variety of items.
Utilizing the vendor reset feature becomes particularly beneficial when you’ve exhausted their stockpile of building supplies or when you wish to offload a surplus of items.
For these transactions, it’s essential that the vendor has a substantial Credit reserve to support them. This is where the Credit reset feature proves advantageous. By waiting for the reset, the vendor’s Credits will revert to their pre-exchange levels, allowing for a fresh opportunity to engage in transactions.
What is the Vendor Reset interval in Starfield?
In Starfield’s captivating narrative, you’ll embark on interplanetary journeys, each with its own distinct time zone. To effectively monitor vendor resets, it’s crucial to sync your reference point with the time zone of the specific planet where the vendor operates.
Irrespective of the planet’s location within Starfield, inventory resets unfailingly occur every “48 hours,” while credit resets follow suit every “24 hours.”

Given the unique spatial positioning of each planet within Starfield’s expansive galaxy, the passage of time varies dramatically. The temporal variance can be as extreme as a tenfold difference. Essentially, waiting for the same 24-hour cycle on one planet might entail a ten-day wait on another.
Conversely, when time flows more rapidly on certain planets, waiting for the same 24-hour window may translate to a mere “two and a half hours.”
Consequently, thorough research becomes imperative before embarking on any planetary expedition to reset vendor credits in Starfield. Staying on the same planet as the vendor simplifies matters, allowing you to wait precisely 24 hours to trigger the reset.
How to speed up vendor credits reset in Starfield
In Starfield, you can reset the Vendor Credits by using the simple “Outpost Trick.” For that, you need to find the planet where the time zone is slower than usual. One such example is Titan.
Upon finding the planet, you must use the Tungsten to build an outpost. After that, you can travel to the outpost for a few hours. You then need to return to the planet where you were waiting for the Vendor to reset their inventories. As soon as you land, you will find that every Vendor has already reset themselves.
Another way that you can use to speed up the Vendor reset process is by resetting all vendors in Starfield at the same time. Rather than waiting 24 hours for each vendor, you must wait once for all the vendors.
