Star Citizen Wikelo Ships & Rewards: Trade List and Requirements

This Star Citizen Wikelo ship list covers all 42 recorded ship and vehicle exchanges, including material recipes, Wikelo Favors, Polaris Bits, reputation requirements, crafting and farming routes. Wikelo's Emporium is not a conventional aUEC dealership. Players unlock an offer, collect or craft the required items, deliver them to the specified location and complete the contract to receive their reward.

As of Star Citizen Alpha 4.10.2 LIVE, released October 9, 2026, Wikelo offers both traditional material exchanges and crafting-based ship trades. The Drake Clipper Wikelo War Special uses Metamaterial Test #152, introduced with the Alpha 4.10 exchange changes. Alpha 4.10.2 also adds Gemini LMG and Grey Combat Armour recipes to Wikelo's equipment catalog, not the ship list.

The ship recipes below are based on published Alpha 4.10 and 4.10.1 mission data. The SC DataHub reference was refreshed September 17, 2026; this is not an independent in-game verification of every exchange after the October 9 update. Always check the active LIVE contract before depositing valuable materials. For individual Favor exchanges, see the Star Citizen Wikelo Favors Guide.

Star Citizen Wikelo Ships and Rewards at a Glance

Wikelo's catalog includes simple ground vehicles, industrial ships, fighters and capital vessels. Selecting one reward first prevents you from consuming materials needed by another project.

Difficulty is an editorial assessment, not an official CIG rating. Even a two-item contract can be difficult if one ingredient is restricted to dangerous missions or quality-gated crafting.

Treat each Wikelo reward as a separate project: physical ingredients, Favors, reputation and crafted items are different requirements.

How to Unlock Wikelo Ships

Begin with the once-only collection contract Wikelo Arrive to System. Completing it unlocks Wikelo's wider Emporium network.

The recorded introductory requirements are:

• 1x Vestal Water;
• 3x Tundra Kopion Horn.

Deliver these items to the mission destination, complete the introduction and inspect the newly available collection contracts.

Some advanced rewards also require customer reputation. The published rank thresholds are:

Reputation and Wikelo Favors are separate. Accumulating 50 Favors does not automatically grant Very Best Customer, and reaching a reputation rank does not replace the required materials.

Check the individual contract's availability, rank requirement and complete recipe before farming.

Where Is Wikelo in Star Citizen?

Wikelo operates through dedicated Emporium stations in Stanton rather than an ordinary ship dealership. The established locations are Dasi Station, Selo Station and Kinga Station.

Their approximate regional locations are:

• Dasi Station: near Hurston;
• Selo Station: in the Crusader region, near Yela;
• Kinga Station: near microTech.

The active contract specifies the correct destination. Never assume materials can be delivered to any Emporium interchangeably.

How a Wikelo Trade Works

Standard vehicle contracts use physical material deliveries. Newer crafting exchanges require a completed fabricated item.

1. Complete Wikelo Arrive to System.
2. Select a particular ship or vehicle.
3. Accept its collection contract or showroom offer.
4. Check the exact reward, reputation requirement, recipe and destination.
5. Collect the ingredients or unlock the required blueprint.
6. Reserve valuable items for the chosen project.
7. Transport the materials or finished crafted object to the designated Emporium.
8. Submit the items through the specified freight elevator.
9. Complete the contract and follow its reward-delivery instructions.
10. Verify where the resulting vehicle is available.

Mission data generally awards each vehicle to the contract owner. Completing one contract as a group does not automatically award every participant a ship.

New Crafting-Based Ship Exchanges in Alpha 4.10

Alpha 4.10 introduced Wikelo exchanges where players fabricate a special object instead of delivering a large conventional ingredient list. The Clipper exchange is the main example.

1. Find the Drake Clipper Wikelo War Special offer in Wikelo's showroom.
2. Accept Clipper Fight Now through its offer.
3. Receive the mission-associated Metamaterial Test #152 blueprint.
4. Gather Stileron and Ouratite meeting the minimum quality requirements.
5. Use a supported fabricator to create Metamaterial Test #152.
6. Transport the completed object to the specified Emporium.
7. Submit it through the freight elevator.
8. Finish the exchange at Wikelo's terminal.

The Alpha 4.10 exchange instructions describe a single-use blueprint. Do not assume it provides unlimited crafting attempts. Inspect the recipe and material quality before consuming valuable resources.

After completion, the terminal offers immediate retrieval at the Emporium pad or delivery to the home hangar. Immediate retrieval sends away the ship currently occupying the associated pad and brings up the new reward.

Wikelo's facility is not permanent personal ship storage. Do not leave important cargo or equipment there expecting ordinary home-hangar behavior.

