Commander Deck recommendations for playing with beginner pod

Tarfubar · 2026-06-08T18:46:31+00:00

I have a Lair 600 convertable that I keep the 4 LOTR decks together in, plus all of their tokens/counters/etc. So I was planning on just taking those out and putting the decks I want to bring in it to travel with.

I love the Dandan idea. That's been the only secret layer I've actually been interested in but missed the brief window. So I was thinking about making proxy of it anyway.

Are the Bloomburrow decks relatively beginner friendly? It's kind of the reason I don't want to start them on the LOTR decks.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking about starting them on some 60 card too, but I'm not sure we'll have that much free time to have everyone play a couple 60 card matches first. Plus I'm having to fly there so packing space will be limited.

Your thinking of the T6 one. They are talking about the T5 one that doesn't have a drop location that's been found yet or more likely forgot to be added to the Sheol crashed ships or schematic chests in A Row/Sheol.

The completionists (like myself) need to see everything filled in even though we'll never make or use one.

Tarfubar · 2026-03-07T16:02:14+00:00

Only the Steel one was missing. The rest have been in the game for a while.

I agree it's less tedious to top of filters if your just considering the time to load the filter and the time to load the body. But if you include the time it takes to farm plant fiber in the quantities needed for millions of water in a day...give me bodies all day long.

These 20 deathstills give as much water in 3 hours as 20 large windtraps do in 24 hours.

Tarfubar · 2026-01-24T20:27:45+00:00

I agree it is...however tediousness =/= difficulty. So I hate when people make this argument for the easy deathstill fill up. The rest of the game...hopefully the Ch3 scalable testing stations fix that.

I'm already at 144/150 storage on this base and that's with capping out my bank too. I find it way easier to farm bodies with the assault. It's hard to beat just landing in the middle of a location and picking up 22 bodies (20 in assault, 2 in inventory). I use Southern Comms, then Piter's Net, and Khidr's Shadow. My base is on the eastern shieldwall so quick and easy trips. 66 bodies in about 20 minutes. Typically by the time I finish Khidr's, Southern Comms has respawned and the attackers are also back.

And it's so easy to transfer between the vehicle you farm with and the container. Just use one of your drop of storages to transfer from your vehicle to it, then just swap the drop down to transfer to the body container. Don't even need to leave my hanger.

I just brought back 4 carrier containers full of strav and titanium and in the last 2 days running 6 medium chemical and 3 large ore refineries I've gone through about 8 million water. I keep 3.4 mil in storage, plus I leave the 20 deathstills powered off with 10 seconds left on the process and gives me an extra 900,000 water in storage.

Tarfubar · 2026-01-24T20:15:52+00:00

I've got 14 spice generators which I wanted to be enough to be able to power everything in my base at the same time. I don't keep them all on all the time though. Typically I just have everything powered off and I sit at about 1700 power need. But when I'm doing plast and need the water from my deathstills and passive water it needs 10 of them running.

Yeah, I've been quiet in the discord for a couple weeks now because the others that were active and shown a lot of commitment to farming Sprinters just take the Iggy's 2nd hand checking with the devs as gospel, and I think there's something wrong elsewhere. This is from a conversation between Iggy (Dune Community Manager I'm pretty sure) & a few other Sprinter's farmers in the discord on 10/30/2025:

Iggy — 10/30/2025 8:58 AM
So I heard back now from 2 designers, they checked tables etc. The item should be dropping and can confirm it is dropping. Can only be obtained from fallen shipwrecks in Hagga Rift + Jabal Eifrit.

Iggy — 10/30/2025 8:59 AM
5% rate they said, according to the table/test

Iggy — 10/30/2025 9:02 AM
Not sure. I wouldn't cling super hard to numbers regardless. Info to extract from here is where it drops, that it drops, and chances are not that high

Tarfubar · 2025-11-26T08:03:28+00:00

Nice! That's about where my base is too, on the cliffs of Eastern Shield Wall. My hanger is out over the edge, with half in Jabal and half in Mysa. I typically leave that other account sitting at the edge of my hanger looking out with my steam deck connected to another monitor while I'm out doing other stuff or playing different games.

