Starfield: How to Get Neodymium (Nd)

You can get neodymium by harvesting its ore nodes on planets and purchasing the resource in general stores. Buying neodymium from shops like Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis and Shepherd’s in Akila City is a quick way to get the material, while visiting planets like Antharum in Cheyenne lets you get it for free.

Where to Buy Neodymium

Most general stores and ore shops in Starfield sell dozens of materials at various price points and quantities. In their resource section, scroll down until you see neodymium. If you don’t see any right away, wait on a chair or bench for 24 in-game hours to refresh the shop’s supply.

• Mining League in Neon, Volii Alpha, Volii.
• Shepherd’s General Store in Akila City, Akila, Cheyenne.
• Midtown Minerals in Akila City, Akila, Cheyenne.

Neodymium typically sells for 15-18 credits per unit, with a dozen available per shop rotation. These values fluctuate daily, so check multiple shops for the best deals.
