Buy Dune Awakening Solari

The developers recently announced that Dune Awakening version 1.1.20 will be officially released on August 12th. This update primarily addresses various glitches and bug fixes, which many players have been complaining about. Beyond that, version 1.1.20 also includes a significant amount of new content, including gameplay changes and quality-of-life improvements.

This important patch is now available via Steam testing client. The developers hope to test various adjustments before the official release to ensure they meet the expectations of the vast majority of players. I’m confident that if they find any issues or glitches, these updates will be adjusted accordingly.

Here, we’ll outline a series of key changes in version 1.1.20 to help you get up to speed with the game after the update. Let’s get started!

Steam Testing Client

As we mentioned before, if you’d like to experience the game before the official release, the testing client is now available on Steam. It’ll last about two weeks, and the developers want your help testing some key changes, especially the new Ornithopters’ collision mechanics and the new Deposit All Blood and Deposit/Extract All Water buttons for the base system.

Yes, we finally have Deposit/Extract All Blood and Water buttons. Thank goodness this is so exciting. I think this is the best news I’ve heard about this update, after all, having to click Deposit Water or Blood button 1,000 times every time is insane!

In addition, if you join the public beta client, you’ll also get access to some premium vehicles, like a top-tier Buggy, Scout Ornithopter, Assault Ornithopter, and even a Carrier Ornithopter.

So, make sure you’ve created a character, and you’ll be able to claim these parts from the in-game menu after 7:00 PM CEST / 5:00 PM UTC on July 30th.

New Features And Fixes

Now, let’s get into the new features coming soon. Let’s start with buildings.

Building

You can now place pillars between walls. Additionally, Solido Replicator has been upgraded to replicate placeable items and decorations, making basic cloning a reality. I know many players experienced issues with replicating and deploying constructed structures in the last update, and I sincerely hope this update will allow us to better complete our building efforts.

Furthermore, the developers will be releasing a new Atreides Sandbike Variant and Desert Mechanic Decorations, available from vendors. They’ve also made numerous balance adjustments to the vehicle economy, crafting, and user interface, making the game feel more cohesive overall.

Like I said, this update is going to be a massive one, and even slight changes will add up in the long run. These changes truly demonstrate the developers’ passion for Dune Awakening, and they’ve listened carefully to the community’s feedback, which is truly commendable.

Vehicles

Now, let’s talk about vehicles. They’ve really received a lot of praise in version 1.1.20.

Ornithopters now push each other away upon collision, which significantly reduces carrier griefing. If you’ve ever ventured deep into the desert, either piloting a carrier or griefing on one, you know that pushing an Ornithopter to the ground is one of the most effective things you can do, especially when your carrier is about to be deactivated. So, if this is your primary attack method, you might want to start thinking about a strategy that changes things up a bit.

In addition, vehicle acceleration will be increased by 10%. Scanner and wing wear has been reduced in many situations, and new speed scaling makes each aircraft more effective. Furthermore, Ornithopter Carrier can also drop cargo and take off with a massive acceleration. So, this is a huge improvement.

Many people have always hated piloting a Carrier because you never know what’s going to happen. It’s like being a giant turtle lying on the beach, passively taking the hit if attacked. But now that we know we can drop cargo and escape, I think most players will be more willing to try piloting a Carrier again.

In-Game Economy

There are actually many detailed changes to the in-game economy in this update, but basically, the Exchange has been completely overhauled. Item categories are now clearer, and you can now search for items by name on the Exchange. The values of many items have also been rebalanced, with Melange Spiced Beer, for example, now being cheaper and Rocket being less unaffordable.

Another interesting thing I found quite interesting is that liquids stored in containers now retain their value. So, when you sell them, in addition to the value of the container itself, you’ll also receive bonus Dune Awakening Solari income based on the liquid inside.

So, if you’re just starting out, you might want to consider selling liquids collected from flowers or blood collected from enemies to earn some extra Solari before moving on, but we’ll have to wait and see how effective this will be.

Combat And UI

Speaking of combat and the UI, combat will be more responsive, with new melee animations, optimized dagger animations, and improvements to stagger and VFX indicators making combat smoother overall. There’s even a new tutorial if your stagger is taking too long, which will be very helpful for new players. Of course, veteran players can always go back and check it out; they’ll likely learn even more.

