Alright, so here’s the thing about Flour Sand in Dune: Awakening. It’s like, the stuff you really want, but — surprise, surprise — it’s a total nightmare to snag. You gotta venture into sketchy zones where, I kid you not, a sandworm has a good chance of making you its next meal. Teaming up becomes less about preference and more about survival. Or you gamble on sheer luck. Seems there are occasional safe spots, but those are like spotting a unicorn.
Now, let’s talk locations. This Vermillius Gap place, both sides, east and west — that’s your main hunting ground. Look out for those dusty white clouds; they’re your Flour Sand beacons. Except, plot twist: location roulette anyone? Because after the Coriolis Storm whips through the area every week, everything could change! It’s like playing hide and seek with Flour Sand, though usually, it’s lurking near that dreaded drum sand. Patch of red sand? Cue the anxious heartbeat — the sandworm’s definitely RSVP’d to this party.
And, oh, those drum sands! You walk or ride across them, and it’s like dialing up a sandworm Uber. Once in a while, you might hit the jackpot and find Flour Sand without any drumming underneath. But hey, luck’s not exactly a reliable strategy, is it?
But hold up, there are those rare miracle moments where Flour Sand pops up in worm-free zones. Edges of rock formations are rumored to be possible hideouts. Can’t hurt to snoop around.
Okay, strategy time! Best bet for catching that elusive Flour Sand? Use the compactor tool. Have you got it unlocked after the whole saga known as the second Trial of Aql? Now’s when teamwork makes the dream work. Someone’s got to play the hero and lure the worm away with thumpers, while someone else scoops up the goods.
Flying solo? Good luck. Just take what you need — less is more when a sandworm is breathing down your neck. And keep a backup vehicle snug at your base, ready for emergencies. You might make a clean escape with that extra speed, but let’s be honest, that worm’s like a shadow you can’t shake. Some folks say the Bene Gesserit’s dash skill helps dodge danger, but that’s not a surefire bet if you’re miles from safety.
So, yeah, that’s Flour Sand in a nutshell. Anxiety-causing, unpredictable, but oh so valuable. Go forth, collect, and may the sandworms be ever in your favor. Or not. Who knows?