These new procedures should not be assumed to apply identically to every older ship exchange. Follow the instructions of the active contract.

Wikelo Starter Vehicles and ATLS Trade Requirements

Starter vehicles and ATLS variants are useful introductory projects, although the number of Favors alone does not indicate the actual farming difficulty.

The recorded GEO IKTI recipe requires a standard Argo ATLS, not both an ATLS GEO and an ATLS IKTI. Earlier Alpha 4.9 references flagged problems with Make jumpy ATLS shoot; that does not establish whether the issue remains in 4.10.2. Check current mission availability and reported issues before committing 36 SCU of Quantainium.

Nox and Pulse are straightforward Favor-only rewards. The Golem requires only two Favors but also needs 15 ASD Secure Drives, making it substantially harder.

Before handing over an ATLS, confirm the exact base variant requested by the LIVE contract.

Small, Cargo, Mining and Utility Wikelo Ship List

Wikelo offers industrial, cargo, mining, medical and utility ships with different bottlenecks. These projects are best chosen around the activity you intend to pursue afterward.

The Prospector is a practical industrial project: its requirements separate naturally into Favors, Carinite, Saldynium, Jaclium and Pure Carinite. You can farm them across several sessions.

Fortune and Intrepid need relatively few Favors but depend on a rare individual item. They become convenient if you already possess the correct Pure Carinite or Pristine medal.

The Apollo Triage requires considerable logistics. Its 48 SCU of Savrilium must be mined, refined and hauled, so the necessary cargo capacity matters as much as the Favor count.

Best Wikelo Industrial Target

The MISC Prospector Wikelo Work Special is a logical choice for players who want to use their reward for future mining. Players already equipped for mining may prefer cargo ships, RAFT or Apollo Triage.

For mining equipment, extraction and refining preparation, see the Star Citizen Mining Guide. For resource priorities, use the Best Ore Guide.

Wikelo Fighter and Combat Ship Requirements

Combat rewards generally require dangerous mission loot. DCHS-05 boards, Ace Interceptor Helmets, Pristine medals, irradiated Valakkar Pearls and Vanduul materials are common obstacles.

Sabre Peregrine has a relatively short recipe: four Favors and one DCHS board. Nevertheless, obtaining the board may be harder than farming several additional Favors.

F8C and Guardian variants demand broader material collections. Their difficulty is determined by specialized combat and exploration items, not merely Favor totals.

Wikelo variants can have different components, equipment or appearance from standard hulls. Compare their current loadouts instead of assuming every special version is an unconditional upgrade.

Which Wikelo Fighter Is Easiest to Target?

Sabre Peregrine is a practical first fighter if you can reliably obtain a DCHS board. Ares variants or Scorpius may be easier when you already possess their required military loot.

Guardian MX and F8C are longer projects. Choose the desired variant before spending materials that could be used in another fighter recipe.

L-21 Wolf, L-22 Alpha Wolf and Metamaterial Trades

Wolf and Clipper projects illustrate two different systems: conventional collections and crafted metamaterial turn-ins. Their requirements should not be confused.

Most Special Wolf becomes available at Very Good Customer and provides more than the L-21 Wolf. Its recorded additional rewards are the Antium Helmet, Core, Arms and Legs in the Midnight Sun variant, plus the Fresnel "Deepwater" Energy LMG. Mission data marks the contract as once-only, so it should not be planned as a repeatable five-Favor trade.

Metamaterial Test #146: L-22 Alpha Wolf Recipe

The recorded crafting inputs are:

• 2 SCU Titanium, minimum Q900;
• 2 SCU Riccite, minimum Q800;
• 4x Yormandi Eye.

Accept Extra Special Wolf to obtain its blueprint, craft Metamaterial Test #146 and submit the completed object. Delivering the raw ingredients directly is not equivalent.

Both material quality thresholds are important. Lower-quality Titanium or Riccite does not satisfy the recipe merely because the amount is correct.

Metamaterial Test #152: Drake Clipper Recipe

The Clipper's fabricated component requires:

• 0.50 SCU Stileron, minimum Q700;
• 0.30 SCU Ouratite, minimum Q800.

Clipper Fight Now awards access to the Metamaterial Test #152 blueprint. Fabricate one completed test item and deliver it to Wikelo for the Drake Clipper Wikelo War Special.

Stileron and Ouratite are crafting inputs, not the objects handed directly to Wikelo. The contract requires the finished Metamaterial Test #152.

Published resource references associate Stileron with Pyro and Ouratite with Stanton. The project may therefore require travel between systems unless suitable resources are already available.