Additionally, the user interface has received a serious overhaul. A new search bar and crafting system, simpler HUD elements, and controller improvements make the entire experience more refined.

Bug Fixes

Now, of course, it’s time to get to the most important part - bug fixes. So far, the developers have addressed hundreds of bugs, ranging from terrain holes and UI glitches to incorrect audio triggers, stuck cutscenes, and rare vehicle glitches.

One standout issue I noticed is that colliding with a sandworm now results in death, and there’s no longer a lag immunity during the animation. So, if that sandworm hits you, you’re dead.

Furthermore, some long-standing path-blocking issues have finally been resolved. This is a huge win for players who’ve been stuck in their faction progression. So, if you’ve been stuck there for a while, hopefully, some relief will be coming soon.

All in all, everyone, update 1.1.20 is making Dune Awakening a fantastic game. With smoother mechanics, better base building, more powerful vehicles and a more complete economic system, Dune Awakening is no longer just a simple survival game, but an immersive open world that truly allows players to explore the planet Arrakis and build their own empire of power!

The combat in Dune Awakening can be mainly divided into melee and ranged, both of which are very powerful combat methods, but because of the existence of Holtzman shields, a little balance is made, so ranged attacks are not completely dominant in this game.

The reason for choosing melee is that Holtzman shields cannot block slow objects, so you can use melee to do the most damage. And some characters’ skills are very helpful for melee, so whether in PVP or PVE, melee is worth trying, and the following is a build based on Swordmaster’s skills.

Melee Swordmaster Equipment

• Weapon: Halleck’s Pick (Tier 6 Long Blades)
• Secondary Weapon: Adept Disruptor Pistol (Tier 5 Sidearms)
• Tools: Power Pack MK5

Armor: Syndicate Helmet, Syndicate Chestplate, Syndicate Boots, Syndicate Gauntlets, Syndicate Pants

Most of equipment for this build is actually very easy to get. The one that is more difficult to get is Halleck’s Pick. Its schematic of this unique item can only be found in Deep Desert. Before you get it, you can exchange Dune Awakening Solari for a Tier 5 long sword in the market, such as Kharet Viper, and this weapon can inflict poison on the enemy, which is a wonderful effect.

Mentat’s skills are not needed here, but if it is a ranged build, it may be needed. In battle, you need to flexibly use the three abilities of Crippling Strike, Inspiration and Knee Charge, which can close the distance with the opponent and quickly destroy the enemy’s balance.

Melee Attack Tips

Melee attacks have 4 types of attacks: light attack, thrust attack, heavy attack and slow blade attack. The first two have the advantage of fast attack speed, but the damage caused by the attack is not high. The latter two attacks are very slow to attack and the damage is very high, usually 4 to 8 times the damage of light attacks. Your specific damage depends on your weapon and the armor provided by the opponent’s Dune Awakening items. This mainly shows that you need to try to hit the enemy with your slow blade attack and heavy attack in the melee.

If you want the heavy attack to hit the opponent, you must make the opponent unbalanced. Under the protection of Holtzman shield, the opponent is usually not so easy to unbalance. You need to hit the opponent three times to make him shake. If your opponent has a passive skill that can reduce the damage of balance, then he can withstand more attacks.

You must strictly manage your stamina in combat and be sure to avoid frequent sprints and meaningless attacks. Learn to conserve a certain amount of stamina in case you cannot dash in a critical moment.

The above is the basic information of the melee Swordmaster build. Melee is not as easy to master as firearms, but once you can master this offensive method, you may be more efficient in dealing with your opponents than ranged ones.

Two weeks after Dune Awakening went live, the game has received its first major patch, which has made timely changes to many player feedback issues and greatly optimized the current end-game experience.

This change mainly involves Deep Desert, turning almost half of the area into a PVE area. Are players satisfied with this change? Let’s have a look below.

Deep Desert

The biggest change is the change to the PVP area, which is Deep Desert. Before the update, the best equipment that players could get in the PVE area was only around T5, and Dune Awakening items required to make T5 equipment also needed to be got from Deep Desert area.

