Dune Awakening: How to join a guild

Dune Awakening has a robust guild system, where players can come together for like-minded causes. Whether it’s a role-play guild, a PVP one, or just a group of people who love the Dune books and films wanting to chat, you’ve got plenty of options. During the beta phases of the game, it was pretty easy to find a guild. However, at the official launch of the title, the process was changed.

According to the Dune Awakening wiki, there have been guilds in existence for this game since 2022, thanks to a variety of testing phases. These are all player-run groups, with many of them having open Discord channels that gamers can head to if they wish to seek admittance. If you want to join a guild in this title, here’s how you can go about doing that.

How to find and join a guild in Dune Awakening

Guilds are an important part of Dune Awakening, and the general politics of the setting. They can choose to align themselves with one of the two Great Houses (Harkonnen or Atreides), but that’s not necessary. Doing so though, allows them to unlock exclusive missions, cosmetics, and best of all, allows them to participate in the Landsraad.

If you want to survive the harsh, unforgiving world of Arrakis, joining a guild in Dune Awakening is going to be one of your best bets. During the Weekend Beta, there was a function in the Socials Tab that allowed people to search for guilds that were recruiting. Unfortunately, this process can no longer be used.

Now, there are three ways to join guilds. The first is using social channels in the game. The second method involves going on Reddit, which has a Weekly Clan Recruitment Megathread. You can reach out to those actively recruiting; they often recommend that you DM or comment to apply.

The final method involves using the game's official Discord, where plenty advertise as well. Guilds are also cross-server on a World, so it will be relatively easy to play together. Unfortunately, the title has made finding a guild a bit harder than it was in the beta phases.

There are benefits to being in a guild. These groups can build and co-own bases, take part in the Deep Desert content together, complete House Missions, as well as tackle PvP battles and sieges. It’s also possible for a guild to gain enough power to be a House Minor, which will offer even more political power and gameplay opportunities.

Even if you’re a solo player, it’s worth having a guild at your back in Dune Awakening. As one final note, those advertising away from the game (and perhaps some that are) may have application forms to fill out as well as other requirements, such as being active for X number of hours a week.

If a guild invites you to join them, you can find the invitation in the Guilds tab inside the Socials menu. If you want, you can also form your own for a price of 1,000 Solari. You'll also find the option to do this in the same Guilds tab.
