Earn Credits With the Mission Boards in Starfield

While the game features countless hours of main story quests, side quests, and faction quests, you may wish to tackle procedurally generated missions to earn a few credits. You must track down the Starfield mission boards scattered across the Settled Systems for that.

Where to Find Starfield Mission Boards

Starfield features a broad selection of mission board objectives, ranging from survey tasks to piracy quests, and they all pay thousands of credits. It’s a fantastic way to earn money in Starfield, and I built an entire character around this mechanic.

You will find the Starfield mission boards at the following key locations:

City/FactionMission Board Location
Akila CityFreestar Rangers HQ
Akila CityHitching Post
Crimson FleetThe Key
CydoniaBroken Spear
HopetownPit Stop
Neon CityAstral Lounge

Furthermore, you can find additional mission boards at:

Most bars/lounges in the game will have a mission board and bounty board.