In Patch 1.1.0.17, the PVP area in Deep Desert was reduced by about half, and now the PvE area has been adjusted to the entire southern half of Deep Desert map, from area E2 to area A will now become a PVE area. You can now explore or build bases in these areas without worrying about being besieged by other players.

Control Points and Shipwrecks in PVE areas will still be a small PVP area, so if you encounter other players here, you must be vigilant.

PVE players can now come here almost safely to collect level 6 materials, and the richest areas are still in PVP areas. You can find spice fields and Control Points in PVP areas.

Here are the changes to resource points in Deep Desert:

• The number of medium spice fields has been reduced from 8 to 5.
• The number of small spice fields has been increased from 20 to 22.
• The number of resource nodes in Deep Desert PvE section has been reduced.
• The respawn time of Titanium and Stravidium has been increased to 45 minutes.

Although the resources in Deep Desert that have become PVE areas are less than before, it is still much better than blocking PVE players from Deep Desert area.

Is This A Pleasant Change?

PVE Players

First of all, this is definitely a good thing for PVE players. PVE players are basically single players. There are only two reasons which they don’t join in PVP: they don’t like PVP content, and they are worried that their weapons and equipment are too backward to beat PVP players.

The number of PVE enthusiasts in Dune Awakening is significantly higher than that of PVP. According to the published data, global players have consumed over than 120 million building parts, manufactured 517,000 ornithopters, and collected 6.11 billion grams of spices. The total area surveyed by players reached 25,529,505 square kilometers, 56,253 milliliters of blood were extracted from enemies, 66,000 players died in sandstorms, 816,000 died in sandworm attacks, and 628,000 died in Deep Desert.

This update allows most PVE players to get better materials, equipment and unique item schematics. They only need to take a little more time than PVP players to get top-level Dune Awakening items.

PvE players with top gear can now go to the PvP area to steal some materials from time to time. However, players who plan to do this must remember that your ornithopter must be at least T5, and you’d better prepare a spare ornithopter in your base, or at least prepare more parts, because you may be shot down by other players at any time.

PVP Players

Many PvP players have complained about this change, thinking that this change will ruin the content of PvP, but in fact, when the change officially takes effect, almost no one complains about this.

Because shrinking the PvP area is also a good thing for PvP players. In the previous Deep Desert PvP area was too large, and you could not meet large-scale PvP players in most areas, and this update compressed the PvP area, making it easier for PvP players to meet each other and then have a random battle.

Although such changes are worthy of recognition, the problem of cheating players rampant in the game is still serious, making it difficult for PvP enthusiasts to get a good gaming experience. Just adding a few PVE areas will not completely solve this problem. Further measures are still needed to combat cheating and improve the gaming environment.

Other Changes

In addition to the changes to the PVP area, there are some adjustments to optimize the gameplay, which will also affect PVP combat.

Rocket Launcher Module will cause your ornithopter to slow down, Scout Ornithopters will slow down by 20% and Assault Ornithopters will slow down by 10%. This is a good thing for single players who drive Scout Ornithopters to PVP areas to steal resources, so it is difficult for PVP players’ Ornithopters to catch up with him.

The second is that if you jump directly from the ornithopter, it will automatically land instead of gliding away. This is to prevent players who suddenly disconnect from the line from losing their ornithopters.

In short, these are some adjustments to optimize the gameplay. However, although this patch was very successful, the combat part of the game was not good enough so far. Whether it is the long-range design or the melee knife combat, it is not very smooth. This is also the reason players prefer PVE content, so I hope that the game can continue to optimize the combat feel.

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.

Dune Awakening is now available on PC, and new players will face a harsh environment. How can you cope with the heat, sandworms, and thirst? Wandering around Arrakis aimlessly is not enough, and you need to know what items you need to resist these dangers.

Gather resources from all over Arrakis, trade Dune Awakening Solari at the exchange for schematics, and then craft the items you need!

How To Craft?

The crafting process at Dune Awakening is actually very simple. You first need to get the corresponding schematics of the item, and then use your materials to synthesize it.

You can find schematics hidden in treasure chests in various areas of the world, or use Intel points to unlock your research tree, which will also unlock more craftable options. If you don’t have the resources to make your own, you can also trade Dune Awakening Solari at the exchange.

