One of the most overlooked aspects of Mentat progression is proper mission selection. With this guide, you'll learn how to pick the most XP-efficient tasks for Mentats at all levels and get the most out of each play session.

Early game, prioritize intelligence-based puzzles, faction simulations, and encoded communication tasks. These offer the highest experience relative to time and typically require little to no combat.

Unlock Insight Mapping and Task Efficiency to begin improving your XP gain per mission. These skills provide increased experience rewards and reduce the cooldown between mission completions.

When browsing contracts or board quests, filter those tagged as “Mentat-Compatible” or “Cognitive Tier.” These usually involve relic restoration, long-range scanning, or AI prediction—all ideal XP farms for Mentats.

Avoid high-risk escort or creature-hunting missions early on. While tempting, they often yield less benefit unless you’re running a combat or hybrid build. Stick to Dune Awakening Solari mental tasks to maximize XP per hour.

Look for daily or rotating Mentat missions at faction hubs. These provide bonuses for completion streaks and can even unlock exclusive neural modules as a secondary reward.

In mid-game, seek out Divergent Logic challenges. These Dune Awakening Items for sale difficult quests grant large XP bonuses but require pattern recognition and puzzle-solving. As a Mentat, you’re uniquely equipped to solve them efficiently.

Build out your Cognitive Index with each mission. This logbook not only provides lore but also unlocks periodic XP bursts as your knowledge database expands and syncs with faction archives.

By following this optimized mission path, your Mentat will progress faster than most players who indiscriminately accept quests, giving you a distinct advantage in both power and understanding of the game world.
