Vy'keen daggers?

[Vrede]

Any reliable way to get those? I've talked to several Vy'keens about "testing language skills" and opening several green containers on planets. I've gotten about 20 of the other things with purple background, but no Vy'keen daggers. I got a quest where I need two(2) of those and I havn't been able to progress it for far to long now.

You can quite often buy them from NPC pilots at space stations or deep space encounters

[Vrede]

I've checked the npc that land in stations or at trade terminals also. They never have any of the purple background stuff to sell, in my experience. Maybe I should keep cheking those also anyway.
I've gotten a trade encounter in space once, but at that time I didn't need the daggers.
Thanks for the tip though.

npc Pilots at trade posts in vy'keen systems sell daggers

[taniwhat]

Green crates quite often have them. In crates on derelict freighters. Just a random drop.

[Vrede]

Okay, I'm possitive that I've checked pilots at trading post before, but right now I found one more and one of the pilots had the daggers. Finally.
Thanks all.

This is correct ^^^

On the planet, use your economy scanner to locate a Trade Outpost. The same applies to all three races:
Vy’keen: dagger & effigy
Korvax: cube & casing
Gek: relic & geknip

Build yourself a couple dozen green "crates" aboard your freighter or at your base.

Whenever you find yourself needing a faction relic, just go empty all the crates to get some.

Cargo drops on vykeen planets.

I sometimes find them randomly on planets, in a crate, sometimes underground (you dig it up). Always sold them as they were useless.

[DennisM the Diligent]

I get Vykeen daggers (and all the other purple relics) regularly from frigate missions from my freighter.

Once you've played through a few times and know the requirements for the base-building quests (Scientist's Convergence Cube, Armourer's Vy'keen Daggers) you learn to stockpile a couple of them before you start the quests.

Because Murphy's Law applies: once you need them for the quests, RNG never gives them to you.

Current save (restart from 4.0) I forgot, and the daggers took me a couple of days to collect.

Green damaged containers or on-planet Trading Post pilots are the best for early-game, Derelict Freighter locker-looting is the best hit rate (for me) late-game.

• Trading Post NPCs, Vy'keen systems especially.
  
• Locked green salvage crates found in the landscape and at building locations in rooms, bases, freighters or elsewhere.
  
• Atlas Pass rooms either on planets or at space stations
  
• Derelict freighters.
  
• Answering questions correctly at Ancient Ruins (Vy'keen locations especially).
  
• Maybe available at crashed freighters, minor outposts, settlement markets or settlement NPC pilots.

there ya go... and the red barrels, too... since 4.0, i've been getting two searches at a time from each of the barrels... then not too long after, i can hit'em up again... maybe an hour real time? i'm not sure but it is pretty fast...

[Asmosis]

I'm not sure if its still the case, but simply repositioning your freighter resets everything on board so you can loot it again. And yes, definitely the red barrels that need atlas pass v1 to keep your warp fuel full.
