No Mans Sky How to Get and Spend Quicksilver
Useful Information on Quicksilver
Quicksilver is not a microtransaction currency. You can obtain Quicksilver through missions at the Nexus.
Daily Quicksilver Missions
You can complete one 400 Quicksilver mission per day, if you miss one, you will be able to do two the next day, up to three available missions. The secondary reward and type of mission refresh every 10 minutes.
Weekend Missions
Weekend missions run from Friday 6pm UTC until Monday 9am UTC and offer 1,800 Quicksilver. You can only complete this once per week. This mission will be the same type and take place in the same system for everyone. The secondary rewards will still refresh every 10 minutes.
Spending Quicksilver
You can spend Quicksilver at Polo’s Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (QSC), also found in the Space Anomaly. While most Quicksilver items are cosmetic, there are exceptions such as: Void Eggs, base building parts, starship trails and figurines for your cockpit. Unless the item is consumable (e.g. fireworks, Void Eggs), all purchased items in the QSC shop are unlocked account-wide, instead of per save.
The QSC is also where you redeem Expedition and Twitch rewards some of which cannot be purchased with Quicksilver.
Community Research Milestones
Community Research rewards are unlocked in phases by the community completing any type of Nexus mission, not just Quicksilver missions. When a phase is complete, a new item is unlocked for purchase at the QSC.
All gamemodes and players collectively contribute to the progression of Community Research.
Alternative sources of Quicksilver
You can receive Quicksilver by speaking to Nada periodically during the main storyline and/or through the condensed stellar ice pulse/space encounter.
