Jasmine Ore in Dune: Awakening — Complete Mining and Production Guide

Jasmine Ore is found only in radioactive zones of Sheol levels 1-4. Don't go there without Radiation Suit Mk4! You also need at least Cutterray Mk4 for mining. It's used to produce Duraluminium - key material for M-tier weapons and endgame facilities. Craft it in Medium Ore Refinery from 500 water, aluminum ingot, and jasmine ore.

What is Jasmine Ore and Why Do You Need It?

Jasmine Ore represents one of the most valuable resources in Dune: Awakening for advanced players. This radioactive ore is essential for producing Duraluminium, which serves as the foundation for crafting M-tier weapons, armor, and most endgame tools or facilities in your base.

Why is Jasmine Ore so important? Without it, you can't progress to endgame content because all advanced items require Duraluminium as a basic component.

Unlike common ores, Jasmine Ore is found exclusively in radioactively contaminated areas, making its collection a dangerous but necessary activity for game progression.

Where to Find Jasmine Ore - Sheol Region 🌍

Jasmine Ore occurs exclusively in the Sheol region, which is one of the most dangerous areas on Arrakis in terms of radiation. This region is located in the southwestern to western part from the central point marked as "Sheol" on the map.

Specific location characteristics include green glowing caves and crystal outcrops with radiation levels 1 to 4. Mining sites are often situated near vertical crystal formations, which are easily recognizable due to their characteristic appearance.

Key Locations in Sheol Region

Edge of Acheron - Intel gathering point This location serves as an important intel gathering hub with the following functions:

• Military Power Regulator - for managing military power in the area
• Hydraulic Piston - component for advanced machinery
• 20x INTEL - provides knowledge for the research tree

Edge of Acheron represents a strategically important place for planning expeditions into radioactive zones. Here you can gather intel about current radiation levels and the safest routes to Jasmine Ore deposits.

Limbo - nearest staging area Limbo represents the nearest relatively safe zone to main Jasmine Ore deposit areas. In this location you'll find:

• Micro-sandwich Fabric - material for advanced crafting
• EMF Generator - electromagnetic equipment

💡 Pro tip: Limbo is an ideal place to set up a temporary base or supply cache before trips deep into radioactive zones. Its proximity to Jasmine Ore deposits makes it a strategic staging point.

Radiation Suit Mk5 Without Crafting

In the Sheol area, you can find schematic containers containing blueprints. These containers are often placed in abandoned structures or hidden caches scattered across regions.

Radiation Suit Mk5 provides superior 92% protection compared to the Mk4 variant and allows for longer and safer stays in high-radiation zones. Finding these schematics is an investment in the long-term efficiency of your Jasmine Ore farming runs.

Specific Coordinates and Areas

According to captured game data, this concerns the Sheol area with the following parameters:

• Radiation Level: 2-4 (varies by specific location)
• Heat Level: 0 (due to position outside main desert)
• Resource Density: High concentration in marked points

💡 Pro tip: Use the map filter to display radioactive and crystalline deposits. Resources on the map are marked by density in the "Resource Density" section, which helps you find the richest deposit areas.

Required Equipment for Mining ⚒️

Mining Jasmine Ore requires not only radiation protection but also advanced mining tools. Without proper equipment, you won't even reach this valuable ore.

Cutterray Mk4 - Essential Tool

For mining Jasmine Ore, you absolutely need at least Cutterray Mk4. Lower versions of Cutterray (Mk1, Mk2, Mk3) cannot penetrate the hardness of this radioactive material and cannot extract it.

Cutterray Mk4 represents a significant upgrade over previous versions and is specifically designed for working with high-tier materials in dangerous environments. Without it, a trip to Sheol is practically pointless.

❌ A common mistake is venturing into radioactive zones with inadequate tools and discovering on-site that you can't mine the main resource you went there for.

Critical Equipment: Radiation Suit Mk4 and Higher 🧥

Without appropriate radiation protection, entering the Sheol area is practically suicidal. Radiation doesn't kill immediately, but gradually depletes your health and can cause death within minutes of exposure.

Minimum Equipment Requirements

Radiation Suit Mk4 represents the absolute minimum for survival in these areas. Ideally, you should use Mk5 or higher variants for longer and safer mining sessions.

