Star Citizen Wikelo Ships & Rewards: Trade List and Requirements

This Star Citizen Wikelo ship list covers the current vehicle rewards, trade recipes, material requirements, Wikelo Favors, Polaris Bits, reputation gates and turn-in process. Wikelo does not sell ships for aUEC like a normal dealer. His Emporium uses collection contracts: choose a reward, accept its contract, gather the exact requested items and commodities, deliver them to the specified Wikelo location, and receive the special ship or vehicle reward.

If you only need the answer quickly, start with the tables below. They work as a practical Wikelo trade list and requirements checklist. For more detail on earning and converting Favors, use our Star Citizen Wikelo Favors guide. If you want help completing a larger reward instead of farming every requirement yourself, see the available Wikelo ship progression service.

Last verified: September 2026. Wikelo is a live-service progression system and individual recipes can change. The values below were checked against current LIVE mission data. Before moving rare materials, always compare your final checklist with the active in-game contract.

Star Citizen Wikelo Ships and Rewards at a Glance

Wikelo's catalog ranges from simple Favor-only ground vehicles to capital-scale projects that combine Favors, Polaris Bits, rare minerals, creature drops, military items, medals and RCMBNT components.

How to Unlock Wikelo Ships

The starting point is the once-only Wikelo Arrive to System collection contract. The current introductory requirement is:

• 1x Vestal Water
• 3x Tundra Kopion Horn

Completing this introductory collection opens Wikelo's wider contract network. After that, individual vehicle and item projects become available through the Emporium system.

Wikelo also tracks reputation. The current progression uses these customer ranks:

Collecting every ingredient is therefore not always enough. If a contract has a reputation gate, you must first reach the required Wikelo rank.

Where Is Wikelo in Star Citizen?

Wikelo is a Banu trader whose Emporium operates through dedicated stations rather than a conventional NPC shop counter. The established Stanton network includes Wikelo Emporium Dasi Station, Selo Station and Kinga Station.

The safest rule is simple: follow the destination shown by your active contract. Do not assume that every item can be deposited at whichever Emporium station is closest to you.

How a Wikelo trade works

1. Complete Wikelo Arrive to System.
2. Choose the ship or vehicle you want.
3. Accept the corresponding Wikelo collection contract.
4. Read the active contract and record every required material and quantity.
5. Collect the ingredients without spending rare items on unrelated Favor conversions.
6. Move the complete stack to the contract destination.
7. Deposit the requested cargo and items through the specified delivery flow.
8. Complete the contract and check the relevant local inventory for the reward.

For high-value ships, treat the process as a logistics operation. Keep a separate checklist for the target project and avoid mixing its rare materials with unrelated farming stock.

Wikelo Starter Vehicles and ATLS Trade Requirements

These are some of the easiest Wikelo vehicle projects and a good way to learn the collection-contract system before committing to expensive ship rewards.

The important current change is the ATLS GEO IKTI route. Older tables required both an ATLS GEO and an ATLS IKTI. The current trade instead starts from a standard ATLS and also requires Apex Fangs and 36 SCU of Quantainium. If you saved an older Wikelo spreadsheet, update that line before farming.

Small, Cargo, Mining and Utility Wikelo Ship List

The next group contains some of the most practical Wikelo rewards because the ships can support cargo, mining, exploration, medical gameplay and general progression.

Best Wikelo industrial target

The Prospector is one of the clearest progression targets for players interested in mining because its recipe is large enough to require planning without reaching capital-ship complexity. It needs Favors, Carinite, Saldynium, Jaclium and Pure Carinite.

If your route includes large amounts of ore or Quantainium for Polaris Bits, our Star Citizen mining guide covers the mining side separately.

Wikelo Fighter and Combat Ship Requirements

Combat ships introduce more military and rare-item bottlenecks. DCHS-05 boards, Ace Interceptor Helmets, Pristine medals, Valakkar Pearls and Vanduul materials become much more important than they are in the starter trades.

Which Wikelo fighter is easiest to target?

The Sabre Peregrine has one of the cleanest combat-ship recipes because it only requires four Favors and one DCHS-05 board. The Ares routes and Scorpius are reasonable next steps if you already have their medal or material requirements.

