If you’re surviving the sands of Arrakis, you’re probably hunting Dune Awakening diamondine dust, a rare and essential component for crafting vehicles, ornithopter parts, and advanced gear. This guide covers where to farm Dune Awakening diamondine dust, vendor options, and smart strategies for using it to upgrade your base and ride.
Where to Find Dune Awakening Diamondine Dust
The easiest way to farm diamondine dust is at Mysa Tarill. It is a cultist city in the top left of the Hagga Basin map, and chests at Mysa Tarill and Hand of Khidr contain diamondine dust, especially after clearing the landmark.
The clearest route is to enter through the south-west cave, loot the five main chests, then exit, repeat as needed.
Buying vs. Farming
If you’re strapped for time or under-levelled, diamondine dust can be purchased. Vendors in Arrakeen, Harko Village, and Crossroads Tradepost offer it for 3,500 Solaris each once you hit the reputation requirement.
The in-game auction house (“Exchange”) is another option, but prices fluctuate by server. Player-driven exchange rates can be more effective than vendor stock.
How to Use Diamondine Dust
Once you’ve got your Dune Awakening diamondine dust, here’s what it’s for:
- Crafting Scout Ornithopter components (hulls, cockpits).
- Building Buggy Hulls and Assault Ornithopter parts.
- Upgrading short blades and vehicle upgrades, like hull reinforcement.
- Optional craftables like moisture sealers and industrial pumps.
Its rarity makes each piece valuable; prioritize vehicles first, then gear.
Smart Farming Tips
- Stay at Mysa Tarill: It’s the hotspot for diamondine dust farming. Enter, loot five chests, exit, and repeat the loop.
- Bring armor and weapons: Mysa Tarill is guarded, chest runs can get deadly.
- Use a vehicle: Roll in, loot quickly, and roll out to avoid heavy enemies.
- Check vendors: If you have the Solaris and reputation, vendor purchases can fill gaps.
- Monitor the Exchange: Sometimes cheaper than vendors, especially when sold in bulk.
