CStone Universal Item Finder Overview
Locating specific weapons, armor sets, ship components, or personal gear in Star Citizen can be time-consuming. Shipyards, weapon shops, and armor vendors are scattered across planetary landing zones, space stations, and remote outposts, each maintaining distinct regional inventories.
The Cornerstone Universal Item Finder is a community-maintained database that indexes every purchasable, lootable, or rent-able item in the 'Verse, providing exact buy locations, prices, and stock conditions.
Navigating the Item Finder
- Search Bar: Type the exact or partial name of any item (e.g., FS-9 Light Machine Gun, P4-AR, Novikov Armor, S1 Laser Repeater).
- Category Filtering: Filter searches by specific asset classes:
- FPS Items: Weapons, attachments, armor sets, flight suits, and medical gear.
- Ship Components: Quantum drives, shields, coolers, power plants, and ship weapons.
- Commodities & Supplies: MREs, medical pens, ammo magazines, and utility tools.
- Paints & Cosmetics: Vehicle liveries and personal apparel.
How to Read Search Results & Plan Runs
1. In-Game Availability
Search entries clearly distinguish how an item can be acquired:
- Buy Locations: Lists spaceports, outposts, or stations with active shop terminals selling the item, including exact aUEC prices.
- Rent Locations: Details rental kiosks and daily costs.
- Loot Only: Flags items that cannot be purchased at shops and must be scavenged from enemy bodies, bunker crates, or wreck sites.
2. Location Hierarchy
Results map out precise shop paths so you do not waste time wandering landing zones:
System ➔ Planet/Station ➔ Shop Name (e.g., Stanton ➔ ArcCorp / Area 18 ➔ Cubby Blast) (e.g., Stanton ➔ CRU-L1 Ambitious Dream ➔ Platinum Bay)
Shopping Run Optimization Tips
- Consolidate Stops: Before setting out on a gearing run, search for all desired loadout pieces on CStone. Cross-reference vendor locations to buy multiple items at a single hub (e.g., picking up weapons and armor together at Cubby Blast on Area 18 or Center Mass at New Babbage).
- Check Stock & Versioning: CStone updates data directly from live patch builds. Ensure your search reflects the current live or PTU patch branch to account for shop inventory rotations.
- Combine with Erkul: Use Erkul.games to theorycraft ship component builds, then use CStone to double-check local vendor stock, alternative loot locations, or regional price variations.