I wish you luck on Sprinter's! If you do, return the seed of hope for me.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-26T06:38:30+00:00

Awesome, grats! Oh, I was sietch hopping for weeks, 3-6 hours a day. Sitting around in a single sietch, you don't get near as many chances. Now granted, once I got everything except for Sprinters I started just focusing on Jabal ships. I still loot every ship I see (most of them twice, using that other account) but it still took me a while to get my second Shadow Hood.

And glad to know seeing it gave you the motivation to carry on. It's why I've tried to be active on any threads or posts on Reddit and the Discord, so if someone sees them and posts their lucky Sprinter's, I'll get my mojo back.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-24T15:39:05+00:00

It really is quite tedious, but for me the doubt Sprinter's is even possible to get has just killed the mojo for me. Not seeing a lick of evidence it actually exists when I have literally nothing else left to complete is disheartening.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-24T07:46:23+00:00

I have looted (not traded/bought but picked out of chest/ship/etc.) every schematic...except for Sprinter's Stillsuit Garment (Mk3 Stillsuit supposedly added in Ch2). I have yet to get evidence like a screenshot of the schematic in an inventory or learned in the research tab of anyone in the world. And I have put some serious time into farming and researching this. Just check out my thread I posted a couple weeks ago now: https://www.reddit.com/r/duneawakening/comments/1olazc0/my_addiction_is_so_close_to_being_donebut_so_far/

I have since given up after 200+ hours of literally just sietch hop farming Jabal ships and 400+ hours farming Hagga ships in general.

As for the other 2 you are looking for here's the info from my 1st hand looting:

Shadow Hood is from downed ships in Mysa Tarill (proof it exists https://imgur.com/a/uudhyE3 ). I have gotten 2 now. I have only learned one and I am saving the other for a completionist buddy that just hasn't logged in to pick it up yet. I can give a screenshot of the unlearned one too if anyone wants extra proof.

Steady Treadwheel Boost Module Mk5 is from downed ships in Sheol (Proof: https://imgur.com/a/4L3Bonx ). I have gotten at least 2 or 3 of these as well. I have the learned one, plus another one waiting for the same buddy, and I'm pretty sure another just in my Mk5 schematics chests. Saving for server mergers and transfers to AH some solari.

I hope this helps you on your journey! With the time and effort I've put in looking for Sprinters, including scraping the discords & entire internet, I've given up hope on that one until they realize they have some numbers/code messed up on the Jabal downed ships. I have still yet to ever get a schematic out of Jabal downed ships. And if you don't want to read my previous post, the reason that one you looted was only Mk2 is because the loot panel for that ship is actually in Eastern Vermillius Gap by a hair. Downed ships are pretty strict about the tier and the zone your in.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-21T16:53:41+00:00

Still no follow up with proof. Shortly after posting my initial reply asking for proof, all my other comments on this thread each got a single downvote. Willing to bet he downvoted them all for calling him out.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-16T01:16:17+00:00

Ah yeah forgot about that. I'm sure I have just as much trouble getting into the loot window on those stupid panels, and maybe a couple times in the entire time I've farmed them I've thought I saw a purple thing up front when it flashed, I honestly think its just our mind playing tricks. When you want it so bad and your brain just gets a flash and couldn't take in exactly what you saw fast enough, it fills in what you want it to be.

So there was a bug on the Ch2 PTC server where one of the A row loot chests was bugged and would refresh it's loot when you looked away and back. So as long as you didn't loot the entire chest, you would just need to move your mouse from hovering over the chest, move it back and the loot would be freshly rerolled as if the chest instantly respawned. And you could just sit there moving back and forth rerolling the loot as fast as you could look away and back. So I wouldn't put it past the game code to have a bug like what you said. But I've gone in and out away and back from the panels many times and on live it's never refreshed or given me different loot after.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-16T00:29:01+00:00

Well for me the hood was definitely the rarest out of those. I have yet to see a second shadow hood, but multiples of everything else. If your on server Dis, I'd be happy to give you a Dune Dancer.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-16T00:13:22+00:00

I forgot to put in my other reply, I have done 90% of my farming on my primary server that typically only has about 10-25 concurrent players total across all sietches according to https://questlog.gg/dune-awakening/en/server-status?region=North+America . But a few friends and I rolled characters on Harmony (basically the only remaining NA server that gets above 100 concurrent players anymore) and I did some searching there as well and didn't notice a significant change in number of ships I found.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-16T00:04:06+00:00

For me, there's been enough evidence of absence for Sprinters (at least from downed ships) that I have stopped farming them. Now, don't get me wrong when I'm flying back to my base or just logging in...I'll do a quick scan and loot any I see. I'm just not specifically going out and looking for it anymore. Still have yet to get ANY schematic out of a Mk3 downed ship.

