Dune Awakening locks your initial class selection permanently, but cross-class progression remains possible. For example, selecting Mentat at character creation doesn’t prevent mastering Swordmaster techniques later. To achieve this, players must locate fundamental trainers for secondary classes and complete their challenges.

Progressing beyond basic abilities requires interaction with elite mentors. For swordsmanship specialists, advanced training occurs through an NPC named Seron Varlin stationed in Harko Village. This walkthrough details pathways for accessing both foundational and expert-level Swordmaster skills.

Accessing Foundational Swordmaster Abilities

Journey northwest from the Shield Wall to locate Arno in Jabal Eifit. This trainer provides entry-level quests unlocking sword-based combat systems. Non-Swordmaster starters must complete his introductory missions to activate core ability trees. Regular contract fulfillment with Arno enhances basic techniques, though progression eventually plateaus without higher-level instruction.

Locating Elite Swordmaster Training

Seron Varlin resides in Harko Village’s secluded eastern district. Upon demonstrating mastery of Arno’s curriculum, this expert offers specialized contracts unlocking superior combat maneuvers. Prospective students must meet strict prerequisites before accessing his missions, which grant advanced skill tree progression upon successful completion.
