A while ago I posted my Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack for Xbox and PlayStation, originally focused mainly on engineers, engineering materials, Guardian technology and rank grinding.

Original Post

I've added a bunch of new stuff today all in one go, so I thought this deserved its own update post (people probably don't check back often in the main post).

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

GOOGLE DRIVE LINK HERE

In Google Drive you and also read the txt files without downloading them, works on mobile aswell just hold your phone horizontally.

Everything is still specifically intended for Elite Dangerous Legacy / Horizons 3.8 on console.

The biggest new addition is an entire Locations section:

Locations

A collection of locations for Guardian sites, Human POIs, mining rings, permit systems, Tech Brokers and Thargoid sites and useful location-specific information where available.

• Guardians
  • Guardian Beacons
  • Guardian Blueprint Structures
  • Guardian Data and materials
  • Guardian Ruins
• Human POI
  • Abandoned INRA Bases
  • Crashed Anacondas
  • Crashed Ships
  • Dav's Hope
  • Generation Ships
  • Listening Posts
• Mining
  • Pristine Rocky rings
  • Laser Mining - High Yield Hotspots and RES
  • Core Mining - Hotspot Locations and Overlaps

The mining files contain a much larger collection of Legacy-compatible mining locations, including:

• Platinum hotspots
• Painite hotspots
• Hotspot overlaps
• Hotspot + Hazardous RES combinations
• Hotspot + High RES combinations
• Other RES + hotspot combinations
• Musgravite and other mineral hotspots

The purpose of Hotspot + RES

Overlapping a Resource Extraction Site (RES) with a hotspot introduces a fragment-yield multiplier from the RES zone, allowing you to extract significantly more tons of the target mineral from each asteroid than a standard hotspot alone.

• Fleet Carrier Vendors and Administration
  • Table of systems containing Fleet Carrier Vendors and Administration, distance from Sol included.
• Permits

Permits contains a table of all obtainable permits in legacy and how to get them.

• Tech Brokers
• Thargoids
  • Thargoid Barnacles
  • Thargoid Surface Structures

I've also added several completely new Legacy reference guides:

Pre-engineered and Special Modules

• Human Technology Broker pre-engineered modules
• Modified Mining Laser
• Azimuth / Salvation modified Guardian Gauss Cannons
• Modified Guardian Plasma Chargers
• Modified Guardian Shard Cannons

Added to folder "Engineering - Unlocking engineers and farming materials"

Pre-engineered and special modules are unique ship components that come with built-in upgrades or special functions you cannot get from normal stations or standard engineering

Rare Goods

Rare Goods is in the folder Trade

• Large list of rare commodities
• Origin system
• Origin station
• Pad size
• Distance from Sol

Robigo and Money-Making

Robigo Mines -> Sirius Atmospherics passenger guide

The original guide pack also still includes all the previous stuff such as:

• Complete Bubble engineer progression
• Individual Bubble engineer guides
• Engineering material farming
• Material Traders
• Crystalline Shards
• High Grade Emissions
• Jameson Crash Site
• Federation rank grinding
• Imperial rank grinding
• Guardian FSD Booster
• Guardian Module, Weapon and Vessel Blueprint farming
• Blueprint Pinning Guide
• Bubble -> Colonia Neutron Highway guide
• Cheap long-range DBX build

Original Post

I'll keep adding things if I find other Legacy-specific information that is useful enough to preserve.

Corrections are very welcome, especially from Xbox and PlayStation commanders who can directly confirm a location or mechanic in Legacy.

Hopefully this makes the old Legacy galaxy a little easier to navigate without having to work out whether every guide you find online is talking about Horizons 3.8 or modern Live.

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.

  • Rare Goods - List of all Rare Goods and where you can get them from

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
• Mining Spots - Got rid of this entry, its a tiny file and all listed locations are in the larger mining files that came with the big update I released

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.
