Where to Find Skill Magazines in Starfield

Similar to other Bethesda games, in Starfield, you will come across collectable magazines in the world that will give you permanent buffs and other bonuses to your character. These magazines can be found on any planet in normal areas where you would find a magazine. Each type of bonus has their own magazine name, which are then numbered and distributed among the systems. For example, All Mining Monthly Issues will give you tool-grip weapon damage. Some of these magazines may by in the same area but not in the same location, so make sure to look around.

The first one you will likely come across is Constellation Guide 01. This is the first magazine you see on the table behind Sarah Morgan when you enter the Constellation Lodge for the first time.

This article is a work in progress and will be updated as I discover more magazines! To submit one, please tweet me or email abbyhour@gmail.com
