1. The Spice Economy: Overview

What Is Spice?

• The most valuable resource on Arrakis.

• Used for crafting, enhancements, trade, and faction currency.

• Consumed in large quantities by Mentats, Navigators, and tech upgrades.

• Traded between players, factions, and NPC guilds.

Dynamic Market

The economy is player-driven and region-sensitive:

• Prices fluctuate based on scarcity, regional demand, and faction control.

• Black market prices often double or triple standard rates.

• Smuggling missions and PvP can directly influence the market.

2. How to Harvest Spice (Legally and Illegally)

Legal Methods

A. Spice Bloom Events

• Timed world events across the desert.

• Reward: High-quality raw spice, rare variants.

B. Contracted Harvesting (Faction-Based)

• Atreides and Harkonnen both offer spice contracts.