Radiation Suit Mk4 is crafted in Garment Fabricator and requires the following components:

• Water: 340 units
• Aluminum Ingot: 35 pieces
• Plasteel Microflora Fiber: 21 pieces
• Silicone Block: 25 pieces

You can find the crafting schematic in Shipwrecks scattered across Arrakis or in schematic containers directly in the Sheol region. I recommend investing time in finding Mk5 schematics in the area for superior protection.

Radiation Monitoring

During your stay in radioactive zones, constantly monitor your radiation status in the bottom left corner of the screen near your "Q" ability. If the red indicator fills too quickly, immediately leave the area and let your character regenerate.

Mining Process and Yield ⛏️

The actual mining of Jasmine Ore requires a combination of Cutterray Mk4 and proper technique. Even with proper equipment, this process is more demanding than regular mining.

Optimal Mining Procedure

Before starting mining, plan your route and identify the most profitable deposit points. Jasmine Ore is usually found in vertical crystal formations, which are easily recognizable due to their characteristic green glow.

During mining with Cutterray Mk4, you'll get approximately +14 Jasmine Ore per strike (may vary according to tool efficiency). Monitor your inventory space and radiation status - it's better to make several shorter trips than risk death due to radiation overdose.

I recommend mining during stable radiation levels and avoiding areas with radiation level 4 unless you have truly quality protection gear.

Strategic Use of Staging Areas

Use Limbo as a base camp for your mining operations. Its proximity to main deposit areas allows you to:

• Quick resupply runs between mining sessions
• Safe storage for extracted materials
• Monitor radiation levels before entering danger zones
• Quick retreat point in case of emergency

Mining Efficiency

Cutterray Mk4 marked as "Good efficiency" provides optimal balance between speed and resource yield. Higher versions like Mk5 or Mk6 are even more efficient, but for basic Jasmine Ore farming, Mk4 is sufficient.

Duraluminium Production - Key Process ⚙️

Jasmine Ore itself isn't directly usable - its main value lies in producing Duraluminium, which is the basic material for all advanced crafting recipes.

Duraluminium Recipe

Duraluminium is crafted in Medium Ore Refinery according to the following recipe:

• Water: 500 units
• Aluminum Ingot: 1 piece
• Jasmine Ore: 3 pieces

The result is 1 Duraluminium, which you can use for crafting M-tier weapons, advanced tools, or endgame facilities in your base.

Strategic Production Planning

Production proceeds relatively quickly but is very water-intensive. I recommend building water collection systems in parallel or finding reliable water sources near your base.

💡 Pro tip: Given the high water requirements, it's often more efficient to collect larger quantities of Jasmine Ore at once and then perform batch production of Duraluminium.

Using Duraluminium in Endgame Content 🏗️

Duraluminium is an indispensable material for most endgame activities in Dune: Awakening. Without it, you can't craft:

Mk5+ Tier Weapons and Armor

All advanced weapons marked as "Mk5+" require Duraluminium as a basic component. Similarly, advanced armor sets that provide superior protection against environmental hazards.

Endgame Tools and Facilities

Advanced mining tools, construction equipment, and specialized facilities like Advanced Refineries or Research Stations all depend on Duraluminium for their production.

Safety Tips and Survival Strategies 📌

Successful Jasmine Ore mining requires careful planning and risk management. Here are key strategies for minimizing risk:

Expedition Preparation

Before a trip to Sheol, check the condition of your radiation gear and Cutterray Mk4. Make sure you have enough repair materials, as equipment wears out faster in high-radiation environments.

Use Edge of Acheron for intel gathering - obtain current information about radiation levels and identify the safest routes to deposit areas.

Plan escape routes through Limbo and identify safe zones where you can regenerate if radiation levels become too high. Never go to Sheol without a backup plan.

During Mining

Map the area and mark locations with the highest Jasmine Ore density for future expeditions. Use the waypoint system for efficient navigation between Limbo staging area and mining sites.

Monitor not only the radiation meter but also the durability of your tools and armor. Nothing is worse than discovering your radiation suit or Cutterray broke in the middle of a contaminated zone.

Post-Expedition Procedure

After returning from radioactive zones, immediately check your radiation level and wait for natural regeneration before other activities if necessary.

Process obtained Jasmine Ore as soon as possible in Medium Ore Refinery, because inventory space is precious and you may need room for additional materials.
