Introduction

Welcome to my Star Atlas Marketplace Guide for 2025! The Galactic Marketplace is your go-to hub for buying, selling, and trading in the #StarAtlas #P2E metaverse. Whether you’re looking for resources, SDUs, or NFT ships, this guide will help you navigate the marketplace like a pro. Let’s dive in, Onigiri-style!

1. What is the Star Atlas Galactic Marketplace?

• Overview: The Galactic Marketplace is an MMO-style order book where players can buy, sell, and trade items directly with others (https://support.staratlas.com).
• Key Features:
  • Trade resources (e.g., Iron Ore, Carbon), Survey Data Units (SDUs), and NFT ships.
  • Only 3 clicks to buy or sell, making transactions quick and easy (https://staratlas.com).
  • Integrated with StarPath rewards, allowing you to use ATLAS earnings to acquire assets (Web ID: 1).
• Why It Matters:
  • A central hub for economic activity in Star Atlas, connecting gameplay loops like crafting and scanning (see my CRAFTING XP and SDU XP guides).
  • Impacts the game’s political and economic layers through player-driven decisions (Web ID: 1).

2. How to Use the Star Atlas Marketplace

2.1 Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

• Set Up a Solana Wallet:
  • Use a Solana-compatible wallet (e.g., Phantom) to connect to the marketplace (https://support.staratlas.com).
  • Ensure you have ATLAS or SOL for transactions.
• Access the Marketplace:
  • Visit https://play.staratlas.com/market and connect your wallet.

2.2 Step 2: Browse and Search for Items

• Search Marketplace:
  • Use the ‘Search Marketplace’ field to filter items (e.g., “Iron Ore,” “Pearce X6”) (Web ID: 0).
  • Navigate through dropdown menus to browse categories like resources, ships, and NFTs.
• Check Prices:
  • View buyer bids and seller offers in ATLAS.
  • Example: I found a Pearce X6 with a buyer bid of 33,100 ATLAS (as of April 2025).

2.3 Step 3: Buy or Sell Items

• Buying Items:
  • Select an item (e.g., Iron Ore for crafting) and click “Buy” to match a seller’s offer.
  • Confirm the transaction with your wallet (3 clicks total) (Web ID: 1).
  • Example: I bought 100 Iron Ore for 500 ATLAS to use in crafting.
• Selling Items:
  • List your item (e.g., SDUs from scanning) by setting a price in ATLAS.
  • Confirm the listing with your wallet.
  • Example: I sold 150 SDUs for 750 ATLAS after a scanning session (see my SDU XP guide).

3. Strategies to Maximize Your Marketplace Experience

• Monitor Market Trends:
  • Check buyer bids and seller offers to find the best deals.
  • Example: Resources like Iron Ore are cheaper during low-demand periods.
• Use StarPath Rewards:
  • Redeem ATLAS from the StarPath program to buy assets without spending extra (Web ID: 1).
  • Example: I used my StarPath ATLAS to buy a Pearce X6 for scanning.
• Trade High-Demand Items:
  • Sell items like SDUs or rare NFTs (e.g., Ogrika Thripid) when demand is high.
  • Example: I sold an Ogrika Thripid during a peak period for 66,000 ATLAS (buyer bid).
• Combine with Gameplay Loops:
  • Buy resources for crafting (see my CRAFTING XP guide) or sell SDUs from scanning (see my SDU XP guide).
  • Example: I bought Iron Ore to craft components, then sold the components for a profit.
• High-Demand Resources:
• High-Demand NFTs (Ships):
  • Ogrika Thripid (Large, Legendary): A top choice for crafting due to its massive cargo capacity. Buyer bids reach 66,000 ATLAS, but sellers are rare.
  • Rainbow Om (Medium, Epic): Versatile for crafting and scanning, with buyer bids at 53,200 ATLAS. Hard to find due to no sellers.
  • Pearce X6 (Small, Rare): Great for scanning (see my SDU XP guide), with buyer bids at 33,100 ATLAS. Seller prices are high (up to 472,873 ATLAS).
  • The 2025 DAO Council Election (March 24) boosted demand for ships and resources.
  • The 2024 scanning update increased SDU supply, stabilizing prices.
  • Monitor the marketplace for price fluctuations, especially during community events.
