Wanderwell

Wanderwell overview

The Starfield Wanderwell is a prefabricated Starfield ship with a starting mass of 622, and a credit value of 81196.

Unlike most other ships, you cannot buy or steal this ship. The only way to get the Wanderwell is to take the Kid Stuff Starfield trait and speak with your parents. As you progress through the main quest, you will eventually receive a note through Noel from Dad. Dad will excitedly tell you that something amazing has happened, and you should “drop everything” and head over to him immediately.

On speaking with Dad, you will be given the Wanderwell ship. Despite being free, the Wanderwell is a marked improvement over the Frontier that you start with, making it one of the best early-game ships.

Once you have the Wanderwell ship in your possession, you can upgrade and customize it with Starfield ship components at numerous spaceyards and ship vendors for a fee.

Wanderwell stats

A ship’s hull determines how much damage it can take before it is destroyed. The Wanderwell has a hull of 502, and can be viewed as a white bar in the bottom-right corner of your screen when flying your ship in space.

You can use Ship Parts to repair your hull inside and outside of combat, but you may want to install a better shield generator to give yourself additional breathing space.

The Wanderwell has the following stats:

Ship class: A

Reactor power: 20

Crew capacity: 2

Gravity jump distance:  27 LY

Shield: 455

Laser weapon strength: This ship does not come with laser weapons.

Ballistic weapon strength: 26

Missile weapon strength: This ship does not come with missile weapons.

Particle beam weapon strength: This ship does not come with particle beam weapons.

Electromagnetic weapon strength: 36

One of the most important ship stats you’ll want to keep an eye on is the cargo capacity. The larger a ship’s cargo capacity, the more you can store aboard it. This is critical for building outpost components, completing Starfield research projects, and crafting weapon mods and armor mods.

The Wanderwell already comes with a cargo capacity of 800. However, you can expand on this by installing additional ship components.

Wanderwell locations and shops

You can acquire the Wanderwell from the following NPCs:

If you want to get the Wanderwell for free and without hunting it down, your best bet is to use a Starfield console command to spawn the ship you nearby.

To get the Wanderwell for free, open the console command window and input the following command:

player.placeatme 00038B42

This will spawn the ship nearby. However, because of the size of most Starfield ships, there is a strong likelihood this will spawn the entrance to the ship beneath terrain. As a result, use the tcl command to turn clipping off, and allow yourself to fly to the ship’s entrance. If you open the door from the inside, you’ll be able to board and commandeer the newly spawned Wanderwell. If the door is locked, use the unlock command on the door to bypass the lock.
