The endgame of Dune: Awakening is all about completing tasks and helping the ruling factions reign over Arrakis via the Landsraad. Both PvP and PvE players can participate in this arms race, and among the many potential Landsraad activities, players may find themselves looking for Ship Manifests.
There are plenty of resources and valuables to fight for in Dune: Awakening, but when it comes to the endgame, players will need very specific resources and valuables if they want to contend with the opposing faction. Ship Manifests are just one of the many types of things that the Houses will ask from players, and if you’re not sure where to find them, here’s a guide to help you out.

For those diving into the sands of Dune: Awakening, here are some useful beginner tips to help them in their adventure.
Dune: Awakening – Ship Manifest Locations
Ship Manifests can be found on the wreckages of small cargo ships that randomly fall out of the sky. Players can scavenge the ships to find decent quantities of valuable resources like Plasteel Microflora Fiber, Spice Sand, and Complex Machinery. Usually, these wrecks also drop a Ship Manifest or two.
The thing about scavenging these shipwrecks is that they tend to fall on open sand, which means players will risk getting eaten by a sandworm if they take too long to cut the ships open. There’s not much one can do to totally prevent worms from heading to a crashed ship, so if you plan on checking a crash site out, consider the following:
- Avoid activating your shield and suspensor belt
- Use boots that reduce Sandworm aggression
- Bring a Sandbiike or Ornithopter with an attached booster module for a quick escape
If you hear a random explosion outside, a ship has probably crashed nearby. That, or a Spice Blow occured.
What to Do With Ship Manifests
Ship Manifests are one of the resources/valuables that are usually requested by the different Houses of the Empire during active Landsraad terms. Players can give Ship Manifests to Houses that require them in exchange for rewards.
Apart from the rewards you get from contributing to Landsraad tasks, you’ll also be contributing to your faction’s victory for that Landsraad term. If your faction wins, then the top guilds of your faction will earn the right to vote for Decrees, which give perks/benefits to all players on the server (unless otherwise specified).
Landsraad tasks are often very generous with the rewards they give, so if you see a crashed ship in the desert, try to crack them open and get some Ship Manifests for future Landsraad tasks. You might also want to strap a scanner onto your vehicle and start hunting for Opafire Gems too, since those are also needed for certain Landsraad contracts.