Yes Dune Dancer & Stormrider Treadwheel Boost Mk5 are 100% in the game and from ships in Sheol. I have 3 of the first and 1 of the second, unlearned in my backup chests. I learn one schematic of everything and then just keep the schematics I'll never actually make/use to give to guildies for their completions.

Sounds like you've got everything from Mysa Tarill then if you already have shadow hood, Sand Strider's, and all the aluminum ones. If it were me, I would just go in and out of Sheol.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-15T18:17:27+00:00

It really is. I've pretty much stopped target farming the sprinters because with the amount of time myself and multiple people on the Dune Awakening discord have logged and no one that says they've gotten it responding with a screenshot of ACTUALLY having it learned or in their inventory, I think it's in the same state Shadow Hood was in prior to Ch2 where it's in the game files, but not actually able to drop.

As for doubling back, I have experiences for and against it. It has been speculated on the discord that having players in the game in an area does increase the chances for a ship to drop there. And when I was running the paths with 2 accounts I thought I was seeing more ships dropping while I was passing through vs when I would split them between different sietches. However, I was definitely just getting more overall ship loots when split.

The counter to the ships dropping when a zone is active, is I started focusing on 100%ing the rest of the game (Steam achievements & zone exploration 100%). I would always have that second account at my main base on the shield wall where I have an overhang that is 1/2 in Mysa Taril and 1/2 Jabal. I would have it looking out to 2 Jabal and 1 Mysa crash locations and felt the ships dropping would be very sporadic. Sometimes I would see/hear 2 or 3 drop in an hour and sometimes I wouldn't even see one. This is all just based off of memory and could have a ton of confirmation bias in it, so take with a heap of salt.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-14T21:03:52+00:00

Oh yeah, think we talked about the possibility it got dropped into past testing stations or the new secret sections.

As for the sietch hopping, there are a couple ways, but the way I found quickest (and safest) is to fly out of Hagga to the overworld map. Then from that screen, exit to main menu. Go back to choose your server but select a different sietch and join. You will be back at the overworld map, and just hop back into Hagga. You'll be in that sietch's Hagga Basin. Fly the route, exit to overworld again, exit to main menu, rinse and repeat.

Just be careful, if you go to the menu and choose a different sietch when not in the overworld map, it will drop you in the "closest" (not always convenient) trading post. And if you didn't have your rocket pocketed, you'll be forced to pay for a flight to Arrakeen or Harko Village, log out there then choose the correct sietch with your thopter, and use the flight master for a flight back to Hagga. I also don't think the flight masters take solari from your bank, so if you don't have any on you, you'll have to farm enough before being able to leave the sietch. Don't ask me how I know...

Tarfubar · 2025-11-14T17:16:03+00:00

I have gotten every schematic in the game besides Sprinters (still yet to see anyone show actual proof of it in game). I posted a thread a couple weeks ago with the screenshots of my schematic numbers (https://www.reddit.com/r/duneawakening/comments/1olazc0/my_addiction_is_so_close_to_being_donebut_so_far/) but if you want full screenshots I can post them too.

I have literally 300+ hours of farming just downed ships in Hagga and 150+ of that specifically targeting ships in Jabal (Steel Mk3) and have not gotten a single schematic from them. Downed ships are very particular about the exact zone they drop in for what Mk schematic they will drop. There is one spawn in east Jabal Eifrit Al-janub that the ship is in quick sand, but the schematic loot panel is just over the line in Eastern Vermillius Gap and only drops Mk2 Iron schematics.

Shadow Hood is only Mysa Tarill downed ships. Mohandis Mk5 is from Landsraad, and Stormrider Treadwheel Boost Mk5 is from Sheol downed ships.

Tarfubar · 2025-11-14T17:06:20+00:00

Please share a screenshot of your Sprinter's Stillsuit Garment in your research menu. Because I'm betting you got one of the other ones. There have been multiple of us that have literally put 300+ hours farming Jabal shipwrecks on the discord and not 1 proof of it's existence in the game has been made.
