Dune: Awakening is a popular MMORPG game with a blend of an open-world survival game experience. If you have played the game, you might have come across the class selection process during the character creation in the beginning. You have these 5 as the class distribution - Trooper, Planetologist, Mentat, Bene Gesserit, and Swordmaster. In the beginning, players are given choices to pick one as their primary class. The Planetologist can be used only as the secondary class and can’t be picked at the beginning of the game.
But, as you advance in the game, you don't have to limit yourself to that one class of your previous selection. The game introduces you to the opportunity to gain the skill sets and abilities of all the classes. So, how can you gain those abilities? That is by finding the specific trainers for the classes during your expedition. You can buy Dune: Awakening Solari from LootBar to make your trainers hunting journey smoother.
Class Trainers
These trainers are the NPCs of the game that will let you unlock new skills and abilities of their designated class through awakening. Furthermore, Trainers exist as Basic and Advanced as Tiers.
While the Basic tier trainers focus on letting the player get familiar to the class by introducing basic mechanics and introductory skills, The Advanced tier trainers help you deepen the mastery of the class and to unlock the final abilities.
Now a question may arise: Can one directly learn the advanced tier abilities? The answer is No, you must complete the basic trainer quests and then only you can proceed to learn from the advanced trainers. The game follows a progressive system so, even if you try to do so, the NPCs will reject you.
So, here is a guide on the awakening trainers of each class and their locations:
