Each targets a gap left by the existing wikis and tool sites.
Deep Desert weekly tracker
A dated archive for each Deep Desert rotation: reset schedule, the 9x9 PvE/PvP grid, Mk6 schematic pool and verified drop tables, published on a fixed Tuesday schedule.
PS5 & Xbox console guides
According to official sources, console-first answers for the September 22, 2026 launch: crossplay status, cross-save, performance, server selection, Game Pass, editions and troubleshooting.
Exchange & economy
The player-run Exchange explained with official mechanics: what a listing costs, the 20-offer cap, the 30-day expiry, terminal locations and a break-even calculator for any asking price.

Rotation compiled from a third-party community companion tool. This is not an official Funcom data feed; drop rates are community-reported and approximate.
Using this site across a typical week
01 · Tuesday: reset day
Open the current week page for your regional reset time and the first rotation notes. Early reports after the wipe are added through the day.
02 · Midweek: plan runs
Choose PvE rows A-E for safe farming or PvP rows F-I for the higher output, using the recorded spawn points and schematic pool.
03 · Before you trade
Check the World price board before listing or buying so you do not anchor to an outdated Solari price from an older week.
04 · New or returning
Start with the beginner guide and base-location tips; console players should read the console hub before picking a platform or World.

How the data stays trustworthy
Sourced, not guessed
Every page carries a source note. Official Funcom announcements, the Steam store and patch notes are treated as primary sources; community findings are labelled and re-checked. Anything unverifiable is explicitly marked rather than presented as fact.
EULA-compliant by design
Funcom prohibits packet redirection, add-ons and interference with network play. This site never touches game traffic and never asks anyone to install anything. The Exchange section therefore publishes fixed, documented mechanics rather than a live price feed, which could only exist by doing exactly what the rules forbid.
Built for updates
Dune: Awakening changes weekly. The Deep Desert pages follow a fixed Tuesday schedule, console pages track the live service, and each guide shows published and modified dates so readers always know how current the information is.
Frequently asked questions
What is Deep Desert Wiki?
An independent fan site for Dune: Awakening by Funcom. It tracks the weekly Deep Desert rotation with dated archives, answers console (PS5/Xbox) questions, and explains the Exchange fees and economy mechanics, including a listing break-even calculator.
When does the Deep Desert reset?
The Deep Desert resets every Tuesday, and the regional local reset times are official [verified, Funcom]. The ~8–10 hour sandstorm buildup before the wipe is a third-party community observation, not a published Funcom duration. Both are listed on the current week page and re-verified each cycle.
Is Dune: Awakening crossplay enabled?
As of the console launch on September 22, 2026, cross-play is not enabled. The only exception is Xbox Series X|S and the Windows PC Microsoft Store version, which share progression. Cross-play is officially confirmed as coming post-launch with no announced date.
Where can I check current Exchange prices?
In game, at an Exchange terminal. Dune: Awakening has no official market API, and the rules of conduct prohibit intercepting or redirecting game traffic, so no live price feed can be built legitimately. This site covers the fixed mechanics instead, starting with the listing fee calculator on the Exchange and economy page.
