Dune Awakening Beginner Guide: How Should You Survive On Arrakis?

Although Dune Awakening is a survival game, players need water, electricity and a base to block the sun, but Dune Awakening Solari is also very important. Many players may think that Solari, which can be got in the later stages of the game, is not much more difficult than grabbing a handful of sand. When you use Solari, it will slip through your fingers as quickly as sand.

Therefore, if you keep your resources abundant, you will not completely use up your Solari, and knowing some farm Solari methods can make you more relaxed in Arrakis.

What Can Solari Do?

Solari is the most common currency. It can be traded with merchants like gold in other games. You can find resources or part of schematics from merchants, which are very important at any time.

In addition, before you get your own ornithopter, you can also take the trade station ornithopter to various areas on the map, and each flight will consume 2500 Solari.

In addition, as a glorious citizen of the empire, you can’t escape the tax bureau that follows you everywhere. When you build a sub-fief in an area outside the south Hagga Basin, you have to pay taxes. The more sub-fiefs you have, the higher the taxes. If you don’t turn in Solari in time, your base shield will be revoked and everything inside will disappear.

How To Farm Solari?

Imperial Test Stations

There are large or small Imperial Test Stations scattered throughout the map of Arrakis. They are full of enemies and treasure chests. This can be regarded as a dungeon in other games. As long as you don’t die in it, you can get various Dune Awakening items, Solari, and schematics.

Because of the different sizes and difficulties of Imperial Test Stations, you can get 15K to 20K Solari, as well as advanced materials and schematics in some large Imperial Test Stations. If you are confident in your combat power, it is recommended to focus on farming Imperial Test Stations.

Intel Areas

Some areas on the map allow you to get Intel Points. Players need Intel Points to get more schematics to improve technology. In these areas are mini-fortresses with some guards. Clearing these areas will earn your Intel Points and about a few thousand Solari. There are currently about dozens of intelligence points. Clearing these areas will accumulate millions of Solari.

Bandit Camps

Basically, there will be hundreds of Solari in the treasure chest of each Bandit Camps. Although the number is not large, the advantage is that the enemies here are not very powerful and are everywhere on the map. Once you meet them, you can kil; them all, go in and search for items, and sometimes you will get unexpected gains.

Trading

Solari that can be got through trading is much more than you think. You must know that this game has tens of thousands of players online, and there will be many new players joining. Therefore, whether it is schematics, weapons, or vehicles, there will be players who need them, because you need to find a lot of resources to build these things yourself, which is very time-consuming.

You can sell some extra items or unique blueprints that you don’t need, because many players do this, but if you want to make more money this way, you need to understand the market trends and what items players generally need.

For now, the most in demand in the trading station is auto parts, which you can find in the Imperial Test Station or make yourself. You can make a lot of Dune Awakening Solari for each one you sell. For example, a Buggy Storage Mk5 can currently be sold for 25,000 Solari.

The second is unique items. You can often get schematics of some unique items in Imperial Test Station. If you make it, the price is usually between 20K and 1,000K. If you sell schematics, they rarely exceed 10K, which is a big difference. You can also see schematics worth 100K, but it’s hard to sell.

I recommend selling finished products, but some players prefer to buy blueprints directly because this saves Solari. You can first see which unique item sells the best and then work hard to cultivate it.

But be careful not to sell your spices. Spices are the most valuable items in the game and have many uses. You will hardly get any benefit from exchanging them for Solari.

Contracts

If you don’t want to waste your time on trading, there is another way to get Solari, that is contracts. You can think of them as side quests, and each contract reward contains thousands of Solari.

Some contracts come from trainers. By completing their tasks, you can not only get Solari, but also unlock the skill tree of the corresponding class, killing two birds with one stone.

If you have the time and patience, the best way to farm Dune Awakening Solari is to trade with other players. This won’t waste too much of your time, and you can specify a farming route to search for the resources and schematics that all players need most at the moment to improve your farming efficiency.

No Time Jump

Unlike similar games such as Animal Crossing New Horizons, all major progress in the game is locked to real time. You can’t speed up time at will to get to the date you want, and you will be given a rather stern warning at the beginning of the game that doing so may permanently damage your save data and also cause you to be banned from multiplayer games.

Most tasks or activities in the game require you to wait until the next real-life day, and sometimes even more than one day, so the game progresses very slowly. This can be a pro or con, depending on your gaming time and preferences.

This also means that in order to make progress, and you have to play every day, which is a very special gaming experience, as if these characters live their own lives on the other side of the screen.

Besides 4th Inning Boss Choice Pack, which allowing players to select the boss, there is another noteworthy reward, which is 93 OVR Adam Dunn Milestone. This card has very high attributes and cannot be traded with MLB The Show 25 stubs.

