Spice May Flow… But You Still Need Solari

[jornw]

Hey guys,

So I’ve been knee-deep in Dune: Awakening for a while now, and like many of you, I went all-in on spice harvesting early on. It felt like the most “Dune” thing to do, right? But the more I play, the more I realize that spice isn’t everything — at least not without Solari to back it up.

I recently hit a wall where I had plenty of spice stored up, but not enough Solari to process it efficiently, upgrade my gear, or even pay for faction missions. It’s frustrating when you’ve got the resource everyone supposedly wants… but you’re still broke.

This made me rethink my priorities. I started doing more faction quests and trying to trade, but I’m still slow compared to players who seem to always have fat wallets. A few folks in global chat mentioned buying Solari through U4GM, and I admit, I checked it out. They have bundles that don’t look super expensive. Still on the fence about it — has anyone here tried them?

I know some people say buying currency ruins the experience, but honestly? I work full-time and can’t grind 4 hours a night. If I could toss a few bucks to save time and catch up, that’s tempting — especially if it means being competitive in PvP zones or building faster.

Just wondering how others are balancing the grind with real life. Anyone else here decided to buy Solari instead of farm 24/7?

Let’s talk. I’d love some honest takes on how to keep pace without losing your sanity.