The Metamaterial Test #152 Blueprint reference lists the quantities and quality thresholds. Confirm them in the active fabricator before crafting.

Heavy and Capital Wikelo Ship Requirements

Heavy and capital rewards require several independent farming activities. These projects combine Favors, Polaris Bits, mining commodities, rare military loot and specialized components.

The table shows individual contract recipes, not cumulative upgrade chains. Published mission prerequisites do not establish a requirement to obtain the Polaris before beginning the Idris-P exchange.

Track ingredient families separately: Favors, Polaris Bits, medals, boards, drives, minerals and all nine RCMBNT component variants.

Wikelo Idris Requirements

The Idris-P Wikelo War Special requires Very Best Customer reputation, 50 Favors, 50 Polaris Bits and an extensive collection of other rare materials.

The recipe includes multiple 50-unit item stacks, four separate 30-unit material requirements and 45 RCMBNT components across nine variants.

Farming 50 Favors is only one part of the project. Rare medals, components and combat items are major obstacles.

An organized group can divide the work among mining, combat missions, specialist recovery and hauling, but the actual reward belongs to the contract owner.

Wikelo Polaris Requirements

The Polaris Wikelo Special requires 50 Favors, 15 Polaris Bits and additional rare materials, including one unit of every listed RCMBNT variant.

Its requirements are lower than those of the Idris-P, but still involve multiple gameplay systems.

The Polaris exchange also carries a substantial recorded reputation reward, making it relevant to customer progression.

Do not interpret Short Time Deal as proof of an exact expiration time. Check current contract availability and any timer shown in LIVE.

How to Get Wikelo Favors and Polaris Bits

Wikelo Favors and Polaris Bits are different physical progression items. Neither replaces the other, and neither removes the need for additional materials.

These exchanges become available through the Wikelo network after the introductory mission. Always deliver the exact item type and quantity listed by the current contract.

Reserve Carinite and Valakkar Pearls for your desired ship before converting any surplus into Favors.

Best Favor Farming Route

MG Scrip and Council Scrip are useful Favor sources for players who can reliably complete the relevant missions. They allow players to preserve rare crafting materials.

A practical route is:

1. Choose the intended Wikelo reward and calculate the missing Favors.
2. Find a repeatable, available mission awarding MG Scrip or Council Scrip.
3. Complete missions in a convenient operating area.
4. Reserve the earned Scrip.
5. Accept the corresponding Favor exchange contract.
6. Travel to the designated Emporium.
7. Deliver the exact required amount.
8. Confirm receipt of the Favor before continuing.

Foxwell Enforcement and League Council activities are relevant potential sources, depending on available contracts and rewards.

For detailed comparisons, see the Star Citizen Wikelo Favors Guide.

Best Polaris Bit Farming Route

The recorded exchange uses 24 SCU Quantainium for one Polaris Bit. This requires a substantial mining, refining and hauling operation.

1. Prepare a Quantainium-capable mining ship, such as a Prospector or MOLE.
2. Identify an appropriate current mining location.
3. Extract workable Quantainium deposits.
4. Deliver the mined material to a refinery.
5. Select a refining method and account for yield.
6. Load the finished commodity into a cargo-capable ship.
7. Accept the Polaris Bit contract and confirm its destination.
8. Transport 24 SCU of the required Quantainium.
9. Complete the delivery and secure the Polaris Bit.

At the recorded rate, 15 Polaris Bits require a total of 360 SCU of delivered Quantainium, while 50 Bits require 1,200 SCU. These figures are total refined-commodity deliveries, not guaranteed raw ore quantities or single-run capacities.

Mining and refinery losses can increase the amount of raw material you must collect.

For details, consult the Star Citizen Refinery Guide and Star Citizen Polaris Bits Guide.

Best Farming Routes for Rare Wikelo Materials

The rarest ingredient usually determines a Wikelo project's completion time. Group resources by acquisition activity so compatible objectives can be completed together.

These are known activity routes rather than guaranteed fixed spawns. Item acquisition and mission availability can vary.

ASD Secure Drive Farming

ASD Secure Drives are associated with investigation contracts at the ASD Onyx Facility.

Recorded dossier missions include Updated Power Usage Data, Updated Energy Anomaly Data, Updated Security Data and Updated Seismic Data.

Players targeting Golem, Terrapin Medic or capital rewards may need to repeat eligible missions to accumulate drives.

Do not treat ASD Secure Drives as guaranteed random bunker-crate loot.

DCHS-05 Comp-Board Farming

DCHS-05 Orbital Positioning Comp-Boards are associated with Ruin Station's contested zone in Pyro.

