How to get and spend Quicksilver in No Man's Sky
Quicksilver is a rare and valuable currency in No Man's Sky, primarily used to purchase unique cosmetic items, companion customization options, and special technologies from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion on the Space Anomaly. Acquiring and spending it wisely is key to personalizing your interstellar experience.
The main method for obtaining Quicksilver is by completing daily missions offered by the Specialist Polo and Priest Entity Nada aboard the Space Anomaly. These missions typically involve tasks such as scanning fauna, exploring planets, or participating in community research goals.
