Once you get your sandbike and leave the comfort of early zones, the game changes dramatically. You’re deeper into Arrakis, and the stakes are higher. That’s when I discovered the beauty of building near Anvil Trading Post.
This zone marks the true mid-game. It’s where faction quests begin, so it naturally becomes a bustling hub of activity. Atreides or Harkonnen—you’ll need to pick a side here. That alone made the area thrilling. The narrative suddenly felt deeper, and my choices began to matter Dune Awakening Solari.
Resource-wise, Anvil offers everything you need to start crafting advanced gear: Iron, Granite, and even water sources. It’s also close to Ghanima Cavern, which is one of the best schematic farming areas I’ve come across. The first time I looted a rare power-core blueprint there, I felt like I hit the jackpot.
There’s also a ton of space to build around Anvil, especially on raised terrain. I designed a base with lookout towers and managed to automate a lot of my production. Defensible, productive, and strategically placed—my Anvil base is still one of my favorites to this day Dune Awakening Items.