93 OVR Adam Dunn Milestone

• Contact Right: 98
• Contact Left: 79
• Power Right: 125
• Power Left: 91
• Vision: 52
• Discipline: 107
• Clutch: 92
• Bunt: 35
• Drag Bunt: 25
• Durability: 99

This card represents Adam Troy Dunn’s time with Reds. His primary position is left fielder, followed by first baseman. Adam Duun has been selected to All-Star Game twice, in 2002 and 2012, and has been inducted into Hall of Fame.

He bats left-handed and can accurately focus on pitches to the right. And his right hand power attribute reaches an amazing 125, which allows him to hit home runs. But this is not his upper limit, he also has 8 quirks. As a free card, he has surpassed 99% of the cards.

4th Inning Program Bosses

94 OVR Hank Greenberg All-star

• Contact Right: 94
• Contact Left: 90
• Power Right: 104
• Power Left: 109
• Vision: 67
• Discipline: 97
• Clutch: 95
• Bunt: 52
• Drag Bunt: 45
• Durability: 97

Hank Greenberg is the first baseball player of Jewish descent in American history. He spent most of his career with Tigers. Hank Greenberg was selected to All-Star Game five times and won World Series championship with the team twice. He was a baseball star in the 1930s.

Hank Greenberg’s primary position is first baseman. He is good at swinging with his right hand, but he can hit the ball stably regardless of whether the ball comes from the left or right. But even with 9 quirks on this card, he still ranks only sixth among first basemen, while Adam Dunn with 93 OVR ranks fourth.

94 OVR Derek Jeter All-Star

• Contact Right: 120
• Contact Left: 108
• Power Right: 80
• Power Left: 82
• Vision: 80
• Discipline: 80
• Clutch: 120
• Bunt: 50
• Drag Bunt: 43
• Durability: 98

Derek Jeter has spent his entire career with Yankees. As a shortstop, he hit the most hits and is still Yankees’ hit leader. He was elected to Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 with a 99% vote rate.

This card is also the most valuable of the three Boss cards. He currently ranks first among MLB 25 shortstops. His high contact attribute allows him to make contact with the ball steadily, and his strength attribute of around 80 is enough for him to hit. And his Vision attribute has reached 80, which allows him to play well in higher difficulty.

94 OVR Nolan Ryan All-Star

• Stamina: 112
• H/9: 101
• K/9: 102
• BB/9: 55
• HR/9: 86
• Pitch Clutch: 108
• Control: 65
• Velocity: 99
• Break: 99

Nolan Ryan has played for many teams, and this card represents his time with California Angels. His 22 wins and 16 losses in 1974 are still a record that Angels have not broken.

The starting pitchers in MLB 25 are all very strong, and 94 OVR Nolan Ryan ranks third among them. He is good at 4 pitching methods, but none of them are very high in control attributes.

You can get two of the bosses for free through 4th Inning Program. I recommend Nolan Ryan and Derek Jeter. All three of them are worth around 30,000 stubs. If you have enough stubs, you can go to the trade market to unlock the last boss which one you didn't choose.

The legendary MMORPG web game Runescape was born in the UK in 2001. It swept the world browser game market with its innovative gameplay and free model. Its game has been in operation for 24 consecutive years. In 2008, it was listed as the free MMORPG with the largest number of players by Guinness World Records. It once became a game giant second only to “World of WarCraft” and monopolized the MMO market in Europe and the United States.

In 2010, because of some internal factors, Runescape’s creator Andrew left the studio he founded and rarely appeared in the outside world since then. 14 years later, they created a game called the sequel to Runescape, Brighter Shores.

Similarities

In various senses, Brighter Shores is the spiritual sequel to Runescape. Although Andrew himself does not think that the two games are similar in art, he admits that the two games have similarities in mechanism and gameplay.

In terms of gameplay, Brighter Shores continues the career mechanism of its predecessors. You can still experience the fun of dozens of life professions in this game, earn a lot of Brighter Shore gold, and play the advantages of your own profession at the right time. There are still three main combat professions, namely Cryoknight, Guardian and Hammermage, which is very similar to the classic class arrangement of Runescape.

In terms of payment mechanism, Brighter Shores is also consistent with Runescape. They are both free-to-play MMORPG games, but the complete content is not free. Brighter Shores can provide players with hundreds of hours of gaming experience and subsequent periodic updates. Most of these game contents can be experienced stand-alone, and you can enjoy the game well without relying on other players.

Differences

The developers of Brighter Shores were indeed influenced by Runescape when making it, but they are also working hard to bring players a different gaming experience.

Art Design

Although Brighter Shores is a medieval sword and magic MMORPG like its predecessor Runescape, the models of characters and items in the game are relatively rough and nostalgic by current standards. The color contrast is very strong, sacrificing the degree of simulation, but different scenes will make players feel completely different atmospheres, dark mines, warm taverns, mysterious wilderness, which fits the fantasy theme of sword and magic very well.

