What is Duraluminum Ingot in Dune: Awakening?

A Duraluminum Ingot is a refined material made by processing Aluminum Ingots, Jasmium Crystals, and Water (a lot of it) in an Ore Refinery. It cannot be harvested directly from the environment, meaning players must collect base ingredients and refine them manually or buy them through in-game trade systems.

This makes Duraluminum a resource that is both labor-intensive and highly essential, widely used in crafting gear, vehicles, buildings, and components.

How to craft Duraluminum in Dune: Awakening

Crafting Duraluminum firstly requires you to set up an Ore Refinery, available in medium or large sizes. The type of refinery used affects material efficiency and crafting speed.

Crafting requirements

To create one Duraluminum Ingot, you’ll need:

4x Jasmium Crystals (3x if using a Large Ore Refinery)
1x Aluminum Ingot
650 mL Water

The recipe is simple, but the resources are not always easy to come by. Jasmium in particular is a rare mineral that you’ll need to mine or purchase.

For those not focused on crafting, there are a few alternate methods to obtain Duraluminum:
