Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition offers players numerous ways to earn credits, whether through FrontierNav’s passive income system or active exploration. However, as players progress, they may find themselves needing large sums of money quickly—whether for Skell upgrades, gear, or augmentations. Fortunately, there are fast and efficient methods to farm credits at nearly any stage of the game.
This guide will cover the best money-making strategies, focusing on repeatable Support Missions, optimal FrontierNav setups, and additional tips to maximize your earnings.
Before diving into active farming, players should optimize their FrontierNav network to generate passive income. Research Probes (especially Duplicator Probes and Booster Probes) can significantly increase credit generation over time.
Research Probes (R-Probes): Generate credits based on their placement.
Duplicator Probes (D-Probes): Double the output of adjacent probes.
Booster Probes (B-Probes): Increase the effectiveness of nearby probes.
Place Duplicator Probes next to high-value Research Probes (e.g., Gold or Silver Mining Sites).
Use Booster Probes to amplify earnings further.
Check FrontierNav regularly to collect accumulated credits.
By setting up an efficient probe network, players can earn thousands of credits per minute without lifting a finger.
For players who need large sums of credits quickly, Support Missions are the best option. These missions are repeatable, offer substantial rewards, and can be completed in minutes—some even in under a minute!
| Mission Name | Credits Reward | Level Requirement | Estimated Completion Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supply Run | 20,000 | Level 1 | ~1-2 minutes |
| View to a Drill | 40,000 | Level 10 | ~2-3 minutes |
| Mobile Artillery | 75,000 | Level 20 | ~1 minute (Best Early Game Farm) |
| The Rising Beasts | 100,000 | Level 30 | ~3-4 minutes |
| Confirming the Legend | 150,000 | Level 40 | ~4-5 minutes |
| Scouting Antropolis | 300,000 | Level 50 | ~2-3 minutes (Best Late Game Farm) |
Early Game (Level 20+): Mobile Artillery – At 75,000 credits per run and a completion time of under a minute, this is the most efficient early-game farm.
Late Game (Level 50+): Scouting Antropolis – The highest-paying mission, granting 300,000 credits per run. With a fast Skell, this can be completed in 2-3 minutes.
Go to the BLADE Barracks in NLA.
Interact with the Network Console.
Select "Support Missions" and pick the desired mission.
Complete the objective (usually defeating enemies or reaching a location).
Return to the console to claim rewards and repeat.
Regularly check your inventory for unused weapons, armor, and materials.
Some rare materials sell for high prices, especially those from Tyrants.
Many side quests offer one-time credit rewards (sometimes 50,000–200,000 credits).
Affinity Missions often reward valuable items that can be sold.
Some high-level enemies drop expensive loot that can be sold for profit.
By combining passive FrontierNav income with active Support Mission farming, players can amass millions of credits with minimal effort.
Early Game: Focus on Mobile Artillery (75,000 credits/minute).
Mid Game: Upgrade to The Rising Beasts (100,000 credits/run).
Late Game: Spam Scouting Antropolis (300,000 credits/run) for maximum efficiency.
With these strategies, you’ll never struggle for money in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition again!