Published references place the item in the Ghost Arena treasure-vault area, behind additional secured access that can require a Crypt Keycard.

This route can involve PvP, combat and difficult extraction. Prepare storage and an escape plan before collecting valuable boards.

The DCHS-05 item reference provides additional location details.

Rare Medals and Ace Pilot Loot

Several Wikelo ships require Pristine medals obtained through eligible combat encounters.

The Government Cartography Agency Medal (Pristine) is associated with applicable ace-pilot loot.

Government Cartography Agency, Tevarin War Service and UEE 6th Platoon medals are separate items. Their Pristine variants cannot be replaced by other conditions or similarly named collectibles.

Confirm the precise item before extracting from an encounter.

Valakkar, Kopion and Yormandi Materials

Creature ingredients are distinguished by species, age, irradiation status and quality.

Juvenile, Adult and Apex Irradiated Valakkar Fangs are not interchangeable. Neither are Grade AA and Grade AAA Pearls.

Verify which creature encounter currently awards the required item before repeatedly hunting it.

The same principle applies to Irradiated Kopion Horns, Yormandi Eyes and Yormandi Tongues.

Rare Minerals and Crafting Quality

Crafted Wikelo exchanges require exact minerals and acceptable quality levels.

Metamaterial Test #146 needs Q900 Titanium and Q800 Riccite; Test #152 needs Q700 Stileron and Q800 Ouratite.

Refining yield and cargo handling are important when preparing quality-gated mineral inputs. Check the actual quality of materials available in the fabricator instead of assuming a correct commodity name guarantees a valid recipe.

Consult the separate mining and refinery guides for extraction locations and processing choices.

Best Wikelo Ships to Farm First

The best first reward depends on your existing materials, accessible missions and intended gameplay. The shortest Favor recipe is not necessarily the easiest overall.

These are practical suggestions, not an official ranking. A project involving more Favors can be easier if its rare ingredients are already in your inventory.

For building a functional fleet, completing an industrial or starter reward before pursuing a capital ship is often more manageable.

Best Wikelo Farming Strategy

Start with your desired reward and work backward through its requirements. This avoids wasting scarce items on unrelated exchanges.

1. Pick the Ship Before You Farm

Select the exact contract and reward variant. Different Wikelo versions of similar hulls can have completely different recipes.

2. Separate Common and Rare Requirements

Organize the project into ingredient categories:

• Wikelo Favors;
• Polaris Bits;
• MG Scrip and Council Scrip;
• ordinary mining commodities;
• high-quality crafting minerals;
• Valakkar and other creature parts;
• medals, helmets and military loot;
• ASD Secure Drives;
• DCHS-05 Comp-Boards;
• RCMBNT components;
• crafted metamaterials.

Tracking these categories identifies the actual obstacle to completing the contract.

3. Do Not Consume Your Bottleneck

Carinite and Valakkar Pearls can be used for Favor conversions but are also required directly by other ship projects.

Reserve the exact amount needed by your target, then exchange only genuine surplus materials.

4. Combine Compatible Farming Routes

Select activities that can progress multiple requirements. A suitable security mission may award Scrip and provide military loot opportunities; a mining trip may support more than one industrial objective.

Check actual rewards and mineral availability instead of assuming every activity provides both resources.

5. Use Parallel Farming in a Group

For large projects, divide work between miners, mission runners, combat specialists and haulers.

Track who holds each ingredient, how it will be transported and who owns the final collection contract.

6. Plan Cargo and Storage

Wikelo recipes combine small physical items with bulk SCU commodities.

Transporting 24 SCU of Quantainium requires different preparation from carrying a Pristine medal or Comp-Board.

Use suitable cargo ships, containers and secure storage. Avoid exposing your entire rare-item collection to unnecessary risk.

7. Verify the Contract Before the Final Move

Always compare the latest LIVE contract with the reference table immediately before an expensive delivery.

Confirm the following:

• exact ship or vehicle variant;
• current contract availability;
• customer reputation requirement;
• material names and quantities;
• minimum crafting quality where applicable;
• designated Emporium destination;
• freight elevator and reward-delivery procedure.

After completion, check that the reward is available at the expected location.

Are Wikelo Ships Permanent?

Wikelo ships are earned in-game rewards, not ordinary RSI account pledge entitlements.

They may persist across updates when relevant Long Term Persistence records are preserved, but comprehensive wipes can remove them.

CIG's revised Alpha 4.8 wipe announcement explicitly included Wikelo and Executive rewards among reset progression. Therefore, no guide should promise that an in-game Wikelo ship is immune to future wipes.

Blueprint retention is a separate question from ship ownership. Check the precise wipe rules announced for each update.
