Beginner Early-Game Guide

I. Beginner Entry

Character Creation & Early Preparation

Face customization and faction selection:
Prioritize choosing Fremen (specialized in guerrilla tactics and environmental utilization) or House Harkonnen (heavy armor frontline).
The former suits solo players, the latter suits team-based play.

Crafting survival tools:
The beginner tutorial requires crafting the still-suit (preserves moisture) and harvesting knife—make sure to complete these first.

Water-gathering techniques:
Collect from corpses, desert plants, or oases.
In mid-to-late game, you must build a water purification station for large-scale production.

Desert Survival Rules

Sandworm avoidance:
Avoid running for long periods; use a walk–stop–observe rhythm.
When a sandworm appears, stay still to hide or use a sonic distraction device.

Environmental adaptation:
Retreat to shelter before a Coriolis storm.
Use the post-storm cooling period to quickly gather resources.

II. Resource Management

Core Resource Acquisition

Spice:
Extracted in deep desert with specialized tools.
Requires team defense against sandworm attacks.
High risk and high reward—recommended to cooperate with a guild and secure the area together.

Water:
Early game comes from oasis control; later relies on water stations.
After learning the Water Purification skill, you can mass-produce and trade.

Metal/Fiber:
Farm in bulk within the safe zone of Hagga Basin—great for earning your first income.

Trading System & Economic Strategy

Auction House mechanics:
Cross-server trading of rare resources (e.g., spice, blue blueprints).
Watch out for handling fees and last-minute sniping during the listing period.

III. Money-Making Tips

• Clear the Underground Ecological Test Station dungeon to obtain rare vehicle parts and blueprints.

• Pre-purchase the Ultimate Edition to obtain the Caladan Palace Set and resell it later at high prices.

• Travel at night to reduce water consumption and improve gathering efficiency.

IV. Combat & PvP

Ground Combat Techniques

Environmental usage:
Fremen can set traps or summon sandworms to assist.
House Harkonnen relies on heavy firepower suppression.

Team coordination:
A 3-player squad composition (1 bait/aggro, 2 DPS) can efficiently clear sandworm nests.

Aerial Vehicle Combat

Vehicle selection:

• Light ornithopters for agile strikes

• Heavy transport aircraft for team support

Tactical points:

• Take the high-ground advantage to use missiles on clustered targets.

• When facing electromagnetic interference, switch to backup weapons or ram for melee impact.

V. Mission Planning

Main Quest Chain

• Prioritize unlocking the Still-Suit Workshop and Spice Refinery to improve survival and resource gathering efficiency.

• Complete the Sandstorm Rescue event to obtain high-value medical kit recipes.

PvP Area Conflicts

Deep Desert Spice Vein War:
Hundreds of players battle on the same map—join a large guild to secure the area.

Territory Control War:
Guild warfare grants tax revenue, supporting late-game tech research.

VI. Guild Gameplay

• Join an active guild to participate in bidding for spice extraction rights and territory defense battles.

• Guild tech tree should prioritize upgrades to Shield Generator and Vehicle Workshop.
