Dune Awakening ULTIMATE Landsraad Guide

The Landsraad in Dune: Awakening is a core endgame system where guilds and players aligned with House Atreides or Harkonnen compete for influence over Arrakis by completing tasks to earn votes and enact server-wide decrees. This guide provides a quick and easy breakdown to help you navigate the system and claim rewards effectively, based on the latest information available.

Concepts

• What is the Landsraad? A weekly competitive system where factions (Atreides or Harkonnen) complete tasks for 25 minor Houses to gain their votes. The faction with the most votes or a "Siselrad" (five tasks in a row—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins the right to vote on a server-wide decree that impacts gameplay for all players.
• Decrees: Winning guilds vote on decrees that apply faction-wide buffs for a week, such as reduced crafting costs, access to exclusive vendors, or full-loot PvP rules. Examples include:
  • CHOAM Prediction Contract: 25% reduced crafting costs.
  • In Honor of the Fallen: 33% increased ranged weapon damage.
  • Exclusive Weapon Import Rights: Access to Landsraad vendors for unique weapons, tools, or vehicles.
• Rewards: Personal contributions to tasks earn individual rewards like Solari, schematics, crafting materials, and unique clothing colors (swatches) for each of the 25 Houses. Rewards reset weekly with the Landsraad cycle.

How to Participate

1. Join a Faction:
   • Align with House Atreides or Harkonnen by completing their respective quests at The Anvil tradepost in Eastern Vermillius Gap. Speak to the faction recruiter to start the contract.
   • Faction choice doesn’t significantly impact gameplay, but ensure your guild aligns with your chosen faction, as you can only switch once.
2. Join or Create a Guild:
   • Guild membership is required to fully participate in the Landsraad. Solo players can create a guild for 1,000 Solari via the Guild tab but may struggle to compete with larger groups.
   • Guilds coordinate to complete tasks and strategize for votes.
3. Access the Landsraad Interface:
   • Press “L” to open the Landsraad Terminal, which displays a 5x5 grid of 25 Houses, their tasks, and progress (0/70,000 points per House). It also shows your personal contribution points and the remaining time in the weekly cycle.
4. Reveal and Complete Tasks:
   • Task Revelation: Find House Representatives across Arrakis (Hagga Basin, Arrakeen, Harko Village, or Deep Desert) to reveal tasks. Some require bribes (e.g., spice) or specific character backgrounds. Revealing tasks early gives your guild a time advantage.
   • Task Types: Tasks vary weekly and include:
     • Crafting Deliverables: Deliver items like Adept Dirks, Aluminum Ingots, or Stillsuits to the faction quartermaster (Atreides: Helius Gate; Harkonnen: Riftwatch).
     • PvP Objectives: Capture and hold control points in the Deep Desert (10 points per minute, PvP-enabled).
     • PvE/Exploration: Kill specific enemies, locate crash sites, or deliver vehicles like Ornithopters.
   • Shipping Manifests: Found in crashed ships, these provide items needed for tasks, scannable with a survey probe.
5. Earn Points:
   • Contribute to tasks by delivering items, killing enemies, or holding control points. Each task grants points (e.g., delivering a Dune Ripper MK6 yields 1,221 points).
   • Personal contribution points unlock milestone rewards (e.g., 700 points for 10,000 Solari or low-tier components; Tier 4 for high-value schematics).
   • Faction points (toward 70,000 per House) determine which faction claims the House’s vote.
6. Claim Rewards:
   • Visit the House Representative (not the faction quartermaster) to claim personal rewards based on your contribution points. Locations vary and may shift due to Coriolis Storms
   • Rewards are tied to personal milestones, not faction victory, so you can claim them even if the opposing faction wins the House.
   • High-tier rewards include unique weapons, tools, vehicles, and clothing colors. Each House offers a unique swatch as the final reward.

Winning the Landsraad

• Victory Conditions:
  • Majority Control: Complete the most tasks by the end of the week.
  • Siselrad: Complete five tasks in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) for an early win.
• Strategy:
  • Coordinate with Guild: Work with allies to prioritize high-value tasks (crafting/PvE over control points) and block rival factions’ Siselrad rows.
  • Control Points: Focus on Deep Desert control points for quick points, but be prepared for PvP.
  • Early Action: Reveal and complete tasks early to outpace rivals, as large guilds can finish tasks quickly.
• Decree Voting: If your faction wins, top-contributing guild leaders vote on a decree that applies a server-wide effect for the next week.

Tips for Success

• For Solo Players: Focus on PvE tasks (e.g., delivering items to quartermasters) to earn personal rewards, but expect limited influence on faction votes without a guild.
• Locate Representatives Early: Note their locations (e.g., House Seda near The Anvil) for faster task reveals and reward claims.
• Stockpile Resources: Gather materials like spice or crafting components in advance, as tasks change weekly and can’t be predicted.
• Avoid Over-Reliance on Control Points: They’re slow and risky due to PvP; prioritize crafting or PvE tasks for efficiency.
• Monitor Rivals: Track enemy guild progress to disrupt their Siselrad attempts.
• Check the Exchange: Trade for task-required items at social hubs like Harko Village or Arrakeen to save time.

Challenges and Notes

• Large Guild Dominance: Big guilds with Deep Desert spice monopolies can complete tasks quickly, making it harder for solo or small-group players to compete.
• Reward Accessibility: Recent updates aim to improve rewards for solo and small-group players, addressing complaints about tasks being claimed too fast.
• Weekly Reset: The Landsraad resets with the Coriolis Storm, refreshing tasks and progression, so you can farm rewards again each cycle.
