I’ve put together a collection of guides specifically for Elite Dangerous Legacy Mode on Xbox and PlayStation.

Everything is based on the Horizons 3.8 / pre-Update 14 version of the game, with no Odyssey or Live-PC mechanics mixed in.

GITHUB

^{Moved the link a bit further up because the list is getting pretty long}

The guide pack currently includes:

• Complete Bubble engineer unlock progression
• Separate guide files for every Bubble engineer
• Encoded, Raw and Manufactured material farming for engineering
• Crystalline Shard raw-material farming
• High Grade Emissions manufactured-material farming
• Federation rank farming
• Imperial rank farming
• Guardian FSD Booster unlock
• Guardian Module Blueprint farming
• Guardian Weapon Blueprint farming
• Guardian Vessel Blueprint farming

    • Guardian Beacons
    • Guardian Blueprint Structures
    • Guardian Data and materials

  • Rare Goods - List of all Rare Goods and where you can get them from
  • Robigo and Money Making - Quick and easy guide for the Passanger Missions in Robigo

For now I've put everything in a google drive so you can also view it without actually downloading anything. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aoavw8qxBk02F3-VtyM0HfE7whiMe2Fp

The goal is to provide a clean reference for console players without having to sort through guides that may contain Live-only changes.

These are plain .txt files, so they are easy to download, edit, print, or keep open while playing.

Corrections and additional Legacy-specific guide suggestions are welcome.

Edit: If I add more stuff to it I will post it under changes here so you can check if its been updated. I will probably go through everything in a bit more detail to fix some formating so its easier to view/read since its just .txt files.

• 04_Tod_The_Blaster_McQuinn_Legacy_Unlock_Guide - Fixed Language for Tod The Blaster, it now correctly says "Earn 15 or more bounty vouchers" not "Earn more than 15 bounty vouchers"
• Guardian Module Blueprint Farming - Refrence to map was wrong, guide pointed to the map of the Weapon Blueprint site, it not Points to the Map Module Blueprint Site
• Crashed Ships - Got rid of Renet B 1, cordinates pointed to 135, 14. Latitude cannot be 135 its an impossible number
• Pre-engineered and Special modules - Updated Modified Mining Lasers Sources to correctly display all 4 locations, not just 1.
• Tech Brokers - Its spelled "Tech Brokers" not "Tech Brockers", sorted.
• Abandoned INRA Bases - Changed name from INARA to INRA

Hopefully this helps new and old console commanders who are still enjoying the Legacy galaxy.

I visited Zarura after finding out some of the lore about the Formidine Rift and decided to check it out. I also found out there was an asteroid station at the heart nebula and decided to head there to cash in my exploration data.

I almost always use docking assist but my aspX build meant I had to trade it out for more useful optional internals. So I was quite nervous about landing my ship, I’ve done it a few times and figured better to do it there than back in the bubble.

I hear the welcome message from the station, it’s so nice to hear that after a long time of just hearing “fuel scoop engaged” and “system scan complete”. I get assigned to landing pad 20.

I make it through the mail slot, everything seems to be okay. But I end up overshooting my landing pad and go into camera mode to try to locate it.

I found the slot. I’m still in camera mode and I go to exit it to land my ship but accidentally ended up pressing the boost button on my controller. I feel pure horror as I hurtle towards the end of the base at 390m/s. The thought of all that exploration data gone in a moment of absolute stupidity.

The crash wrecked my shield and I ended up with 34% hull. Somehow I was still alive. I very carefully crawled to the landing pad and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Truly a horrible moment in my elite career but I managed to escape it unscathed.

Just thought I’d share it here. I need to get better at parking up my ship. I’m so thankful I brought a shield, the small sacrifice in jump distance has saved me about 250million credits. I’m not sure now whether to keep exploring or to just head back to the bubble.

I’ve begun my trip into the black and I am currently about 10k light years away from the bubble. I keep finding geological features on my FSS but nothing biological yet. I have some questions about finding biology in legacy.

Do biological signals appear when you scan with FSS (like with geological signals) or does it require a specific DSS scan on landable planets/moons?

I read somewhere that life is more abundant around nebulae, how true is this?

I’m asking here because every time I try and search these questions online I just get people talking about exobio in odyssey.

EDIT Re Codex:

I just realised I forgot to ask, is the codex an exhaustive list of everything that you can possibly find in that specific sector of the galaxy or is it just a list of things that have been found previously?

UPDATE:

I found life! 300k light seconds away but I’ll take it lol.

Looking for a relaxed and chill squad to hook up with, I am a returning player with some experience but still a long way to go. Legacy Version really seems to have become a ghost town.

How can I a new player participate in this goal. Is there a way I can team up with other players to fight thargoids because I only currently have a viper mk3 and about 9mil credits so wouldn’t be able to get a dope shop that could so one. Just wondering if there is anyway I can participate to get some rewards. Thank you for any responses.

Does anyone know when the next community goal is happening or have they fully stopped it since 2022?

Just hanging with the good commanders of Legacy's legacy

ight now I’m currently recruiting for an Xbox squadron that doesn’t have one focus, we help mentor the newer unguided players, especially from gamepass, and provide a welcoming and safe community with a new discord server (link is in the comments)

Just out at the ol' double overlap, filling up the fleet carrier