Andrew once said that he has always liked grid-style, point-and-click games and simple painting styles. He tends to create a style similar to TRPG and a retro “isometric” game atmosphere in his works.

Both points are reflected in Brighter Shores. The player’s activity range in the game is divided into isometric rectangular blocks, and the operation method is also traditional mouse clicking. These factors have given Brighter Shores a strong traditional label. In general, Brighter Shores and Runescape are very different in art design.

Gameplay

In terms of gameplay, when the player’s skill reaches level 20, the player can start to gain professional knowledge. These knowledges progress at roughly the same rate, with each skill completed giving a percentage bonus. Players can spend expertise points to gain instant experience, instant silver, or unlock a passive training method.

This is an enormous difference compared to Runescape, as the passive skill system allows players to train skills even when offline, but the experience gain rate is much lower, and the passive skill system requires players to have items ready when training certain skills.

Brighter Shores’s Professions may give anyone who has played RuneScape a sense of déjà vu, but most of them simplify the tedious work and regular item management in Runescape. Brighter Shores is clearly more casual than Runescape, as so far it’s still about exploring new areas, completing some quests, training your skills, and converting the output into Brighter Shores gold.

There is some combat in this game, but it’s not difficult because there are no time limits and it doesn’t punish you for making mistakes or doing what you want. If you die, you just respawn and don’t lose any experience or gold. As a MMORPG, even if you’re playing alone, there’s nothing insurmountable.

Runescape’s combat mode follows the rules. Players can only choose one of the melee, archer and mage, and there are not many skills. Most battles are standing and fighting. But it has designed 28 life professions for players. You can become a craftsman, fisherman, cook, merchant and even archaeologist. The addition of many life professions gives players more game options, from the simple “kill the target to get rewards” to tasks outside of combat, which also greatly increases the sense of substitution and immersion of RPG games.

The vitality of the game always lies in innovation, and the developer of Brighter Shores is a master who once pioneered an era. Many Runescapes have also come to experience this game. Its biggest drawback at present is that there is too little content. Many players have played hundreds of hours of repeated content. Maybe Brighter Shores needs to speed up its development.

Lineage was once the childhood and memory of many MMORPG players. It once had millions of players worldwide more than a decade ago, and even now this game still has many loyal players.

After Lineage’s market was gradually occupied by other games, the developers successively launched sequels such as Lineage M, Lineage W, Lineage II, Lineage 2 M, Lineage 2: Revolution and Lineage Red Knights, which still brought them good income.

Currently, Lineage 2M, a mobile port of Lineage II, still maintains a strong firepower in the game market, and many players are looking forward to it. Compared with its predecessor, Lineage 2M has both disadvantages and advantages.

Advantages

In terms of plot, other Lineage series missions have almost no plot, and the missions are very monotonous, but the plot of Lineage 2 M is coherent and worth a deep experience.

In order to embody the concept of MMO to the greatest extent, Lineage 2M has almost no separate dungeon space, and most of it is composed of battlefields. Other MMORPGs that appeared after World of WarCraft built conflict structures and plots through quests, dungeons, battlefields, etc., and presented them to players, while Lineage 2M solves all problems by directly colliding with other players on the battlefield. Creating advantages on the battlefield and uniting with other players to fight against players from another camp to occupy resources is also the biggest difference between Lineage series and other MMORPGs.

Lineage 2 M retains the classic “quality” of Lineage series, while improving the skill system and social interaction to suit the tastes of current players. Newbies who have never played MMORPGs need some time to adapt. Players pay attention to gift code giveaways and game launch events to get Lineage 2M Dia.

The highest image quality of Lineage 2 M will reach 4K. In addition, the mobile version has also updated the microphone communication system to make it easier for guild leaders in large-scale events to PK. For novices and new players, the initial mission system is relatively simple, so they can quickly integrate and become familiar with the game.

Disadvantages

• Lineage 2 M’s combat and action are quite bad from today’s perspective, and it can even be said to be a step backward compared to Lineage II released in 2003.
• The drop of key resources is very rare, and players either have to invest a lot of time in the game or use Lineage 2M Diamonds to exchange for much-needed resources, which is not friendly to casual players.
• Lineage 2 M does not support character customization, and even if you change equipment, it will not be reflected in the appearance.
• Lineage 2 M’s optimization is not perfect, and it will cause the phone to heat up when playing on a mobile phone.

Is Lineage 2M still worth playing in 2025? I think it is still worth playing, because there is still a large group of players who love this game and stick to it. As long as you can make friends and have fun in this game, then it is a good game for you.

In MLB The Show 25, you can often see players with quirks besides their attributes. When two players have the same Overall Rating and their attributes are close, the player with more quirks is often worth more stubs. There are even players whose attributes are not good enough, but they have 5 or even 10 quirks, which makes them get a high Overall Rating.

