Event Duration

Community Milestones

Each completed objective brings the entire community closer to unlocking rewards. Every contribution counts – each player in a party counts as one point.

Rewards

Earn rewards as milestones are completed:

  • Milestone 1 Reward – Vivisectionist’s Bone Saw The rumors of horrific experiments being conducted in the Old Quarry are only given more credence by the appearance of such grim tools. The miraculous blade maintains its edge even after cutting through bone after bone like butter. There is no telling just how many cadavers this bone saw has dissected.

  • Milestone 2 Reward – Asteroid Harvester Maula Pistol The Yafeng Water Shipper family wrangles asteroids from space, bringing them to their facility at Wind Pass, to harvest water and rare minerals. To protect this very expensive investment, the Yafeng family arms their guards with the most practical of weapons.

Stretch Goal?

Arrakis rarely yields its secrets easily.

Should both milestones be surpassed, a Stretch Goal reward will be unlocked. Push beyond expectations and prove the strength of collective effort!.

Stay Updated

We will track and share progress through the official Discord channel.

Stay tuned as the numbers rise and the challenge unfolds.

Boosted Progression Weekend

As the event reaches its final phase, a Boosted Progression Weekend will activate to reignite the push.

Boosted Progression Weekend runs from: May 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM → June 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM

Once the event starts, we will replenish all players' Mnemonic Recollections to the max cap of 35, so make sure to use any you may have accumulated right before the maintenance to take full advantage of this boost.

During this period, all players will benefit from:

  • +100% Specialization XP

  • +50% General Character XP

Answer the Call

The secrets of the Water Shippers won’t uncover themselves.

Join the Community Challenge, contribute to the milestones, and help unlock rewards for all. Whether you're returning to the sands or leading the charge, your actions shape the outcome.

Arrakis endures—but only through those who rise to meet it.
