Where to find Dune Awakening Erythrite Crystal and get Cobalt Paste

The pretty pink gems are essential for crafting Cobalt Paste and late-game gear, so here’s how to get Dune Awakening Erythrite Crystals.

Where do you get Dune Awakening Erythrite crystals? It might be an MMO, but, at its core, Dune Awakening is a crafting survival game. Arrakis is a harsh environment after all, and it's going to take some pretty good gear and a solid base to survive the sandstorms and scavengers.

You'll find plenty of copper and stone to start with, but more valuable materials are harder to come by. Getting your hands on these rarer resources in MMO, but the pink Erythrite Crystals waiting for you are worth the risk, especially when you need Cobalt Paste.

Where to find Erythrite Crystals

The earliest place to find Dune Awakening Erythrite Crystals is in the Hagga Rift to the northeast of Hagga Basin South. Head into the rift itself to find Erythrite Crystals in underground mineral extraction facilities.

These facilities are marked with an ore-filled minecart icon, as shown in the image above. Once here, Erythrite crystals are fairly easy to spot thanks to their bright pink color, and they are most likely found along the walls of the rift. You shouldn't have to enter any guarded areas to find them, but you should be prepared for battle if you want to farm as many as possible.

Getting into and leaving the Rift is a mission in itself, so you should also make sure that you know how to get Dune Awakening base alive with all those crystals. The last thing you want is to break down in front of a sandworm.

How to use Erythrite Crystals

Using a small or medium chemical refinery, Dune Awakening Erythrite Crystals can be turned into Cobalt Paste. Cobalt Paste itself is used in many later game crafting and fabricating recipes, including Ornithopter parts.

In a small refinery, three crystals give one cobalt paste, so you're better off using the medium refinery, which has a 2:1 exchange. When you want to craft an ornithopter, a buggy, or weapons like the Arhun K-28 Lasgun, you're going to need a lot of Cobalt Paste. For example, the Ornithopter MK5 chassis alone requires 25 Cobalt Paste, while the improved MK6 uses 45.

Now you know where to find Erythrite Crystals in Dune Awakening, you're well on your way to researching and crafting the best gear in the Dune Awakening crossplay works to get your whole Guild involved.