So how do these quirks work? Which players have more quirks?

How Do Quirks Work?

Each quirk represents a condition. If this condition is met, the player can get an attribute improvement and gain strength beyond their stats.

Quirks do not work in isolation. As long as you meet the corresponding conditions, your players can get multiple improvements. For example, Night Player, Road Warrior and Rally Monkey, triggering these three quirks at the same time can greatly improve their attributes. This mechanism of improving strength in certain situations is very fascinating, and it allows your players to fight back and win like true stars on the court. That’s why players with more quirks tend to be worth more MLB The Show 25 stubs.

How Many Quirks Are In The Game?

There are currently 20 quirks in MLB The Show 25. These quirks are not dispersed, and some quirks are shared only by a few players.

Here are all the quirks:

1. Bad Ball Hitter (153 Players Cards): Hitter is good at hitting balls out of the strike zone.
2. Break Outlier (118 Players Cards): Pitcher loses less rest time when tired.
3. Breaking Ball Hitter (159 Players Cards): Hitter is good at hitting curveballs.
4. Catcher Pop Time (18 Players Cards): Good at knocking out base stealers.
5. Day Player (269 Players Cards): Better when playing day games.
6. Dead Red (224 Players Cards): Hitter is good at hitting fastballs.
7. Fighter (164 Players Cards): Player performs better in the 9th inning or later.
8. First-Pitch Hitter (196 Players Cards): Hitter is good at hitting the first pitch of the at-bat.
9. Homebody (319 Players Cards): Player performs better when playing at home.
10. Night Player (250 Players Cards): Player performs better when playing at night.
11. Outlier I (43 Players Cards): Primary pitch exceeds maximum speed limit.
12. Outlier II (13 Players Cards): Secondary pitch exceeds maximum speed limit.
13. Pick Off Artist (170 Players Cards): Has an extremely effective pick-off move.
14. Pinch Hitter (96 Players Cards): Hitter is good at pinch-hitting.
15. Rally Monkey (138 Players Cards): Player performs better when the team is trailing.
16. Road Warrior (203 Players Cards): Player performs better when playing away from home.
17. Situational Hitter (227 Players Cards): Players are good at hitting a runner from third base with less than 2 outs.
18. Stopper (95 Players Cards): Players perform better when their team is trailing.
19. Table Setter (158 Players Cards): Players perform better when there are no runners.
20. Unfazed (111 Players Cards): Players are good at hitting two-strikes.

Quirks Ranks

While some quirks are rare, such as Outlier II and Catcher Pop Time, which are possessed by less than 20 players, rarity does not mean power. A quirk that works frequently is more popular.

• Tier S: Day Player, Homebody, Night Player, Road Warrior.
• Tier A: Break Outlier, Pick Off Artist, Bad Ball Hitter, Stopper, Rally Monkey, Pinch Hitter, Fighter, Unfazed, First-Pitch Hitter, Dead Red.
• Tier B: Situational Hitter, Outlier I, Outlier II, Breaking Ball Hitter, Catcher Pop Time, Breaking Ball Hitter.

The quirks are judged by whether the quirk is easy to trigger and whether it lasts long enough. Quirks that last long or are not so hard to trigger belong to Tier A.

The quirks in Tier S are all quirks that last long and are not difficult to trigger. If the conditions are met, they will provide benefits to this player throughout the game.

Which Player Has The Most Quirks?

• 91 OVR Bobby Witt Jr.: 11 quirks
• 89 OVR Ketel Marte: 11 quirks
• 93 OVR Aaron Judge: 10 quirks
• 91 OVR Shohei Ohtani: 10 quirks
• 89 OVR Manny Ramirez: 10 quirks
• 88 OVR Stan Musial: 10 quirks
• 87 OVR Bryce Harper: 10 quirks
• 90 OVR Ralph Kiner: 9 quirks
• 90 OVR Ken Griffey Jr.: 9 quirks
• 90 OVR Roberto Clemente: 9 quirks
• 91 OVR Jim Thome: 8 quirks

These are some players with a lot of quirks, most of which are of great value. For example, Bobby Witt Jr. and Shohei Ohtani are perhaps the most valuable players in MLB 25, with both cards worth hundreds of thousands of MLB The Show 25 stubs.

But quirks don’t play a critical role. If the card’s attributes are not good enough, even if it has 11 or even 12 quirks, it will not make it into the top players. For example, Bobby Witt Jr. and Ketel Marte, both with 78 OVR, have 11 quirks, but their stats are too low, which makes them far inferior to their diamond cards.

There are also may top players in MLB The Show 25 with 5 to 8 quirks, which are the mainstays of players’ team building. Although the more quirks, the better, it also means that it is more difficult to unlock them and will cost you more stubs, so you’d better do it within your means.
