A chalky white pellet with the letters "HH" inscribed in tiny script.
When a desalination pellet is applied to a container of liquid, or dropped into a pool of liquid on the ground, it removes up to 200 drams of salt, leaving behind the pure liquid.
ichor merchants and
Hortensa always have several desalination pellets for sale; they also rarely appear in generalist merchants' inventories.
As desalination pellets have no weight, they can be carried as a means of cleaning widely-available salty water for trade or consumption as an alternative to carrying freshwater or precious metals.
The enterprising player can use a single desalination pellet to turn 1000 drams of brackish water (which typically generates with 20% salt content) into 800 drams of Fresh water. This is best achieved by throwing the pellet into an undisturbed pool from an adjacent space, as standing in newly-desalinated water tends to contaminate it with salt from the ground.
Special Liquid Interactions
Certain liquids change into other liquids under the effect of a desalination pellet.
brain brine turns into
algae.[1]
slime turns into
gel.[2]
sunslag turns into
lava.[3]
warm static turns into any other liquid, including rare ones like
neutron flux. However, it is most likely to turn into
salt.[4]
Generally the only one of these conversions that will be useful to the player is turning slime into
gel, for curing Ironshank or fungal infections.