The F8C and Guardian variants should be treated as dedicated projects. Their raw Favor cost is only part of the grind; rare pearls, helmets, medals, DCHS boards and Vanduul materials are usually the real bottlenecks.

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

Wikelo also has specialist reward chains that do not follow the standard "large list of Favors plus rare items" pattern.

Clipper Fight Now is an important recent addition. Older Wikelo ship sheets may not include it, and older development data can show a different metamaterial identifier. The current LIVE mission requires Metamaterial Test #152.

Heavy and Capital Wikelo Ship Requirements

The top end of the Wikelo ship list is a resource-management project rather than a normal vendor purchase. Starlancer TAC, A2 Hercules, Asgard, Polaris and Idris-P combine materials from several unrelated gameplay loops.

Wikelo Idris requirements

The Idris-P Wikelo War Special is the largest resource sink in this list and requires the Very Best Customer reputation rank. Having 50 Favors does not mean you are close to completing it. The contract also requires 50 Polaris Bits, multiple stacks of military and Wikelo materials, 30-unit rare-item stacks and 45 RCMBNT components across nine types.

Wikelo Polaris requirements

The Polaris is cheaper than the Idris-P but is still a major coordinated project. The current trade asks for 50 Favors, 15 Polaris Bits and a broad mix of DCHS boards, Carinite, Apex Fangs, MG Scrip, helmets, pearls, medals, Pure Carinite, ASD Drives and nine RCMBNT components.

The Polaris contract currently awards a large amount of Wikelo reputation, making it especially relevant for players progressing toward the highest customer rank.

How to Get Wikelo Favors and Polaris Bits

Favors and Polaris Bits are separate Wikelo progression items. They do not replace each other, and neither replaces the rare ingredients required by the ship contracts.

Do not automatically convert every rare material into Favors. Carinite and Valakkar Pearls are also direct requirements for several ship trades. Check your target recipe first and only convert materials that are genuinely surplus.

For a full breakdown of Favor sources, conversions and farming choices, see the Wikelo Favors Guide.

Best Wikelo Ships to Farm First

There is no single best reward because the value depends on what you want to do after the trade. The better question is which Wikelo project gives you useful progression without consuming rare materials needed for a more important future target.

Best Wikelo Farming Strategy

1. Pick the ship before you farm

Do not collect random Wikelo materials and hope they eventually become useful. Choose one reward and work backward from its current recipe.

2. Separate common and rare requirements

Split the checklist into:

• Wikelo Favors
• Polaris Bits
• Scrip
• ores and commodities
• Valakkar and creature materials
• helmets and combat drops
• Pristine medals
• ASD Secure Drives
• DCHS boards
• RCMBNT components
• special metamaterials

3. Do not consume your bottleneck

If the target ship needs Pure Carinite or Valakkar Pearls, do not spend those same resources simply to generate another Favor unless you have a confirmed surplus.

4. Use parallel farming in a group

Large Wikelo projects scale much better with multiple players. One player can work on Scrip and Favors, another on mining and Polaris Bits, another on military drops, and another on rare creature or facility materials.

5. Verify the contract before the final move

Do not transport the full Idris, Polaris or A2 material stack based only on an old screenshot. Open the active contract and compare every item and quantity first. Wikelo recipes have changed between LIVE builds.

Are Wikelo Ships Permanent?

Wikelo ships are in-game-earned vehicle rewards. They should not be treated as the same thing as a permanent account-level pledge entitlement.

Under normal persistence they can remain with your in-game progression, but a comprehensive wipe can reset them. Cloud Imperium Games explicitly included Wikelo and Executive rewards among the progression reset during the comprehensive Alpha 4.8 wipe. Therefore, no legitimate guide should promise that an in-game Wikelo ship can never be removed by a future wipe.

5. Farm Favors and Polaris Bits separately from rare ingredients.
6. Protect materials that are needed directly by the target ship.
7. Use group farming for multi-category heavy projects.
8. Verify the active contract before transporting expensive stacks.
9. Complete the turn-in at the specified Emporium destination.