Research

Research is a bit like the skill tree you see in other games, with many branching options that players need to unlock one by one using Intel points. However, it is functionally different. It only allows players to unlock items and weapon crafting options, but does not provide players with any attribute points or new skills.

• Essentials: Items required for the main story missions.
• Water Disciplines: Techniques that can protect your water resources and allow you to get more water resources in Arrakis.
• Weapons: Techniques that can make and improve your weapons and armor.
• Construction: Techniques used to create refineries and power systems in your base.
• Exploration: Used to unlock technologies that help you explore areas of Arrakis, such as binoculars or survey drones.
• Vehicles: Items that allow you to better traverse Arrakis, such as Sandbikes.
• Unique: Some items have unique affixes, which are usually more powerful and useful than ordinary items.

Intel points are mainly earned by leveling up and exploring enemy areas.

After you meet the crafting conditions, you can start crafting. Consumables such as bandages and food can be crafted anywhere, but items such as Sandbike or weapons must be crafted in the base.

How To Collect Resources?

Collecting resources is a long-standing theme in survival games. At the beginning, players need to manually collect resources on the map. After you get gathering tools, you can take resources such as ore or debris. The following is how to get resources from the simplest to advanced resources:

• Picking: Manually collect basic resources such as ore and plant fiber. The efficiency is low, and the resources obtained are ordinary.
• Gathering Tools: Gathering Tools can be said to be the most important type of tools in Dune Awakening. You need to use Cutteray and Static Compactor to mine veins and collect spices.
• Loot Boxes: Containers around the map often contain rare materials and schematics.
• Kill Enemies: Kill enemies to loot their resources and weapons.
• Eco Labs: You can think of this area as a dungeon. You can find rare items such as vehicle parts and advanced crafting materials here.

Refinery Stations

Many times, the resources you collect are not directly usable for crafting, and you need to process them further. The three Refinery Stations are essential buildings in your base.

Ore Refinery

Ore Refinery helps you refine raw ores into ingots of various qualities. Small Ore Refinery can extract and refine Copper Ingots, Iron Ingots, and Steel Ingots for you. Medium Ore Refinery can produce Aluminum Ingots and Duralumin Ingots from Aluminum and Jasmium ores. Finally, Large Ore Refinery can refine the highest grade materials in Dune Awakening.

Building an Ore Refinery can help you get more raw materials with less ore, and upgrading the size of Ore Refinery will benefit you.

Chemical Refinery

Chemical Refinery specializes in producing more man-made materials for items. For example, Vehicle Fuel Cells and Silicone Blocks. Medium Chemical Refinery is much more efficient and effective in producing similar items.

Spice Refinery

Spice is the most important resource in Dune Awakening. Its value is much higher than Dune Awakening Solari. Even Dune Awakening is called “Spice War”. Spice Refinery is a special area for processing spices. Its specifications are also divided into small, medium and large. The higher the spice factory, the more efficient it is.

Advanced Crafting

Ordinary crafting can only meet your minimum needs. If you want to make a fortune in Arrakis, you have to know how to make advanced items.

Fabricators

Standard fabricators are your workstations in the early game. They can be used on basic weapons, armor, utilities, etc. You can even make your first motorcycle! But in the middle and late stages, you need more professional Fabricators to make wipes.

Weapon Fabricators

Weapon Fabricators are workstations that specialize in making weapons and ammunition, including rockets and incendiary bombs. You can even make missiles here later in the game.

Garment Fabricator

You can make Stillsuits and powerful Armor in Garment Fabricator, but they usually require additional power to operate.

Survival Fabricator

Survival Fabricator is a workstation for making various auxiliary tools. You can make higher-level mining cutters, more advanced medicines, and so on.

Vehicle Fabricator

You can make your first motorcycle at an early game station, but if you want to make more types of motorcycles, you need a vehicle fabricator. For example, both standard and advanced vehicle fabricators can make Buggy and Ornithopter!

You can sell the items you make in the advanced Fabricator, and you can easily earn hundreds of thousands of Dune Awakening Solari.

Dune Awakening is a survival MMO, but also has PVP content. Good equipment often allows you to protect your resources from the malicious attacks of other players, and investing your resources in production can get you out of the survival dilemma.
