Cleaning salts

[Asmoth]

Do they not exist anymore, or are they just super rare?

I'm asking because I'm filthy! lol

[Jihelu]

I think a certain color of salt does it, or is it flat out "Cleaning salts"?

[Riev]

If a certain NPC complains about a lack of them, its because nobody has turned any in to them.

So far as "cleaning salts" to clean yourself up? I've heard of people using scrub sand, brushes for their armor, even soaps. I've never heard of someone rubbing salt on their wounds to get clean. Though... Allanak will be Allanak.

I was referring to the fact I wasn't finding them where I used to find them.

If they made purplish salts more rare that can only be a good thing.

I do recall a few months ago there was a code change that would allow for more fine-grained control over forage zones.  Perhaps the salt flats are no longer uniform in that regard.

Yeah... This shit is either bugged or they removed it from the main salt flats rooms.  I decided to give my PS4 a break on witcher and come salt a bit... And haven't seen a purplish ever.

You must now venture farther into mekilllot territory to claim the purple passion!

[Harmless]

With all the hundreds of black soapstone coins saved up in the game there are piles and piles of purple salts in the cleaner's still. However once those coins become as rare as salts, it would make sense for the price for them to start going up given their increased scarcity. At that point a little more risk and thrill to get purplish salts will be all the more rewarding. You can have salting teams to be safest for multiple lookouts. Or to have someone else get eaten while everyone else runs.

All in all, like most bad stuff that happens in game there is a silver lining here. The only problem is that cleaning kegs don't have enough uses to really feel worth it vs soap. I think stuff like that can be easily tweaked as needed though.

Also to help you realize the mercy of this issue.

Think about it. Salting was too easy and too profitable. Only the staff could make that a less sweet deal. Given that the old approach would be to animate a mek to come stomping down at you, the increased rarity is a far easier problem. With the best salts more rare you have to voluntarily get closer to meks to find it. All in all this isn't as bad as it initially seems.

Just thought of another reason. With cleaning salts out there now half breeds and desert elves have another advantage. They both would be pretty good at running from a mek. Concept!!! See what fun this is?  ...*beep*

You're supposed to run your purplish foraging script while playing the Witcher, duh.

I wonder if the perceived bump in suspiciously afk PCs is owing to witcher. :-)
