ARX 5000 icon

ARX icon

ARX is a virtual currency for Elite Dangerous that was implemented in the September Update across all platforms. It is used to acquire Livery and Commander Customisation items in the Frontier Store, and can be purchased outside the game or earned in-game.[1]

Up to 400 ARX can be earned each week,[2] and doing so only requires engaging with the game normally without needing to complete any specific or purpose-built activities. Earned ARX is instantly added to a player's balance and can be spent immediately or saved indefinitely.[1]

Item Prices

Individual cosmetic items are available to purchase with ARX at the following prices. Some items, such as Ship Kits and Commander customization items, are only available in bundles that include multiple related items.[3]

Item ARX Price Range
1 Decal 20 - 150
1 Paintjob for a Ship-Launched Fighter or the Scarab SRV 460 - 3,280
1 Paintjob for a Ship 620 - 5,520
1 Engine or Weapon Detailing Option 2,240
1 Name Plate Set (9 pieces) 2,250
1 Bobblehead 2,450 - 6,450
1 Holo-Me Suit Set or Outerwear Set (6 pieces) 5,200 - 6,550
1 COVAS Option 8,850
1 Ship Kit (12 - 16 pieces) 11,750 - 13,520

Earning ARX

Players can earn ARX through normal gameplay activities, such as exploring a new system, hauling cargo, or destroying other ships. Each activity rewards a small quantity of ARX, and a breakdown of recent earnings can be seen on the main menu. Logging-in to the game but remaining inactive will not earn any ARX, since none is rewarded based on time spent in-game. A maximum of 400 ARX can be earned per week.[3]
