Quick Answer
The Exchange is Dune: Awakening's player-run marketplace: a listing market, not an NPC shop, so every offer you see is another player's. Listing costs 20 Solari per day plus a 2% price fee on day one and 1% per day after, you can hold 20 offers at a time, and completed offers expire after 30 days if unclaimed. Terminals sit in Arrakeen and Harko Village, and trading pools per World, so the same item can cost differently on a different World.
Listing fee calculator
Work out what a listing actually costs before you post it. Fees are charged whether or not the item sells.
Fees accrue for each day the listing is active. Unclaimed completed offers expire after 30 days.
Solves for the price you have to list at: Solari.
- Occupation fee
- Price fee
- Total fees
- Fees as a share of price
- Maximum 20 offers at once, counting active, expired, canceled and purchased listings.
- List in person at a terminal with the item in your inventory.
What a listing costs, line by line
| Charge | Official value | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Occupation fee | 20 Solari per listing, per day | Charged for every day the listing stays up, sold or not. |
| Price fee, day 1 | 2% of the asking price | Applied on the first day the listing is live. |
| Price fee, day 2 onward | 1% of the asking price, per day | A long listing accumulates this on top of the 2% from day 1. |
| Offer cap | 20 offers at once | Counts active, expired, canceled and purchased offers together. |
| Unclaimed sale | Expires after 30 days | Claim sold items and earnings from the My Orders tab. |
The two fees stack: the daily occupation fee is charged for time, and the price fee is a percentage of your asking price. That is why a genuinely expensive item listed for a week can lose several percent of its value before anyone buys it.
Where the terminals are, and what it costs to reach them
Arrakeen
The main city terminal and the one most players learn on. Reach it through normal travel; you must be standing at the terminal with the item in your inventory before a listing can be created.
Harko Village
The second Exchange location. Which of the two is closer to your base is a genuine economy decision, because every trip to list or collect costs either Solari or an Ornithopter flight.
Accessing the Exchange typically requires travel costs in Solari, or you can cross the overland map in your own Ornithopter instead. Listings can include items from every tier, uniques included, so the market is not limited to surplus resources.
What this page does not publish, and why
There is no live price board here. Dune: Awakening has no official market API, the rules of conduct prohibit intercepting or redirecting game traffic and third-party add-ons, and prices pool per World, so a single global price list would be wrong for most readers anyway. Current asking prices are readable in exactly one authoritative place: the Exchange terminal in your own game, on the browse tab.
What this section can do is the part that does not move: the fee structure, the offer cap, the expiry window and the terminal locations. Those are what questions like "how much does listing cost" or "where do I sell" actually need, and they are stable across patches far more often than prices are.
Which economy question are you actually asking?
How the Exchange actually works
Listing rules, the 20-offer cap, 30-day expiry and per-World trading explained in full.
What Solari is and how you earn it
The currency behind every listing: where Solari comes from and what drains it fastest.
Are prices different on my World?
Trading pools per World, which is why an item can cost differently on the World next door.
Where to build relative to a terminal
Reaching a terminal costs Solari or an Ornithopter flight, so base distance is an economy decision.
Exchange fees: frequently asked questions
Where is the Exchange in Dune: Awakening?
Exchange terminals are located in Arrakeen and Harko Village. You have to be physically at the terminal with the item in your inventory to create a listing, and getting there costs Solari in travel fees unless you fly your own Ornithopter across the overland map.
How much does it cost to list an item on the Exchange?
Creating a listing costs a daily fee of 20 Solari. On top of that there is a price fee of 2% of the item price on the first day, then 1% for each subsequent day. Fees are charged whether or not the item sells, so a listing that sits for a week costs materially more than a one-day flip.
How many listings can I have at once?
A maximum of 20 offers, counting active, expired, canceled and purchased offers together. If you exceed the limit you are notified and cannot create further offers until the count is reduced, which makes clearing out dead listings part of running the market.
Do unclaimed items on the Exchange expire?
Completed offers expire after 30 days if you do not claim them. Sold items and the Solari you earned are claimed from the My Orders tab by selecting the entry and pressing Claim, so it is worth checking that tab after a sale goes through.
Are Exchange prices the same on every World?
No. Trading is pooled per World: players across the Sietches of one World trade in the same market, and separate Worlds do not share a price board. The same schematic can therefore sell for very different amounts depending on which World you play on.
Why does this page not show live prices?
Because there is no legitimate way to publish them. Dune: Awakening has no official market API, and the rules of conduct prohibit intercepting or redirecting game traffic as well as third-party add-ons, so a live feed would have to break one or the other. Current asking prices are readable only at the Exchange terminal in game.
