Duraluminum is a crucial material for crafting Tier 5 equipment, serving as a vital resource for those advancing in the Deep Desert exploration. However, acquiring a sufficient quantity of Duraluminum Ingots poses a significant challenge, particularly for players venturing solo.
For players seeking to gather this essential resource, here’s a streamlined guide on obtaining Duraluminum along with tips for collecting the necessary components to forge enough Ingots for top-tier equipment and vehicles.
How to Craft Duraluminum in Dune Awakening
To produce a Duraluminum Ingot in Dune: Awakening, players must combine water, Aluminum Ingot, and Jasmium Crystal in a medium Refinery. The recipe for each Duraluminum Ingot requires 500 ml of water, 4 Jasmium Crystals, and 1 Aluminum Ingot. This means players will need to gather substantial amounts of Jasmium, water, and aluminum to craft sufficient materials for their Tier 5 gear.
For instance, crafting a Mk. 5 Scout Ornithopter demands a hefty total of 350 Duraluminum Ingots, necessitating large quantities of these resources for the premier aerial vehicle that will allow exploration of the Deep Desert. Therefore, let’s explore the best locations for harvesting these materials to aid players in reaching the endgame.
Where to Get Aluminum
Players have several options when looking for Aluminum to craft Duraluminum, but the prime farming location is situated at Jabal Eifrit Al-Garb, specifically in an area players often refer to as ‘The Pillars.’ This zone is notable for its unique rock formations emerging from the sandy expanse, which are rich in valuable ores.
If players already possess a Mk. 4 Ornithopter, they should equip it with a Storage Module and utilize a Tier 4 Cutteray to efficiently gather ores. By investing in the Planetologist Perks, players can significantly enhance their mining yield, expediting the resource collection process.
Where to Get Jasmium Crystals
Acquiring Jasmium Crystals proves to be quite a challenge, as players must venture into the treacherous Sheol, located in the extreme southwest part of Hagga Basin. This area is fraught with danger, featuring PvP zones, two enormous sandworms patrolling the sands, limited rocky outcrops for safe landing, and dangerously high radiation levels.
To withstand these hazards, players should equip a Radiation Suit. A Mk. 4 Radiation Suit typically offers around 2½ minutes of protection, so players must act swiftly, gathering as many Jasmium Crystals as possible before returning to their Ornithopters to escape the radiation before attempting again.
Once all necessary materials are collected, players should head back to their base, deposit everything into the Medium Refinery (or any storage container available), and select Duraluminum from the list of recipes. Each Ingot requires some time to craft, so players can queue multiple Ingots for production while continuing to gather resources for future crafting.
