Every Wikelo contract in this chain gates behind one shared prerequisite — "Wikelo Arrive to System" — confirmed identical across multiple contracts pulled directly from the game's own mission data.
Wikelo Emporium runs roughly 90 separate contracts spanning ship variants, weapon/vehicle cosmetics and armor skins — this is a big, varied barter economy, not a single quest line.
Requirement bundles deliberately cross mining, salvage, combat and other mission chains (e.g. Executive Hangar comp-boards showing up in a Wikelo ship contract) — expect to draw on progress from elsewhere in the game, not just Wikelo-specific grinding.
Reputation is a real tracked ladder (New Customer → Armour → Wolf) with numeric thresholds, not a vague "trust level".
Where you are going
Wikelo Emporium Station
Browse the current contract board and complete hand-ins.
Personal hangar freight elevator
Consolidates physical cargo and containers before travel to the Emporium.
Collection source site
Obtains one verified trade material named in the active contract.
What you need and why
Keeps physical materials together and lets the group move a staged hand-in safely.
Alternative: Several small ships only if each item and handoff is tracked.Moves loose cargo and containers through elevators, hangars and grids.
Alternative: Vehicle or ship tractor beams where the location permits.Wikelo's contract text is short and stylized — a written checklist of the exact names/counts prevents costly re-runs.
No substitute listedSome source routes (e.g. contested-zone materials) expose a slow cargo ship to combat on the way back.
Alternative: Use quieter routes and move smaller verified batches.Keeps small physical items separate from ordinary mission loot.
Alternative: Use clearly separated ship-grid positions and a written manifest.What to look for
Confirm this specific mission is complete before assuming any other Wikelo contract is actually available.
e.g. "Mirai Guardian QI Wikelo Special" or "Drake Golem Wikelo Work Special" — read it from the contract UI, don't assume from the ship family name.
Comp-boards, faction medals and similar items from OTHER mission chains showing up in a Wikelo bundle is normal, not a bug.
New Customer (0) → Armour "Very Good Customer" (340) → Wolf "Very Best Customer" (999) — check this actually incremented after a hand-in.
Watch for the cargo to actually register at the Emporium end, not just leave your ship.
When it goes wrong
Confirm "Wikelo Arrive to System" is actually completed — it gates the entire chain and is easy to overlook since it doesn't look like the "real" content.
Compare its exact inventory label with the live contract text — Wikelo bundles often mix items from unrelated chains, so a near-identical material is not automatically a substitute.
This has been unreliable this patch — retry with a single small delivery before committing a full haul, and keep a screenshot of the pre-delivery contract state.
Reopen the accepted contract and use its marker; the exact interaction point can shift between patches.
Confirm the completion message first, then check ship claim (ASOP) for vehicle rewards or personal inventory for items before repeating the trade.
Rewards and progression
↳ Exclusive "Wikelo Special" / "Wikelo Work Special" ship variants (e.g. Mirai Guardian QI, Drake Golem) — not available through any other in-game source
↳ Weapon, vehicle and armor cosmetic unlocks
↳ Wikelo Favor and Wikelo Emporium faction reputation toward higher-tier contracts
Departure checklist
□Complete "Wikelo Arrive to System".
□Open the Emporium contract board and pick one contract.
□Copy its exact item names and counts.
□Assign one verified source per item across the team.
□Record every pickup and holder.
□Consolidate at a secure freight interface and test with a small delivery.
□Hand in the full bundle at the Emporium.
□Confirm the named reward and reputation gain.
- 01
Complete "Wikelo Arrive to System"
This is the actual mobiGlas mission (Collection type) that gates the whole chain — both example contracts below list it as their only prerequisite. Nothing else in the Emporium becomes visible until it's done, so don't waste time hunting for other Wikelo work first.
- 02
Browse the Emporium's contract board
Wikelo Emporium (HQ: Wikelo Emporium Station, faction focus "Barter") runs roughly 90 distinct contracts, split across three flavors: rare ship variants ("Wikelo Special"/"Wikelo Work Special"), weapon and vehicle cosmetic mods, and armor/skin unlocks. Every contract is written in Wikelo's own voice — short, broken-English, and vague about exact quantities ("Bring. I make.") — so treat the in-game contract text as the source of truth over any written guide, this one included.
- 03
Read one contract's real requirements
For example, "Guardian take down ship" (reward: Mirai Guardian QI Wikelo Special) asks for a bundle spanning multiple different systems — Wikelo Favor, a rare Grade AA salvage/loot material, comp-boards from the Executive Hangar chain, and a UEE medal — which is typical: Wikelo contracts deliberately cross mining, combat, salvage and other mission chains rather than asking for one commodity. Copy the exact item names and counts from your own accepted contract before splitting work.
- 04
Assign collection routes
Split miners, salvagers, combat looters and haulers only after each person knows the exact item they are responsible for. Use the relevant mining scanner, cargo manifest, loot inventory or salvage interface to verify the item name before extracting it — a near-identical-sounding material is not the same line item.
- 05
Consolidate through a safe inventory path
Move materials to a protected personal hangar, station storage or freight elevator appropriate for their container type. Recount after each transfer and avoid mixing required items with sale cargo.
⚠ Freight-elevator hand-ins have been unreliable this patch — contracted cargo can fail to register at the destination. Try a small test delivery before committing a full haul. - 06
Hand in at the Emporium and confirm the reward
Bring the complete bundle to Wikelo and confirm the trade. A successful hand-in grants both the named reward item (a specific ship variant or cosmetic, not a random pick) and Wikelo Favor / faction reputation — the ladder runs "New Customer" (0 rep) → "Very Good Customer" (340, unlocks the label "Armour") → "Very Best Customer" (999, "Wolf"). Check your reputation screen to confirm it actually moved before dispersing the party.
Field notes
↳ "Wikelo Arrive to System" is the one contract worth doing solo and early — everything else is gated behind it.
↳ Read the exact reward name in the contract UI before you start — "Wikelo Special" and "Wikelo Work Special" variants are named per-contract, not interchangeable.
↳ Requirement bundles mix material types on purpose; don't assume a contract is single-activity just because Wikelo's text is short.
↳ Do not carry every rare item on unrelated missions or in a single unsecured ship.
↳ Try a small test delivery through the freight elevator before committing a full haul — hand-ins have been flaky this patch.
Watch the route
Video mechanics can age between patches. Use the written route above as the current checklist.
