Like most other resources in Starfield, Gold can be found on the surface or in the caves of planets. Of course, not all planets have Gold - that would be too easy. Below are some planets where we've discovered the valuable resource:
| Planet | Star System |
| Kalira | Cheyenne |
| Cruth | Narion |
| Stellis A | Cheyenne |
| Indum IV-d | Indum |
| Jaffa II | Jaffa |
| Porrima V-c | Porrima |
While exploring these planets, you can find many Gold deposits, so carefully explore as many areas as possible. Additionally, you can try to acquire Au in other ways, for example:
Regardless of the method of acquisition you ultimately focus on, you'll need to spend some time collecting Gold. Alternatively, you can save time by purchasing Gold (Au) from merchants.
If you need a lot of resources, it definitely pays to first improve your trading skill to save Credits. Gold merchants are a bit harder to find than others, but we've found a few for you:
As you can see, Gold merchants in Starfield are located in various cities. Thus, you have multiple locations where you can buy Gold. Once you've purchased all available Gold stocks, we recommend finding a place to sleep. This way, when you're rested, you can refresh the merchant's offer and see if Gold is available again.
