How to get Salt in Enshrouded
Here's where to go to get Salt in Enshrouded
Looking for Salt in Enshrouded? Salt is used primarily for drying out Animal Furs in the Drying Rack in Enshrouded, which unlocks a new tier of armours to help you survive in the more challenging areas of Enshrouded's open-world. But it's quite hard to come by Salt, unless you know exactly where to go.
In this quick guide, we'll point out three of the best Salt locations in Enshrouded, so you can spend as long as you like (within the Shroud timer, that is) collecting the all-important, life-giving mineral.
How to get Salt in Enshrouded
Unlike Flintstone, which can be found dotted around many areas of the Springlands, Salt in Enshrouded can only be found in the Shroud itself. To get Salt, you need to venture to specific areas within the Shroud to find Salt or Saline mines, and mine it yourself with your trusty Pickaxe.
The first Salt deposit you're likely to come across in Enshrouded is found by awakening the Hunter NPC and speaking to her, after which she'll tell you that you'll need Salt to start curing and drying animal fur to make her higher tiers of armour. She will mark the location of the Egerton Salt Mines on your map:
As with all Salt deposits, the Egerton Salt Mine is inside the Shroud, so make sure you're prepared to spend time inside the Shroud and ready to fight the Fell enemies you'll find there. You may wish to use a Shroud Survival Flask before entering the Shroud, to give yourself more time to mine the Salt you need.
Other Salt Mine locations
The Egerton Salt Mine is not the only nearby source of Salt early on in Enshrouded. The very best early source of Salt that we've found so far is actually not marked on the map by default, but it's closer to your original spawn point, and much safer too.
You can find the unmarked Salt deposit by heading west from the Longkeep, sticking to the edge of the cliff as you go, until you reach the Peaceful Acres farmstead. Just beyond the farm is a small ravine which you can drop into to find a wealth of Salt ripe for the mining. Check the map below for the exact location:
The bottom of the ravine is within the Shroud, so you still have to be wary of how much time you spend down there. But on the bright side, the only enemies you'll come across are a couple of low-level critters, so it's by far the safest Salt mine we've found so far in Enshrouded.
There's another Salt deposit near your starting point, this time to the east of the Longkeep and down into the Shroud. It's called the Saline Quarry, and while it is filled with critter nests and Fell enemies, it's also a very lucrative source of Salt. You can find it here:
Any of these locations will give you Salt in the hundreds, or even thousands if you spend long enough mining it. The key thing to remember is: keep track of your Shroud timer! Salt may be useful, but it isn't worth dying over.
